Polar curved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soot formation by Menon, Angiras, Martin, Jacob W., Bowal, Kimberly, Slavchov, Radomir I., Akroyd, Jethro, Mosbach, Sebastian, Kraft, Markus

“…The earliest (smallest size) onset of curvature integration was found to be a six ring PAH with at least one pentagonal ring. The σ bonding in the presence of pentagons led to curvature, however, the π bonding strongly favored a planar geometry delaying the onset of curvature and therefore the induction of a flexoelectric dipole moment. …”
