title: The metal oxide/eugenol cements. I. The chelating power of the eugenol type molecule.
abstract: The chelating power of the orthomethoxy phenolic (guaiacyl) group is fundamental to the accepted setting reaction of the metal oxide/eugenol cements. In this report, the chelating power is quantitatively described by the sequence of beta2 for the chelates of the relevant metal ions.
