title: Electrochemical and EPR studies of the corannulene ruthenium(II) sandwich complex [(eta6-C6Me6)Ru(eta6-C20H10)](SbF6)(2).
abstract: The dication [(eta6-C6Me6)Ru(eta6-C20H10)]2+ in propylene carbonate solution exhibits a sequence of reduction processes that is either metal-centered [Ru(II)/Ru(I)/Ru(0)] or ligand-centered. The marginally stable Ru(I) monocation [(eta6-C6Me6)Ru(eta6-C20H10)]+ has been characterized by EPR spectroscopy. The electrochemistry of C20H10 and EPR features of its stable monoanion [C20H10]- have also been revisited.
