The hydrogen-bonding interactions between thioacetamide (TA) and urea derivatives such as tetramethylurea (TMU) and dimethyldiphenylurea (DMDPU) have been studied using near-infrared absorption spectroscopy. Thermodynamic parameters for the interactions between TA and urea derivatives were determined by analyzing the $v^{as}_{N-H}$+Amide Ⅱ combination band of TA at 1970 nm. The ΔH° values, indicating the intrinsic strength of hydrogen bonding, are - 23.0 kJ/mole and - 19.8 kJ/mol for TMU and DMDPU, respectively. This is well explained by the inductive effects of substituents. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations for the proton affinity of TMU, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) in gas phase have been carried out at HF/3-21G ad HF/6-31G(d) levels, showing that the proton affinity of TMU is larger than that of DMA, which agrees well the experimental results.

The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method has been carried out to investigate the excitedstate hydrogen-bonding dynamics of phenol-$(H_2O)_2$ complex. The geometric structures and infrared (IR) spectra in ground state and different electronically excited states ($S_1$ and $T_1$) of the hydrogen-bonded complex have been calculated using the density functional theory (DFT) and TDDFT method. A ring of three hydrogen bonds is formed between phenol and two water molecules. We have demonstrated that the intermolecular hydrogen bond $O_1-H_2{\cdots}O_3-H$ of the three hydrogen bonds is strengthened in $S_1$ and $T_1$ states. In contrast, the hydrogen bond $O_5-H_6{\cdots}O_1-H$ is weakened in $S_1$ and $T_1$ states. These results are obtained by theoretically monitoring the changes of the bond lengths of the hydrogen bonds and hydrogen-bonding groups in different electronic states. The hydrogen bond $O_1-H_2{\cdots}O_3-H$ strengthening in both the $S_1$ and $T_1$ states is confirmed by the calculated stretching vibrational mode of O-H (phenol) being red-shifted upon photoexcitation. The hydrogen bond strengthening and weakening behavior in electronically excited states may exist in other ring structures of phenol-$(H_2O)_n$.

Objective: Bonding forces of brackets to enamel surfaces may be affected by the procedures used for bleaching and enamel etching. The aim of this study was to investigate the bonding strength of orthodontic brackets to laser-etched surfaces of bleached teeth. Methods: In a nonbleached control group, acid etching (group A) or Er:YAG laser application (group B) was performed prior to bracket bonding (n = 13 in each group). Similar surface treatments were performed at 1 day (groups C and D; n = 13 in each subgroup) or at 3 weeks (groups E and F; n = 13 in each subgroup) after 38% hydrogen peroxide bleaching in another set of teeth. The specimens were debonded after thermocycling. Results: Laser etching of bleached teeth resulted in clinically unacceptable low bonding strength. In the case of acid-etched teeth, waiting for 3 weeks before attachment of brackets to the bleached surfaces resulted in similar, but not identical, bond strength values as those obtained with nonbleached surfaces. However, in the laser-etched groups, the bonding strength after 3 weeks was the same as that for the nonbleached group. Conclusions: When teeth bleached with 38% hydrogen peroxide are meant to be bonded immediately, acid etching is preferable.

The hydrogenation of $AlB_2$-type BaGaGe exhibits a metal to insulator (MI) transition, inducing a puckering distortion of the original hexagonal [GaGe] layers. We investigate the electronic structure changes associated with the hydrogen-induced MI transition, using extended H$\ddot{u}$ckel tight-binding band calculations. The results indicate that hydrogen incorporation in the precursor BaGaGe is characterized by an antibonding interaction of $\pi$ on GaGe with hydrogen 1s and the second-order mixing of the singly occupied antibonding $\pi^*$ orbital into it, through Ga-H bond formation. As a result, the fully occupied bonding $\pi$ band in BaGaGe changes to a weakly dispersive band with Ge pz (lone pair) character in the hydride, which becomes located just below the Fermi level. The Ga-Ge bonds within a layered polyanion are slightly weakened by hydrogen incorporation. A rationale for this is given.

2-Fluorocyclopropanemethanol and 2-chlorocyclopropanemethanol have been studied with MP2 and B3LYP methods with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized structures show several stable conformers. The most stable conformer show the possibility of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, but the distance between $H{\cdots}F$, or $H{\cdots}Cl$ is longer than van der Waals radii and it may not be strong covalent bonding. Rather the second stable conformer has optimum structure for intramolecular hydrogen bonding but the energy of the conformer is 5 ~ 7 kJ higher than the most stable conformer. When the methanol group and the F or Cl atom have opposite direction, the conformers are less stable than the most stable conformer.

The $ν_a+amide II$ combination band of thiopropionamide has been recorded for investigation of Hydrogen bonding between thiopropionamide (TPA) and N,N-dimethylalkylamide (DMF, DMA and DMP) in carbon tetrachloride over the range of $5^{\circ}$ to $55^{\circ}$. The combination band of monomeric TPA and hydrogen-bonded TPA can be resolved by Lorentzian-Gaussian product function into monomeric TPA and hydrogen-bonded TPA with amides. The association constants ($K_1$) for the hydrogen-bonded TPA were calculated by the concentrations of the monomeric TPA and the hydrogen-bonded TPA obtained from the computer resolved absorption bands. Thermodynamic parameters for the Hydrogen bonding have been evaluated by the analysis of the temperature dependent spectra. The ${\Delta}$$H^{\circ}$ of hydrogen-bonded TPA with DMF, DMA and DMP have been found to be-12.5, -13.5 and -14.1 kJ/mol, respectively. The corresponding ${\Delta}$$S^{\circ}$for the above system were -15.2, -17.9 and -22.3 J/mol${\cdot}$deg, respectively.

Two conformations of benzoic acid derivatives ($NH_2$, OH, H, F, Cl, CN, NO, $NO_2$) have been investigated at MP2, DFT and HF level using the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. It was found that the cis isomers are more stable. Hydrogen bonding formation of benzoic acids has been estimated from stabilization energies. The calculated hydrogen-bonding energies of dimers showed a cooperative interaction in the cyclic ones. It was found that an electron-releasing group (ERG) into the phenyl rings resulted in the formation of more stable hydrogen bonding. Red shift of O-H bond was found from -565.3 to -589.3 for dimers. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was applied to characterize nature of the interaction.

The component polymer was modified to enable the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the immiscibile polystyrene(PS)/polymethacrylate(PMA) blends. The mole percentages of hydroxystyrene of the poly(styrene-co-4-hydroxystyrene) copolymer(modified polystyrene, MPS) were controlled to 7%, 10% and 18%, respectively. MPS was used with PMA to study the variation of the miscibility in blends. PMA which had such different length of side chain as methyl, butyl, hexyl and ethylhexyl, respectively, was selected to study the effect of side chain length on the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. As the hydroxyl content of MPS increased, the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding increased. The length of side chain of PMA had enormous effect on the miscibility of blend as confirmed from the result of cloud point measurement. As the length of side chain increased, the formation and the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonding decreased severely due to the steric effect and the increased chain mobility.

Three-dimensional network hydrogels were prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and glycerol (Gly). Oven-drying was used to measure the gel fraction (G), hydration (H) or swelling behavior (S) of the prepared hydrogels. This study made a hypothesis that hydrogen bonds due to addition of glycerol and change of dry states such as freeze-drying (FD), room-drying (RD) and oven-drying (OD) acts on the G, H, and S. Interesting results on the hydrogen bonding effect in the prepared hydrogels are monitored at different drying conditions. The FD samples have a higher G values with increase in glycerol content as compared with the OD and RD samples. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding network among Gly molecules and hydrogel matrix was considered as the main driving force, resulting in the changes in the G, H, and S of the hydrogels under different drying conditions.

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were deposited on the Si (100) wafer by a rf-PECVD method as a function of the mixture rate of methane-hydrogen gas and bias voltage. The bonding structure and mechanical properties of these deposited DLC films were investigated using FT-IR, Raman, and nano-indenter. The deposition rates of DLC films increased with increased flow rate of methane in the gas mixtures and increased bias voltage. The $sp^3/sp^2$ bonding ratio of carbon in thin film and the hardness increased with increasing flow rate of hydrogen in the gas mixtures and increasing bias voltage.
