In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(2)(NCS)(4)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(3)(CH(3)OH)(2)](n), each nickel(II) cation is coordinated by three N-bonded pyrimidine ligands, two N-bonded thio-cyanate anions and one O-bonded methanol mol-ecule in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The asymmetric unit consists of one nickel cation, two thio-cyanate anions and one methanol mol-ecule in general po...

brønsted acidic ionic liquid triethylamine-bonded sulfonic acid {[et3n-so3h]cl} efficiently catalyzes the one-pot multi-component condensation of 2-naphthol with arylaldehydes and dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) under solvent-free conditions to afford 12-aryl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthen-11-ones in high yields and relatively short reaction times.

Orthodontic and periodontal splints are prepared with round or flat metallic wires. As these devices cannot be used in patients with allergy to metals or with aesthetic demands, fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) retainers have been introduced. Stiffness of FRC materials could reduce physiologic tooth movement. In order to lower rigidity of conventional FRC retainers, a modified construction tech...

OBJECTIVE To compare the performance and postoperative sensitivity of a posterior resin composite with that of bonded amalgam in 40 (n = 20) large sized cavities and to evaluate whether resin composite could be an alternative for bonded amalgam. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a randomized clinical trial. Twenty patients in need of at least two posterior restorations were recruited. Authors ra...

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O}(n), the Cu(II) ion is bonded to three water mol-ecules, one N,O-bidentate pyridine-2,3-dicarboxyl-ate dianion and one O-bonded symmetry-generated dianion, resulting in a distorted CuNO(5) octa-hedral geometry. The bridging ligand results in an infinite chain. A network of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds helps to establish the crystal structure.

In the title compound, {[Mn(NCS)(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]·2C(4)H(10)O}(n), the Mn(II) ion is coordinated by four N-bonded 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligands and two N-bonded thio-cyanate anions in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The asymmetric unit consists of one Mn(II) ion and two bipy ligands each located on a twofold rotation axis, as well as one thio-cyanate anion and one diethyl e...

PURPOSE To evaluate if bovine enamel and dentin are appropriate substitutes for the respective human hard tooth tissues to test shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 80 sound and caries-free human erupted third molars and 80 freshly extracted bovine permanent central incisors (10 specimens for each group) were used to investigate enamel and dentine adhesion of...

Urea-formaldehyde is one of the commonly used resin types in particleboard industry. In this study, effect nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) addition formulation urea formaldehyde on physical, mechanical, morphological properties samples was investigated. The NFC (0.5% 1%) TiO2 (0.5%, 1%, 2%) were added to 10% adhesive formulation. Two different pressure times, 4 8 min...

OBJECTIVES This study examined the changes in hydraulic conductance and ultrastructure of dentine bonded with simplified etch-and-rinse adhesives to oxalate desensitiser pre-treated acid-etched dentine. METHODS Human dentine disks were acid-etched, treated with an oxalate desensitiser (BisBlock, Bisco), and bonded with One-Step (OS), Single Bond (SB), OptiBond Solo Plus (OB) or Prime and Bond...

The depletion of log resources encourages research into alternative ways to sustain the wood supply. Therefore, 4-year-old Rubber Research Institute Malaysia (RRIM) clones series, RRIM 2020 and 2025, were chosen as potential raw materials for particleboard in this study. purpose study was assess effects planting density rubber tree on mechanical physical properties single-layer particleboard. d...
