Even Pairs

Sr2RuO4 and Fe-pnictide superconductors belong to the same point group symmetry D4h. Many experimental data confirm odd pairs in Sr2RuO4 and even pairs in Fe-pnictides, but opposite conclusions also exist. Recent NMR results of Pustogow et al., which revealed even Cooper pairs in Sr2RuO4, require reconsideration of symmetry treatment of its SOP (superconducting order parameter). In the present work making use of the Mackey–Bradley theorem on symmetrized squares, a group theoretical investigation of possible pairing states in D4h symmetry is performed. It is obtained for I4/mmm , i.e., space group of Sr2RuO4, that triplet pairs with even spatial parts are possible in kz direction and in points M and Y. For the two latter cases pairing of equivalent electrons with nonzero total momentum is proposed. In P4/nmm space group of Fe- pnictides in point M, even and odd pairs are possible for singlet and triplet cases. It it shown that even and odd chiral states with angular momentum projection m=±1 have nodes in vertical planes, but Eg is nodal , whereas Eu is nodeless in the basal plane. It is also shown that the widely accepted assertion that the parity of angular momentum value is directly connected with the spatial parity of a pair is not valid in a space-group approach to the wavefunction of a Cooper pair.

Explicit Expressions

A symmetry-adapted version of the Maxwell rule appropriate to periodic bar-and-joint frameworks is obtained, and is further extended to body-and-joint systems. The treatment deals with bodies and forces that are replicated in every unit cell, and uses the point group isomorphic to the factor group of the space group of the framework. Explicit expressions are found for the numbers and symmetries of detectable mechanisms and states of self-stress in terms of the numbers and symmetries of framework components. This approach allows detection and characterization of mechanisms and states of self-stress in microscopic and macroscopic materials and meta-materials. Illustrative examples are described. The notion of local isostaticity of periodic frameworks is extended to include point-group symmetry.

The title compounds, (9-fluoro-4H-chromeno[4,3-c]isoxazol-3-yl)methanol, C11H8FNO3, (I), and (9-chloro-4H-chromeno[4,3-c]isoxazol-3-yl)methanol, C11H8ClNO3, (II), crystallize in the orthorhombic space groupPbcawithZ′ = 1 and the triclinic space groupP\overline{1} withZ′ = 6, respectively. The simple replacement of F by Cl in the main molecular scaffold of (I) and (II) results in significant differences in the intermolecular interaction patterns and a corresponding change in the point-group symmetry fromD2htoCi=S2. These striking differences are manifested through the presence of C—H...F and the absence of O—H...O and C—H...O interactions in (I), and the absence of C—H...Cl and the presence of O—H...O and C—H...O interactions in (II). However, the geometry of the synthons formed by the O—H...N and O—H...X(X= F or Cl) interactions observed in the constitution of the supramolecular networks of both (I) and (II) remains similar. Also, C—H...O interactions are not preferred in the presence of F in (I), while they are much preferred in the presence of Cl in (II).

The catabolic ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCase) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits allosteric behaviour, with two conformational states of the molecule: an active R form and an inactive T form. The enzyme is a dodecamer with a molecular mass of 455700 Da. Three crystal forms have been obtained. Crystals of allosteric state T are rhombohedral, belonging to the R3 space group, with hexagonal unit-cell parameters a = b = 180.6, c = 122.0 Å. They diffract to a resolution of 4.5 Å. Two crystal forms for allosteric state R have been obtained, with hexagonal and cubic symmetries. Hexagonal crystals, which diffract to a resolution of 3.4 Å, belong to the space group P63 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 140.8, c = 145.6 Å. The cubic crystals belong to space group I23, with unit-cell parameter a = 134.32 Å and diffract to a resolution better than 2.5 Å. In all crystal forms, the dodecamer exhibits a 23 point-group symmetry.

And Performance

Symmetry widely exists in natural objects and man-made objects. Mechanical structures, as man-made objects, have the property of symmetry without exception. The existence of symmetry affects the function and performance of mechanical products. Therefore, on the basis of analyzing a large number of examples and referring to the Schoenflies symbol of crystal, the symmetry of mechanical structures is divided into point group symmetry and space group symmetry, and these two types are further subdivided according to the types and spatial positions of the symmetry elements. Then, the general effects of symmetry are summarized according to symmetry types and functions, and several symmetry rules for design are further refined. Finally, after defining the requirements of speed change and technology background, a multispeed device for bicycle shaft drive is proposed by applying symmetry knowledge comprehensively.

Abstract The structure of the title com pound 5 has been investigated by X-ray crystallography in order to discern between two structural alternatives. 5 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, and almost planar B-B bonded dioxaborolane rings are present in the molecule. 5 possesses a crystallographically imposed center of inversion, and approaches the point group symmetry D2h-

We show here that the phenomenon of spontaneous resolution of enantiomers occurs during the crystallization of the sodium and rubidium double salts of the transition metal complex tris(oxalato)ferrate(III), namely sodium pentarubidium bis[tris(oxalato)ferrate(III)], NaRb5[Fe(C2O4)3]2. One enantiomer of the salt crystallizes in the cubic space groupP4332 withZ= 4 and a Flack absolute structure parameterx= −0.01 (1) and its chiral counterpart in the space groupP4132 withx= −0.00 (1). All metal ions are at crystallographic special positions: the iron(III) ion is on a threefold axis, coordinated by three oxalate dianions in a propeller-like conformation. One of the two independent rubidium ions is on a twofold axis in an eightfold coordination with neighbouring oxalate oxygen atoms, and the other one on a threefold axis in a sixfold RbO6coordination. The sodium ion is at a site ofD3point group symmetry in a trigonal–antiprismatic NaO6coordination.
