In transition-metal complexes of buckminsterfullerene (C60),[1] the metal atom is bonded to two carbon atoms (η2) shared by two six-membered rings. On the other hand, curved-surface fragments of C60, called buckybowls, are difficult to prepare and few transition-metal complexes of them have been reported.[2–4] Improved procedures for the synthesis of corannulene [5, 6](C20H10, 1) have led to the preparation of the η6 complexes[Cp* Ru (η6-C20H10)](O3SCF3)[3] and [Cp* Ir (η6-C20H10)](BF4) 2,[4] in which Cp* is η5-C5Me5. Although these complexes have been wellcharacterized by their NMR spectra, neither has been isolated as the analytically pure solid. Recently, the gas-phase deposition synthesis of [{Rh2 (O2CCF3) 4} m·(C20H10) n](m: n= 1: 1 and 3: 2), were reported.[2a] Their structures, as determined by X-ray diffraction studies, contain 1D and 2D networks of [Rh2 (O2CCF3) 4] and corannulene units in which the {Rh2} groups are η2-coordinated to both the convex and concave sides of the corannulene. These are the only crystal structures of transition-metal complexes of corannulene. Herein, we report the first X-ray structural characterization of a corannulene that contains η6-coordinated metal fragments. Of particular interest are the observations that the two {Cp* Ru}+ fragments are on opposite sides of the corannulene bowl, which is significantly flattened as compared to free corannulene.The reaction of [{Cp* Ru (μ3-Cl)} 4][7](0.020 mmol) with AgBF4 (for 2a) or AgPF6(2b)(0.081 mmol) and 1 (0.040 mmol) in a 2: 1 ratio of {Cp* Ru}+ to C20H10 in CD3NO2 under an Ar atmosphere at room temperature gave the dimetallated complex [(Cp* Ru) 2 (μ2-η6, η6-C20H10)] X2 (X= BF4 À (2a), PF6 À (2b))(Figure 1). Both 2a and 2b are
