Low Mach number limit of global solutions to 3‐D compressible nematic liquid crystal flows with Dirichlet boundary condition

In this paper, we consider the uniform estimates of strong solutions in the Mach number ? and t ∈ [0,∞) for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in a 3‐D bounded domain , provided the initial data are small enough and the density is close to the constant state. Here, we consider the case that the velocity field satisfies the Dirichlet boundary condition. Based on the uniform estimates, we obtain the global convergence of the compressible nematic liquid crystal system to the incompressible nematic liquid crystals system as the Mach number tends to zero.

NIR-II Fluorescent Brightness Promoted by “Ring Fusion” for the Detection of Intestinal Inflammation

Fluorophores with emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) have displayed salient advantages for biomedical applications. However, the common strategy of reducing the energy bandgap of fluorophores so as to achieve red-shifted wavelengths always leads to compromised fluorescent brightness. Herein, we propose a molecular design concept of “ring-fusion” to modify the acceptor of AIEgen that can extend the luminous wavelength from NIR-I to NIR-II. The fused-acceptor-containing fluorophore yielded, TTQP, has an enhanced absorption coefficient with a higher brightness in nanoparticle formation compared to its NIR-I emissive counterpart (TTQ-DP) with a non-fused acceptor. Theoretical calculation further confirms that the ring fusion can efficiently promote the rigidity and planarity of the electron-deficient core, leading to a lower reorganization energy and nonradiative decay. The TTQP NPs yielded thus allow sensitive NIR-II fluorescence imaging of vasculature and intestinal inflammation in mice models. Therefore, we anticipate that our work will provide a promising molecular-engineering strategy to enrich the library and broaden the application scope of NIR-II fluorophores.     

S-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzothioate (TFBT): A KF-Based Reagent for Nucleophilic Trifluoromethylthiolation

S-(Trifluoromethyl)benzothioate (TFBT) has been developed as an inexpensive, bench-stable, and user-friendly trifluoromethylthiolation reagent, which can be easily synthesized by using KF as the only fluorine source. By using TFBT, trifluoromethylthiolates with various counterions can be readily obtained. The synthetic application of TFBT was demonstrated by trifluoromethylthiolation-halogenation of arynes, bis(trifluoromethylthiolation)–halogenation of 1,2-benzdiynes, nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides, deoxytrifluoromethylthiolation of alcohols, and cross-coupling with aryl and vinyl boronic acids.
