Prediction of new organic superacids by computational chemistry

According to a widely accepted definition by Gillespie and Peel (1973) a superacid is any acid stronger than 100% sulphuric acid. There is an ongoing interest in chemistry for compounds exhibiting extreme acidity, since neutral superacids are the most important catalysts in chemical transformations. The modern study of superacids has significant importance in a variety of fields of research, including organic synthesis, ionic liquids, electrochemical technologies involving fuels cell and batteries. Beside that, very stable anions produced upon deprotonation of strong acids proved useful in isolation of chemically very important, exceptionally reactive and long-sought cations like HC60+, C6H7+, Me3C+, Bu3Sn+ and Xe2+. Taking this into account, a design of novel neutral organic superacids is vital from practical and scientific points of view.
