The metal oxide/eugenol cements. I. The chelating power of the eugenol type molecule.
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.
