Abstract
Spreading the charge: Anion clusters of anthracene, (An)n-, with n values of up to 6 were studied and found to contain a distinctly monomeric, dimeric, or trimeric ion core with a delocalized electronic charge (see figure). Coexistence of dimeric and trimeric ion cores was observed in (An)4-, but the ion core reverts to a monomeric one in (An)5-, with the completion of a solvation shell around the monomer anion.
