azulene/dental caries

Dental caries is a multi factorial disease that starts with microbiological shifts affected by salivary flow, composition, exposure to fluoride, consumption of dietary sugars, and preventive behaviours. The Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is an initiator of caries because there

The inclusion of azulene (AZ) inside the cavities of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) was studied using absorption, fluorescence and induced-circular dichroism spectroscopy. The inclusion of AZ into the cavity of beta-CD has a stoichiometry of 1:1, whereas that of

A pulsed laser-induced plasma (LIP) was generated in ambient air inside a high-finesse (F≈ 5200) near-concentric optical cavity. The optical plasma emission was successfully trapped and sustained by the cavity, manifested by ring-down times in excess of 4 μs indicating effective mirror

The emission from a laser-induced plasma in ambient air, generated by a high power femtosecond laser, was utilized as pulsed incoherent broadband light source in the center of a quasi-confocal high finesse cavity. The time dependent spectra of the light leaking from the cavity was compared with

We introduce a simple scheme to efficiently compute photon exchange-correlation contributions due to the coupling to transversal photons as formulated in the newly developed quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT).1-5 Our construction employs the optimized-effective potential

Rhodium dinuclear complexes (1-3) with azulene moieties as equatorial ligands were obtained by reacting Rh₂ (OAc)₄ with guaiazulene-2-carboxylic acid, azulene-2-carboxylic acid, and azulene-1-carboxylic acid, respectively. The molecular structures in their crystalline states

Large aromatic carbon nanostructures are cornerstone materials due to their increasingly active role in functional devices, but their synthesis in solution encounters size and shape limitations. New on-surface strategies facilitate the synthesis of large and insoluble planar systems with

In the title inclusion compound, C(26)H(26)N(4)O(6)·C(2)H(4)Cl(2), the solvent mol-ecule occupies a cavity inside the clip-type mol-ecule which is based on the glycoluril skeleton with two ethyl acetate substituents on the convex face of the glycoluril system. The dihedral angle between the aromatic

Four azuliporphyrins, two meso-unsubstituted and two meso-tetraaryl substituted, were investigated in the synthesis of novel organometallic compounds. The meso-unsubstituted or "etio" series azuliporphyrins 8 reacted with nickel(II) acetate, palladium(II) acetate, and platinum(II) chloride in DMF to

Chemical oxidation and oxygenation of carbonyl ruthenium(II) azuliporphyrin [Ru(TPAP)(CO)] were explored. [Ru(TPAP)(CO)] reacts with dioxygen giving carbonyl ruthenium(II) 21-oxyazuliporphyrin [Ru(TPAP-O)(CO)] revealing the activation the Ru-C bond inside azuliporphyrin coordination cavity. Solution

Novel ternary assemblies consisting of fully encapsulated host-guest complexes (hemicarceplexes) and wide band gap semiconductor nanoparticles were investigated. The water-soluble amphiphilic host (octacarboxyhemicarcerand) traps the hydrophobic chromophore within its cavity and binds to the surface

5,10,15,20-Tetraaryl-23-thiaazuliporphyrin (SAz) was synthesized starting from nonfunctionalized azulene using a "1 + 3" method to be applied as a monoanionic macrocyclic ligand that provides a peculiar [CNSN] coordination cavity. An insertion of palladium(II) afforded the cationic [Pd(II)(SAz)](+),
