the aromatic proton sponges and the bispidines. Multicyclic polyamines, like DABCO might also be loosely included in this category. Phosphanes and carbodiphosphoranes are also strong organosuperbases.

Despite enormous proton affinity, many organosuperbases can exhibit low nucleophilicity.

Superbases are used in organocatalysis.
