Molecular logic operations from complex coacervation with aggregation-induced emission characteristics

Abstract

Leveraging complex coacervation of a polycation and a bivalent anion with aggregation-induced emission characteristics, we accomplish eight basic logic operations with environmental stimuli as inputs, producing Boolean-like fluorescence intensity or turbidity ‘outputs’ with contrast higher than one order of magnitude. Storage of information of a fluorescent pattern and thermo-sensor applications are also demonstrated.
