Abstract
The proton affinity (PA) and gas phase basicity (GB) values for some of previously detected strained cyclic allenes are estimated by computations incorporating DFT calculations with functional B3LYP in the 6–311 + G(d,p) basis. Our calculations demonstrate that all of the studied structures show high basicity strengths and some of them can be even considered as superbasic compounds. The bond lengths and bond angles changes in allenic moiety upon protonation as well as effective parameters on basicity strengths are discussed for each case.
