Reduction-Induced C─C Cleavage and Site-Specific Hydrogenation of a Highly Strained Bilayer Spironanographene

The chemical reduction of a bilayer spironanographene, spiro-NG (C137H120), with Na and K metals in the presence of [2.2.2]cryptand to yield [Na+(2.2.2-cryptand)](C137H121−) (1) and [K+(2.2.2-cryptand)](C137H121−) (2), respectively, is reported. X-ray crystallography reveals the formation of a new “...
