  2. Hydrogen bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bond

    In nylon, hydrogen bonds between carbonyl and the amide NH effectively link adjacent chains, which gives the material mechanical strength. Hydrogen bonds also affect the aramid fibre, where hydrogen bonds stabilize the linear chains laterally. The chain axes are aligned along the fibre axis, making the fibres extremely stiff and strong.

  3. Hydrogen-bond catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-bond_catalysis

    Hydrogen-bond catalysis is a type of organocatalysis that relies on use of hydrogen bonding interactions to accelerate and control organic reactions. In biological systems, hydrogen bonding plays a key role in many enzymatic reactions, both in orienting the substrate molecules and lowering barriers to reaction. [ 1 ]

  4. Oxidative addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_addition

    Oxidative additions of nonpolar substrates such as hydrogen and hydrocarbons appear to proceed via concerted pathways. Such substrates lack π-bonds, consequently a three-centered σ complex is invoked, followed by intramolecular ligand bond cleavage of the ligand (probably by donation of electron pair into the sigma* orbital of the inter ligand bond) to form the oxidized complex.

  5. Crystal engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_engineering

    Much of the initial work on purely organic systems focused on the use of hydrogen bonds, although coordination and halogen bonds provide additional control in crystal design. [8] Molecular self-assembly is at the heart of crystal engineering, and it typically involves an interaction between complementary hydrogen bonding faces or a metal and a ...

  6. Hydrogen-bonded organic framework - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen-bonded_organic...

    Hydrogen bonds formed among various monomers guarantee the construction of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks with different assembly architectures. [15] [16] [17] The constitution of the hydrogen pairs is based on the structural and functional design of the HOFs, therefore different hydrogen bonding pairs should be selected following systematic requirements.

    Next, thrust in an inward and upward motion on the diaphragm. This will force air out of the lungs and remove the blockage. Repeat these abdominal thrusts up to five times, the doctor advised.

  8. Hydrogen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_compounds

    By some definitions, "organic" compounds are only required to contain carbon. However, most of them also contain hydrogen, and because it is the carbon-hydrogen bond that gives this class of compounds most of its particular chemical characteristics, carbon-hydrogen bonds are required in some definitions of the word "organic" in chemistry. [12]

    Transitions Executive Director Mac McArthur agreed. “It’s an ideological thing,” he said. “It’s not a medical thing. It’s not a statutory thing. It’s a philosophical position of the people who started the Recovery Kentucky movement,” who, he said, want to prove “that the 12-step works as well as anything else.”
