摘要
Substituted tetrahedranes offer exceptional carbon bases with the gas-phase proton affinities (PAs) up to 356 kcal mol(-1), due to the strain-induced ring opening upon protonation. Additional tetrahedrane moieties exert a dramatic basicity amplification to PAs reaching 600 kcal mol(-1), being the strongest organic superbases reported, clearly surpassing the proposed limit of achievable basicities (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 9262). However, because protonation/deprotonation of these compounds is not reversible, PAs of the opened-cage isomers were calculated which were lower than the basiciy limit.
