The highly pyramidal, highly strained 1,4,16-dodecahedratriene (4) and C20H12 1,4,10(14),16-dodecahedratetraene (5) are cage olefins with an intriguing "inner life". For 5 DFT calculations give information about the energetic and geometrical consequences of one-/two-electron oxidation and reduction. Attempts to prepare 4 and 5 through thermal retro[2+2]/[4+2]cycloaddition strategies proved unsuccessful. Still, the C20H14/C20H12 cage cations and anions are liberated upon electron impact or gas-discharge ionization of their thermally extremely stable tris-/tetrakisanthraceno-anellated derivatives. Mass-selection (photoelectron (PE) characterization) of the anions failed, however, due to the very small anion intensity, the preferential formation of hydrogen-poor ions, and minor cage disruption.
