There is also a notable trend in the dihedral angles observed for the optimized structures: the structures with a thiophene ring adjacent to the guaiazulene system (i, iv, v, x and xiii) do not exhibit a change in dihedral angle between these systems upon protonation, instead both forms are planar.
