Diiminium nucleophile adducts, convenient Lewis acids that satisfy some measures for superacidity, have been synthesised by coordination with stabilising pyridine donors. Even in their abstraction of...

Carbon and hydrocarbons are fundamental building blocks of life. Here, we present a comprehensive computational study on the stability and reactivity of CHx±n (X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) species across charge states n ranging from −4 to +4 and multiplicities from singlet to quintet. We benchmark suitable methods and select CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ for computing the bond dissociation energies (BDEs), proton affinities (PAs), hydride affinities (HAs), electron affinities (EAs), and ionization potentials (IPs). We discuss observed trends in charge-dependent stability and reactivity, with implications for a fundamental understanding of carbon–hydrogen species. We believe that these data will be useful for further investigations of highly reactive hydrocarbons in unusual electronic states.

Knowledge of the physicochemical properties and the reactivity of functional groups is invaluable in organic chemistry. While substantial understanding of properties/reactivities exists for standard ...

In this study, we report that reacting electron-rich arenes and benzoic acids with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride gives convenient one-step and one-pot access to triphenylmethylium trifluorometha...
