In particular we give examples of non-formal spaces $X$ for which the topological complexity $\TC(X)$ (defined to be the genus of the free path fibration on $X$) is greater than the zero-divisors cup-length plus one.11 pages; minor revisions and 1 added reference; to appear in the Proceedings of the M.
