The first structural characterization of the transient triply-reduced state of corannulene (C<sub>20</sub>H<sub>10</sub>) is accomplished. The X-ray crystallographic study reveals that the C<sub>20</sub>H<sub>10</sub>˙<sup>3-</sup> trianions, generated by corannulene reduction with metallic cesium, form a novel type of supramolecular sandwich-type assembly, [Cs<sup>+</sup>//(C<sub>20</sub>H<sub>10</sub><sup>3-</sup>)/4Cs<sup>+</sup>/(C<sub>20</sub>H<sub>10</sub><sup>3-</sup>)//Cs<sup>+</sup>].
