Shouldn't CsO
be stronger?

Lithium has EN=0.98, but Caesium has EN=0.79. Alfa-ketosav ( talk) 16:51, 8 April 2018 (UTC) reply

The statement that "LiO was the strongest known base until the diethynylbenzene dianions" is supported by both refs cited in the ortho-Diethynylbenzene dianion article. I don't know off-hand what the predicted pKa of CsOH is or what studies might have been published regarding CsO. DMacks ( talk) 16:57, 16 April 2018 (UTC) reply
There are other considerations at work. Calculations expect that NaO is a weaker base than LiO, although it is still about as strong as Me. Double sharp ( talk) 01:44, 26 April 2018 (UTC) reply
