Plus sign in the middle of a ring

Question

I would like to draw in chemfig the following picture:

But I am struggling with the "+" sign in the middle of the circle. Is there a way to draw it? Thank you!

What I have so far is this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\begin{document}

\chemfig{
  N**[0,-150,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt]5(
    (-R)-(-R^1)-[,,1,2]{+\hspace{0.3cm}}|{O}-[,,2,1]--
  )
}

\end{document}

which does the work, but I really don't like the way it is done (e.g. it does not scale).

Answer 1

The following examples uses that the tikz code for the arc uses a center node named arccenter. The tikz option argument for the \draw command of the arc can be used with option late options to put a label in the center:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\begin{document}

\chemfig{
  N**[0,-144,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt,
       late options={name=arccenter,label=center:+}]
  5( (-R)-(-R^1)-O--- )
}

\end{document}

Answer 2

I'd use an invisible bond pointing to the center of the ring (with a relative angle) to place the plus. Something like (-[::126,,,,draw=none]\oplus), possibly scaled a bit. On the other hand I do like Heiko's answer better than mine :)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\begin{document}

\chemfig{
  R-[:36]N
  **[216,360,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt]5(
    -(-[::126,.6,,,draw=none]\oplus)
     (-R|_1)
    -O(-[,,,,draw=none]X^{-})
    ---
  )
}

\end{document}

Answer 3

In a bind, you can slap it on after the fact with a \stackinset. The syntax here means that the inset item (a bold +) is placed 10pt to the right of center, and 15pt above center on the underlying \chemfig.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\begin{document}

\stackinset{c}{10pt}{c}{15pt}{\textbf{+}}{%
\chemfig{
  N**[0,-150,dash pattern=on 2pt off 2pt]5(
    (-R)-(-R^1)-[,,1,2]{}|{O}-[,,2,1]--
  )
}%
}
\end{document}
