It is not only about the acceptor<br />

power but also about basicity!<br />

Design: Anion-based approach<br />

• Design an anion, which<br />

• Has delocalized charge<br />

• Is as stable as possible<br />

• Has as few as possible protonation sites <strong>and</strong><br />

those are <strong>of</strong> low basicity<br />

Not looking at any particular acidity<br />
