(g,e)-Symmetric Rings

Let R be a ring and e,g in E(R),the set of idempotents of R.Then R is called(g,e)-symmetric if abc=0 implies gacbe=0 for any a,b,c∈R.Clearly,R is an e-symmetric ring if and only if R is a(1,e)-symmetric ring;in particular,R is a symmetric ring if and only if R is a(1,1)-symmetric ring.We show that e∈E(R)is left semicentral if and only if R is a(1−e,e)-symmetric ring;in particular,R is an Abel ring if and only if R is a(1−e,e)-symmetric ring for each e∈E(R).We also show that R is(g,e)-symmetric if and only if ge∈E(R),geRge is symmetric,and gxye=gxeye=gxgye for any x,y∈R.Using e-symmetric rings,we construct some new classes of rings.

Chiral Phenol-2NO Ligand Cooperation with Achiral Organic Base in the Zn(II)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Alkylation Reaction of Indoles

The privileged C_(2)-symmetric rigid phenol-type ligand is more attractive but challenging in asymmetric catalysis.Herein,we designed and synthesized a class of rigid-featured chiral tridentate Phenol-2NO ligands,that incorporate the advantages of both the phenol skeleton and pyrroloimidazolone-based N-oxide moiety,from readily available L-prolinamides in operationally simple two steps and up to 44%overall yield.More importantly,using an achiral quinoline derivative as an additive,the newly developed Phenol-2NO ligand could serve as the anioic ligand upon deprotonative activation to coordinate to Zn(II)to form a highly enantioselective catalyst for the asymmetric Michael-type Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of indoles with 2,3-dioxopyrrolidines.Excellent yields(up to 90%)and high enantioselectivities(up to 99%ee)are obtained for a wide range of substrates under mild conditions.Experiments and DFT calculations revealed the reaction mechanism and the origins of the enantioselectivity.This also represented the first activation of phenol-type ligand/metal complex by an achiral organic base as the additive in asymmetric catalysis.

Dual-Coupled Robust Wireless Power Transfer Based on Parity-Time-symmetric Model

The characteristics of the wireless power transfer(WPT)system vary under different transfer distances.As distance increases,efficiency drops off sharply,limiting the wider use of WPT technology.In order to mitigate this problem,this paper proposes a novel dual-coupled WPT system,where both electric-coupled mechanism and magnetic-coupled mechanism are utilized to enhance the transfer efficiency.Furthermore,a Parity-Time(PT)-symmetric circuit is utilized to realize robustness of the system.The coupled-mode model of the system is established and the expressions of operating frequency,transfer efficiency and output power are deduced.Analysis results indicate that in the unbroken PT-symmetric state,compared with single-coupled systems,the proposed system can keep constant performance within a longer distance;in broken PT-symmetric state,the proposed system has higher transfer efficiency.Simulated results and comparative results are in accordance with the theoretical analysis.Within 1.4m,this scheme can transfer power with constant efficiency of 77%and constant output power of 70W.
