Abstract Meroterpenoids isolated from fungi of the Ganoderma family have received much attention owing to their unique structures and diverse biological activities. A number meroterpenoids been since 2000 many total syntheses synthetic studies reported. In this review, we highlight fifteen conducted 2014 2023 polycyclic classified according connection pattern dihydroquinone with terpenoid structure. The selected illustrate how molecular complexity was constructed by tactics.
Spectroscopic properties of Er3+ in Ga2S3–GeS2–La2S3 glasses are investigated on the basis spontaneous emission probabilities calculated by use Judd–Ofelt theory and lifetime data. Frequency upconversion spectra also measured with excitation at 800 980 nm. The much larger than those other glass systems such as oxides fluorides. This is mainly attributed to large refractive indices sulfide glasses. quantum efficiencies I11/24 F9/24 levels comparable or typical values a fluoride glass....
To gain insight into the unconventional superconductivity of Fe pnictides with no electron pockets, we measure thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ and penetration depth $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ in heavily hole-doped regime Ba${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$K${}_{x}$Fe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$.

Molecular dynamics simulation was performed on barium meta-fluorozirconate, BaZrF6, glass by using the Born–Mayer–Huggins pair potential. The cumulative F coordination numbers and correlation functions of Zr Ba ions revealed that, in simulated BaZrF6 glass, number mean distance nearest neighboring were about eight at 2.12 Å for ten 2.75 ions. This is consistent with previous x-ray diffraction result glass. A little uncertainty number, however, may admit presence small amounts seven...
Optical properties of Er3+ -doped fluoride glasses in the pseudoternary systems MFn–BaF2–YF3, where M is Zr, Hf, Al, Sc, Ga, In, or Zn, were investigated, and variation local structure was discussed. Of three Judd–Ofelt Ωt parameters (t = 2, 4, 6) that dominate f–f transition probabilities ions, Ω2 increased as cationic field strength network-forming Mn+ ions increased.
