Feb 18, 2021 at 16:18 comment added deuti Yes sp2 carbon is planar and sp3 isn't It depends if that is a transition state, a byproduct or the main product (probably not). To find the molecule with the lowest energy you have to do a theoretical calculation or measure the XRD in certain properties.
Feb 18, 2021 at 16:09 comment added Alchimista @HarryHolmes with reference to your last comment - to which Ivan Neretin already replied - I suggest that you read my answer to chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/146178/… as it is strongly related as well as it clarifies some uses of terms.
Feb 18, 2021 at 13:57 comment added Ivan Neretin It is a mutual thing. Planarity is a requirement for conjugation, and conjugation enforces planarity.
Feb 18, 2021 at 13:42 comment added harry @Ivan Neretin; wait, ring planarity is due to conjugation? I thought planarity was a requirement for the latter.

Feb 18, 2021 at 13:35 comment added Ivan Neretin That's right, there is no conjugation, hence no reason for the whole thing to be planar.
