title: 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.
