The insertion of electrons into x-hydrocarbons C, H, releases less energy than is needed for electron expulsion, and within the total energy scale for the molecular states, the resulting molecu-lar anions [C, H,]"-are located below the ground state of the uncharged molecule,[''in contrast to the molecular cations [C, H,]"+. Single-electron reductions generate radical anion salts, which can be either solvent-separated [Met:,,][C, H,]'-or solvent-shared contact ion pairs [Met+(C, H,)'-],,,,, and the structural changes upon transition from the neutral molecule to the radical anion are only small.['3 21 In contrast, two electron reductions to either solvent-separated or solvent-shared contact ion triples [Met~ i,],[C, H,] 2-or [Met:(C, HJ2-IFoIv usually cause severe structural distortions."'For instance, in ethylene derivatives R, C= CR,, on reduction of the neutral molecule to the dianion the double bond is stretched to a single one, around which the two molecular halves twist;['] allenes R, C= C= CR, are folded at their central C center and protonated;"] and sixmembered benzene rings can be deformed into a" boat" conformati~ n.'~'Although up to four consecutive reversible one-electron oxidations are observed in cyclic voltammetric studies,"] a single-electron reduction of benzene can be achieved only under extremely aprotic conditions at the potential range limit.
