Luminescent molecular logic gates: the two-input inhibit (INH) function
Abstract
The Tb(III) complex 3, is the first example of a molecular logic gate corresponding to a two-input INHIBIT function, A ⁁ B′ where the ‘output’, a sharp, line-like, terbium emission, is only observed with two chemical inputs (i) the presence of protons and (ii) the absence of molecular oxygen.
