Corannulene is a °C.

Several synthetic routes exist to corannulene. Flash vacuum pyrolysis techniques generally have low elimination reaction of an octabromide with potassium hydroxide:

The bromine substituents are removed with an excess of n-butyllithium.

The observed reducing agent two tetraanions form a supramolecular dimer with two bowls stacked into each other (convex-convex) and with 4 lithium ions in between and 2 pairs above and below the stack.

In one cyclopenta[bc]corannulene a concave - concave aggregate is observed by NMR spectroscopy with 2 C–Li–C bonds connecting the tetraanions [3].
