A six-stage amphoteric redox hydrocarbon radical 3(.) containing three phenalenyl units was prepared. Cyclic voltammogram of 3(.) exhibits six reversible redox waves with a small numerical sum (E-1(sum)) of first oxidation (E-1(ox)) and reduction (E-1(red)) potentials. Some redox states of 3(.) were successfully generated from the neutral 3(.) and characterized by NMR, ESR, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopies, and theoretical calculations. The spin and the charges are delocalized over the entire C-3 molecule of 3(3+), 3(.2+) 3(.) and 3(3-). On the other hand, 3(.2-) shows the localization of the spin on one phenalenyl unit; these results are consistent with the distorted C-2 structure caused by the Jahn-Teller effect.
