It is a well-known fact that characters of a finite group can give important information about the group's structure. Also it was proved by the third author of this article that a finite simple group can be uniquely determined by its character table. Here the authors attempt to investigate how to characterize a finite almost simple group by using less information of its character table, and successfully characterize the almost simple K3-groups by their orders and at most three irreducible character degrees of their character tables. 相似文献
Four complexes with supramolecular architectures, namely, MZCA · 3H2O ( 1 ), [Zn(H2O)6]2+ · [MZCA]2 · [H2O]6 ( 2 ), [Mn(MZCA)2(H2O)4] · 2H2O ( 3 ), and [Ni(MZCA)2(H2O)4] · 2H2O ( 4 ) [MZCA = 3‐(carboxymethyl)‐2, 7‐dimethyl‐3H‐benzo[d]imidazole‐5‐carboxylic acid], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 display a remarkable 3D network with 1D hydrophilic channels. Complexes 3 and 4 are isostructural and exhibit a 3D structure encapsulating 1D 24‐membered ring microporous channels. The UV/Vis and fluorescent spectra were measured to characterize complexes 1 – 4 . The thermal stability of complexes 2 – 4 were also examined. 相似文献
Under open-flask conditions, an efficient method to assemble a series of diversely functionalized diarylketones in the presence of commercially available NBS has been developed. Yields of up to 99% have been achieved employing diarylmethanes as starting material. Based on 18O-labeled experiment, the addition of stoichiometric water eventually leads to excellent yields in all carbonylation cases. 相似文献
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are highly hepatotoxic natural chemicals that produce irreversible chronic and acute hepatotoxic effects on human beings. Purification of large amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids is necessary for toxicity studies. In this study, an efficient method for targeted analysis and purification of pyrrolizidine alkaloid cis/trans isomers from herbal materials was developed for the first time. Targeted analysis of the hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids was performed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (precursor ion scan and daughter ion scan), and the purification of pyrrolizidine alkaloids was achieved with a mass‐directed auto purification system. The extraction and preparative liquid chromatography conditions were optimized. The developed method was applied to analysis of Gynura japonica (Thunb.) Juel., a herbal medicine traditionally used for detumescence and relieving pain but is potentially hepatotoxic as it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Twelve pyrrolizidine alkaloids (six cis/trans isomer pairs) were identified with reference compounds or characterized by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, and five individual pyrrolizidine alkaloids, including (E)‐seneciphylline, seneciphylline, integerrimine, senecionine, and seneciphyllinine, were prepared from G. japonica roots with high efficiency. The results of this work provide a new technique for the preparation of large amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloid reference substances, which will also benefit toxicological studies of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and treatments for pyrrolizidine alkaloid‐induced toxicity. 相似文献
The metabolic investigation of natural products is a great challenge because of unpredictable metabolic pathways, little knowledge on metabolic effects, and lack of recommended analytical methodology. Herein, a combined strategy based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation was developed and employed for the human metabolism study of gentiopicroside (GPS), a naturally hepato-protective iridoid glycoside. The whole metabolic study consisted of three major procedures. First, an improved UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS method was used to separate and detect a total of 15 GPS metabolites that were obtained from urine samples (0 to 72 h) of 12 healthy male participants after a single 50-mg oral dose of GPS. Second, a developed “MS-NMR-MS” method was applied to accurately identify molecular structures of the observed metabolites. Finally, given that the associated stereochemistry may be a crucial factor of the metabolic activation, the absolute configuration of the reactive metabolites was revealed through chemical calculations. Based on the combined use, a pair of diastereoisomers (G05 and G06) were experimentally addressed as the bioreactive metabolites of GPS, and the stereochemical determination was completed. Whereas several novel metabolic transformations, occurring via oxidation, N-heterocyclization and glucuronidation after deglycosylation, were also observed. The results indicated that GPS has to undergo in vivo metabolism-based activation to generate reactive molecules capable of processing its hepato-protective activity.

Conventional optics is diffraction limited due to the cutoff of spatial frequency components, and evanescent waves allow subdiffraction optics at the cost of complex near‐field manipulation. Recently, optical superoscillatory phenomena were employed to realize superresolution lenses in the far field, but suffering from very narrow working wavelength band due to the fragility of the superoscillatory light field. Here, an ultrabroadband superoscillatory lens (UBSOL) is proposed and realized by utilizing the metasurface‐assisted law of refraction and reflection in arrayed nanorectangular apertures with variant orientations. The ultrabroadband feature mainly arises from the nearly dispersionless phase profile of transmitted light through the UBSOL for opposite circulation polarization with respect to the incident light. It is demonstrated in experiments that subdiffraction light focusing behavior holds well with nearly unchanged focal patterns for wavelengths spanning across visible and near‐infrared light. This method is believed to find promising applications in superresolution microscopes or telescopes, high‐density optical data storage, etc.
