We prove the existence of sequences of smooth positive solutions to the critical Schrödinger-Poisson system which are not bounded in H 1 when the dimension n of the ambient space is 4 and 5. Our results are in striking contrast with the lower dimensional case n = 3 and the higher dimensional cases n ≥ 6 where, by Hebey and Wei [12] and Thizy [21], no such sequences of solutions exist. The phenomenon we point out in this paper is very particular to dimensions 4 and 5.
