OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of two different light sources under different thermal cycle frequencies. METHODS Ninety human premolar teeth were divided into six groups, in which three groups consisted of halogen groups - Group I was cured with halogen without thermocycle, Group II cured with halogen with 500 thermocycles, and Group III cured wi...

Supramolecular gels are topical soft materials involving the reversible formation of fibrous aggregates using non-covalent interactions. There is significant interest in controlling the properties of such materials by the formation of multicomponent systems, which exhibit non-additive properties emerging from interaction of the components. The use of hydrogen bonding to assemble supramolecular ...

The rates of oxidation of ferrocene derivatives by brominated molecules R-Br (CBr3CN, CBr4, CBr3NO2, CBr3COCBr3, CBr3CONH2, CBr3F, and CBr3H) were consistent with the predictions of the outer-sphere dissociative electron-transfer theory. The similar redox-reactions of the R-Br electrophiles with the typical halogen-bond acceptors tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) or iodide were much faster ...

We report a new spectroscopic fingerprint of intermolecular contacts in halogen bond-driven self-assembling aggregates and a precise determination of intermolecular NI distances in microcrystalline samples.

objective: shear bond strength is an important property inherent to the durability of tooth-colored restorative materials namely composite resins. it has been years that halogen light sources have been used for polymerization of composite resins. in recent years light emitting diodes (led) have been introduced for this purpose. with respect to their longer bulb life, needless of a filter and no...

The peptide bond model N-methylacetamide self-assembles with a range of dihalotetrafluorobenzenes forming co-crystals that all show the occurrence of orthogonal hydrogen and halogen bonds.

UV-Vis measurements showed that the interaction of pseudohalide anions, A(-) (A(-) = N3(-), NCO(-), NCS(-)), with electrophilic bromocarbons, R-Br (R-Br = CBr4, CBr3NO2, CBr3CONH2, CBr3H, CBr3F, CBr3CN or C3Br2F6), in solution results in formation of [R-Br, A(-)] complexes. These associates are characterized by intense absorption bands in the 200-350 nm range showing distinct Mulliken correlati...

Trends in the properties of normal valent and multivalent halogen-oxygen bonding are examined for the isomers of the halogen polyoxide families of the types (YXO2) and (YXO3), Y = Cl, Br, I, H, CH(3), X = Cl, Br, I. A qualitative model is formulated on the relationship between the X-O bond distance variations, the ionic character of the bonding, and the degree of halogen valence. The relative s...
