Ad ehydrobenzo [12]annulene attached by three platinum catecholate units is oxidized chemically or electrochemically to generate mono-, di-, and trications. Similarly,ap latinum catecholate complex with ad ibenzo [8]annulene framework also generates mono-and dications upon oxidation. On the basis of theoretical and spectroscopic studies with respectt oe nergetic, structural, and magnetic criteria, these dications are deduced to be aromatic, thus demonstrating an ew methodf or stabilizing aromatic dications.Aromaticity has been asubjectofinterest over many decades [1]
