    N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an interesting family of molecules that have potential applications in hydrogen storage via the “molecular corking effect”. Benefits of using NHC backbones as molecular corks include their modularity via functionalization and synthetic diversity. Changing the functional groups can lead to new properties depending on their donation or withdrawal of electron density. Additionally, mono- and di-protonation of the carbene on the various backbones was observed to have significant effects on their proton affinity. We hypothesize that proton affinity can be utilized to understand the sigma donation effects of the evaluated molecules, which are expected to be predictive of the bond strength of an NHC to a surface.
