In recent years, triazolylidene carbenes have come to the forefront as important organocatalysts for a wide range of reactions. The fundamental properties of these species, however, remain largely unknown. Herein, the gas phase acidities have been measured and calculated for a series of triazolium cations (the conjugate acids of the triazolylidene carbenes) that have not been heretofore examined in vacuo. The results are discussed in the context of these species as catalysts. We find correlation ...[more]
