Lots of potential: a trifluoromethylated corannulene, C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5), has been prepared and characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography. The structure exhibits a highly ordered bowl stacking that is unusual for corannulenes with acyclic substituents. The first reduction of C(5)-C(20)H(5)(CF(3))(5) is anodically shifted by 0.95 V, making it the strongest corannulene-based electron acceptor to date.
