Mesoionic
Mesoionic chemical compounds or mesoionic compounds are dipolar five membered heterocyclic compounds in which both the negative and the positive charges are delocalized.[1][2] A completely uncharged structure cannot be written and mesoionic compounds cannot be represented satisfactorily by any one mesomeric structure.[2] Mesoionic compounds are a subclass of betaines.[2] Examples are sydnones and sydnone imines (e.g. the stimulant mesocarb), and münchnones.[1][2][3]
The formal positive charge is associated with the ring atoms and the formal negative charge is associated either with ring atoms or an exocyclic nitrogen atom.[4] These compounds are stable zwitterionic compounds[5] and belong to nonbenzenoid aromatics.[6]
