Organic superbases are mostly charge-neutral, nitrogen containing species, where nitrogen act as a proton acceptor. These include the phosphazenes, phosphanes , amidines, and guanidines. Other organic compounds that meet the physicochemical or structural definitions of 'superbase' include proton chelators like the aromatic proton sponges and ...
7-Methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (mTBD) is a bicyclic strong guanidine base (pK a = 25.43 in CH 3 CN and pK a = 17.9 in THF). [3] mTBD, like 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene and other guanidine super bases, can be used as a catalyst in a variety of chemical reactions. [4]
In Organic Chemistry, superacids are used as a means of protonating alkanes to promote the use of carbocations in situ during reactions. The resulting carbocations are of much use in organic synthesis of numerous organic compounds, the high acidity of the superacids helps to stabilize the highly reactive and unstable carbocations for future ...
An organic base is an organic compound which acts as a base. Organic bases are usually, but not always, proton acceptors. They usually contain nitrogen atoms, which can easily be protonated. For example, amines or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds have a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and can thus act as proton acceptors. [1]

In chemistry, the Verkade base (or Verkade superbase) is a powerful superbase with the formula P(MeNCH 2 CH 2) 3 N. A colorless oil, it is an aminophosphine although its inventor John Verkade called it proazaphosphatrane.
Bases of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen without resonance stabilization are usually very strong, or superbases, which cannot exist in a water solution due to the acidity of water. Resonance stabilization, however, enables weaker bases such as carboxylates; for example, sodium acetate is a weak base .
The Hammett acidity function (H 0) is a measure of acidity that is used for very concentrated solutions of strong acids, including superacids.It was proposed by the physical organic chemist Louis Plack Hammett [1] [2] and is the best-known acidity function used to extend the measure of Brønsted–Lowry acidity beyond the dilute aqueous solutions for which the pH scale is useful.
