A multi-addressable diarylethene for the selective detection of Al³⁺ and the construction of a logic circuit

Abstract

A multi-addressable diarylethene was designed and synthesized, which not only acted as a fluorescent sensor for Al3+ with high selectivity, but was also used to construct a combinational logic circuit.

A highly selective and sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for Zn2+based on a diarylethene derivative

“…By combining with Zn 2+ , the C]N isomerization was suppressed, and the increased rigidity of the molecule leaded to chelation enhanced uorescence (CHEF), thereby realizing the uorescence enhancement of complex 1o-Zn 2+ . [44][45][46][47] Noteworthily, because of the inhibition of C]N isomerization, the chelate 1o-Zn 2+ showed prominent uorescence switch performance by UV-Vis light irradiation (Fig. 3b) as compared with the probe 1o (Fig.…”

Novel Diarylethene-Based Fluorescent Switching for the Detection of Al3+ and Construction of Logic Circuit

“…On the other hand, diarylethenes were also widely researched due to the application in numerous optoelectronic devices. 35−37 Many researchers have applied diarylethenes to construct significant electronic logic devices of molecular scale, because the electronic devices are becoming more and more important in our life. 38−42 For instance, Tian et al structured a complex molecular switching, and its four optical outputs respond to four inputs.…”

A multi-addressable terarylene containing benzo­[b]­thiophene-1,1-dioxide (BTO) was synthesized by Zhu and colleagues; at the same time, a sequence of molecular logic gates including 1:2 demultiplexer, half-adder, and so on were built on the unimolecular platform .…”

A Spectral Probe for Detection of Aluminum (III) Ions Using Surface Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

“…For the same reason, several fluorescence-based sensing probes for different metal ions have been developed using organic dyes, however, these sensors showed moderate sensitivity and selectivity toward Al 3+ [ 8 , 9 ]. In order to overcome the limitations of fluorophore-based sensing methods, a recent research has focused on building up highly sensitive methods suitable for analysis of water samples [ 10 , 11 ]. This research work puts effort towards developing highly water-soluble spectrophotometric probe for determination of Al 3+ using casein peptide functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).…”
