In the presence of a catalyst, monomer inserts into these chain ends between the silyl group and the last monomer unit. The process is illustrated by equation (1) for methyl methacrylate. GTP is a living polymerization, i. e., there is little or no chain termination and no chain transfer. A significant advantage of GTP is that it展开更多

The structure of ABAN was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13 C NMR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The ABAN is of orthorhombic system, space group P212121, with a = 8.6100(14), b = 9.6923(16), c = 15.705(3) , Mr = 299.17, V = 1310.6(4) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.516 g/cm-3, μ = 3.119 mm-1, F(000) = 600, Rint = 0.038, R(I 〉 2σ(I)) = 0.0276, w R(I 〉 2σ(I)) = 0.0628, R(all data) = 0.0324, wR(all data) = 0.0646, completeness to theta = 25.00 was 99.8% and GOOF = 1.04. In the crystal structure, ABAN molecules were linked with each other through intermolecular C–H···π interactions and N–H···N hydrogen bonds, by which the 1D chain, 2D plane and 3D stacking structures were constructed. The photophysical properties and calculation results confirmed that ABAN possessed an intramolecular charge transfer(ICT) process. ABAN could be applied into the optoelectronic material field due to good solvent-tuned photophysical properties and highly thermal stability.展开更多

The crystal structure has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 5.8890(2), b = 11.0512(4), c = 10.8951(4)A, β =103.200(4)°, V = 690.32(4) A^3, Z = 4, F(000) = 672, ρc = 3.467 g/cm^3, Mr = 360.38 and μ = 5.215mm^-1. Its structure feature is a three-dimensional framework composed of SbO6 octahedra and isolated [B3O8]^7- groups with K+ cations residing in the one-dimensional tunnels along the a-axis.Interestingly, the isolated [B3O8]^7- groups are distinct from the known [B3O8]^7- groups, which always connect to each other. The UV-vis-NIR absorption, thermal stability and infrared spectrum are also discussed in this paper.展开更多

The chemical formula of the sample is Ce4Fe2Ti3Si4O22. The crystals are monoclinic with the unit cell parameters a = 13.4656(15) ?, b = 5.7356(6) ?, c = 11.0977(12) ?, β= 100.636(2)o, V = 842.39 (16) ?3 and Z = 2. The structures of Ti- and Fe2+-rich chevkinite-(Ce) were refined with space groups P21/a and C2/m. Least-squares refinement results show that both structural models of Ti- and Fe2+-rich chevkinite-(Ce) are very good, R[F2>2σ(F2)] =0.027 with P21/a and R[F2>2σ(F2)] =0.021 with C2/m. In order to illustrate the relationship between the two space groups P21/a and C2/m, the distribution of diffraction intensities was inspected. Pseudo extinction was found, i.e., reflections with h+k=2n are systematically strong, while those with h+k=2n+1 are weak. By neglecting the systematically weak (h+k=2n+1) reflections the space group becomes C2/m. There is a mirror plane in the C2/m perpendicular to the b axis. However, oxygen atoms in the P21/a model are of a symmetrical relationship with the corresponding pseudo mirror plane. It is concluded that the crystal structure of non-metamict Ti- and Fe2+-rich chevkinite-(Ce) is a superstructure with the space group of P21/a, which is of pseudo symmetry corresponding to the space group C2/m.展开更多

We write cd(G) and cs(G) to denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees and conjugacy class sizes of G , respectively, and write π(m)to denote the set of all prime divisors of a positive integer m . For any 1≠m∈cd(G) and 1≠m∈cs(G), in this note, we shall present the corresponding group structures of finite group G in the case π(m)=π , respectively, which generalizes the result of finite groups with character degrees of two distinct primes.

However, sequence alignment is often not accurate if sequence identities between to-be-aligned se- quences are less than 30%. This is because that for these sequences, different residues may play similar structural roles and they are incorrectly aligned during the sequence alignment using substitu- tion matrix consisting of 20 types of residues. Based on the similarity of physicochemical features, residues can be clustered into a few groups. Using such simplified alphabets, the complexity of protein sequences is reduced and at the same time the key information encoded in the sequences remains. As a result, the accuracy of sequence alignment might be improved if the residues are properly clustered. Here, by using a database of aligned protein structures (DAPS), a new clustering method based on the substitution scores is proposed for the grouping of residues, and substitution matrices of residues at different levels of simplification are constructed. The validity of the reduced alphabets is confirmed by relative entropy analysis. The reduced alphabets are applied to recognition of protein structurally conserved/similar regions by sequence alignment. The results indicate that the accuracy or efficiency of sequence alignment can be improved with the optimal reduced alphabet with N around 9.展开更多
