Supramolecular fluorescent probes for the detection of mixed alkali metal ions that mimic the function of integrated logic gates

Abstract

Two fluorescent probes 1 and 2 are developed that are capable of measuring two different metal ions under basic and acidic conditions, respectively. These probes contain a fluorophore, whose two forms are interconvertible in acidic and basic solutions and have the potential to measure the concentration of each metal ion in a mixture of caesium–potassium or sodium–potassium ions, respectively. Probe molecules 1 and 2 can also be portrayed as logic gates that function as a combination of one AND and one INHIBIT gate.
