The synthesis and characterization of the novel 4,7‐bis(dialkylamino)tricyclo[5.2.1.0 4,10 ]deca‐1(10), 2,5,8‐tetraenes 12 from 1,4,7‐trihalotriquinacenes 8 and secondary amines is reported. The structural and electronic characteristics of these as well as the acepentalene dianion ( 3 2− ) and some related systems as determined by semiempirical (MNDO) calculations are discussed. Thereby, 3 2− should be a triply etheno‐bridged trimethylenemethane dianion exhibiting Y‐delocalization favored over the formation of a peripheral 10π‐electronic system. Attempts directed towards the generation of 3 2− by reacting tetraenes 12 with Na led to the formation of tris(dialkylamino)triquinacenes 9 , presumably by a kind of reduction/disproportionation mechanism.
