A Molecular Keypad Lock Based on the Thiacalix[4]arene of 1,3-Alternate Conformation

Abstract: A chemosensor based on the thiacalix[4]arene of 1,3-alternate conformation has been designed and synthesized. The binding behavior of this chemosensor has been studied toward different metal ions by fluorescence spectroscopy, and it was observed that the chemosensor selectively senses Cu(2+) ions. The chemical inputs of Cu(2+) and F(-) in a sequential manner generate an output which mimics the functions of a security keypad lock.

“…Organosensors, through reversible interactions, present an avenue into various applications such as resettable logic gate systems [28][29][30][31], molecular security devices [32,33], micellar devices [34,35], dual sensors [36,37], corrosion inhibitors [38], fabrication of materials and polymers, etc. [39,40].…”

“…We have concentrated on molecular logic gate arrays and not the simpler gates themselves, about which much has been written. [149][150][151][152][153] Molecular gate arrays with sequential logic, for example, keypad locks, [154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165] flip-flops, [166] and flipflap-flops [143] have not been featured in this review either, as this topic has been addressed recently. [167] The field of molecular logic and computation appears to be in good health, especially regarding the understanding of chemical situations in terms of computer science principles.…”

“…The latter are macroscopic analytical devices that, similar to the way the olfactory system operates, can interact non‐specifically with a wide range of analytes and discriminate among them by creating a wide range of unique identification patterns . Hence, the main difference between 8 and the molecular keypad locks discussed before is that instead of generating a single digital output (0 or 1) for each code entry, it associates each password with a unique emission “signature” that enables it to authorize multiple users.…”
