Synthesis and characterization of thermolatent bases with varying activation temperatures

Key Points

• Thermolatent bases show a tunable temperature for base release based on molecular structure.
• Thermal stability varies systematically among quaternary ammonium salts tested, impacting their activation temperatures.
• Synthesis of these salts grants enhanced control over when the Brønsted bases are released upon heating.
• Findings support applications in controlled release systems, indicating significant utility in material science.
