Organic radical ions play increasingly important roles in a wide range of research fields from biochemistry to materials science. o-Semiquinone is a typical organic radical anion with multistage redox ability that can form chelate salts and complexes with many kinds of metal cations. Investigation of a variety of transition-metal complexes of o-semiquinone radical could help not only to increase general knowledge of their fundamental chemistry but also to develop functional materials based on valence tautomerism phenomena. 3] In contrast, the alkali-metal salts have been extensively studied, and much attention has been focused on the dynamic behavior of their structure and of the electronic features of the ion pair in solution. 5] Solution-phase ESR spectroscopy measurements of some alkali-metal salts show significant temperature dependence in their hyperfine coupling constants (hfccs). The origin of this behavior has been only qualitatively interpreted as temperature-dependent positional change or migration of the alkali-metal cation to the oxygen atoms of the o-semiquinone radical. A quantitative discussion of such dynamic behavior has not been carried out to date. Recently, we synthesized and isolated corannulene (1)based stable neutral monoand diradical derivatives with bowl-shaped non-alternant p-conjugated systems. Their three-dimensional spin-delocalized nature and intraand intermolecular magnetic interactions were experimentally illustrated in terms of geometrical and topological aspects. These studies have inspired us to design a novel bowl-shaped radical anion system 2C based on corannulene with the o-
