A novel fluorescence sensing 1,8-naphthalimide designed on the "receptor 1-fluorophorespacer-receptor 2 " model is synthesized and investigated. The novel probe comprising aminotriazole and hydroxyphenyl substituents is capable to operate simultaneously via ratiometric ICT and PET signalling mechanism. The synthesized compound shows excellent signalling properties towards protons, hydroxyl anions and Cu 2+ ions. Due to the remarkable fluorescence changes in the presence of these analytes the system is able to act as a two output combinatorial logic circuit with three chemical inputs. Input 3-Disabled XNOR, INHIBIT and IMPLICATION logic gates were obtained. Because of the parallel action of disabled-XNOR and disabled-INHIBIT gates a magnitude digital comparator with disable capability is achievable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
