An All-Photonic Molecule-Based D Flip-Flop

Abstract: The photochromic fluorescence switching of a fulgimide derivative was used to implement the first molecule-based D (delay) flip-flop device, which works based on the principles of sequential logic. The device operates exclusively with photonic signals and can be conveniently switched in repeated cycles.

“…Derived from these competition, the emergence of molecular logic gates, emerged to finely tune the 1 O 2 generation. Molecular logic gates, as a promising strategy,83 was rarely applied to PDT. Combining molecular logic gates with PDT, Akkaya et al84 reported a controllable and self‐reporting PDT, realized by series logic gate.…”

“…9). [48] The fulgimide exists as E or Z configu ration in its open form (11oE or 11oZ), both of which are photoequilibrated by UV light irradiation. The closed colored form (λ max = 523 nm) 11c is formed from 11oE in a 6π electrocyclic reaction that is triggered by UV light.…”

“…using acid/base chemistry) has been known for a long time, it was not until the demonstration of the molecular AND gate (1; see structure in Scheme 1) by de Silva and co-workers in 1993 that the behavior was interpreted in terms of Boolean logic. [1] Since then, all existing 2-input logic gates have been realized on the molecular scale, as have a large variety of more complex devices [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] such as adders and subtractors, [9,12,13] multiplexers/demultiplexers, [14][15][16][17] encoders/decoders, [18,19] keypad locks, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] latches/flip-flops, [10,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] and multivalued logic devices. [35,36] The initial impetus for conducting research in molecular logic has been to make molecules imitate the functions of silicon circuitry, the main objectives being miniaturization (via a bottom-up approach) and implications thereof, such as minimal power consumption.…”
