A 1H and 13C n.m.r. study of the pyrene dianion and proposed tetra-anion

Abstract
Sodium or potassium metal reduction of pyrene in tetrahydrofuran is shown to yield the paratropic, D2h symmetric dianion and minor amounts of the 1-hydropyrenyl monoanion; the latter compounds affords n.m.r. data that earlier had been incorrectly assigned to an unsymmetrical dianion or tetra-anion.
