2-amino-5-chloropyrimidin-1-ium hydrogen maleate by Fun, Hoong-Kun., Hemamalini, Madhukar., Rajakannan, Venkatachalam.

“…In the roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 Å) hydrogen malate anion, an intramolecular O-HO hydrogen bond generates an S(7) ring. In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. …”

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. …”
