First principle studies toward the design of a new class of carbene superbases involving intramolecular H⋯π interactions

Abstract

The higher basicity of carbenes has been exploited with H⋯π non-bonding interactions to design a new class of organic superbases. This simple molecular architecture gains a basicity comparable to some of the known functionalized nitrogen superbases and phosphazenes.
