Molecules with a sense of logic: a progress report

Abstract: In this tutorial review, the most recent developments in the field of molecular logic and information processing are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the report of progress in the concatenation of molecular logic devices and switches, the design of memory systems working according to the principles of sequential logic, the mimicking of transistors, and the research on photochromic platforms with an unprecedented degree of functional integration. Furthermore, a series of achievements that add up to the c… Show more

“…1 Because of the sharp difference in physical properties 2 such as optical, 3 electrochemical 4 and geometrical features 5 between the two isomers, photochromic compounds can be used to construct a variety of photoswitchable functional materials including fluorescence probes, 6 molecular logic gates, 7 optical data-storage devices 8 and photoresponsive assemblies. 9 Of the photochromic compounds reported, diarylethenes are viewed as one of the most promising candidates for photo-electronic applications due to their outstanding fatigue-resistance, 10 thermal stability 11 and rapid response towards light.…”

“…The OR gate requires a set of nonselective receptors gives a positive optical response upon cation binding. The less selective the receptor, the operationally better OR action [22]. Both cations caused similar conformational changes in the receptor unit.…”

“…18,42 Thus, it is also essential to construct multiplexers and de-multiplexers. 43,44 To demonstrate the applicability of the platform, a conceptual 1-to-2 demultiplexer was fabricated based on the same BPE platform. 1-to-2 demultiplexer can transmit one input signal to two output channels under the control of a selector.…”
