Abstract
The treatment of CaI~2~(THF)~2~ with potassium and fluoranthene (mole ratio 1:2:2) in THF affords [Ca(THF)~6~][C~16~H~10~]~2~·2C~16~H~10~ (1). The X‐ray structure analysis of 1 shows that the compound consists of separate [Ca(THF)~6~]^2+^ cations, [C~16~H~10~]^·^^−^ radical anions and neutral fluoranthene molecules. The neutral and radical‐anionic fluoranthene species can be distinguished by the differences in the skeleton C−C bond lengths. The presence of fluoranthene radical anions in THF solutions of 1 is proved by ESR spectroscopy and is further supported by the ^1^H NMR spectrum of 1, which does not give any indication of radical coupling.

The two diamine pentamolybdates, (C 2 H 10 N 2 ) [Mo 5 O 16 ] and (C 4 H 12 N 2 ) [Mo 5 O 16 ], have been hydrothermally synthesized (1803C, 24 h, autogenous pressure). The ethylenediamine pentamolybdate was powdered and its structure was solved ab initio from conventional X-ray powder di4raction. S
