A novel supramolecular three-input AND logic gate is demonstrated as a 'lab-on-a-molecule' for monitoring the Na(+), pH and pE levels in solution by communicating a fluorescence signal. The fluorescence signal is modulated by three photoinduced electron transfer reactions that are controlled by an unprecedented combination of two cation binding events and one redox reaction.
本文展示了一种新颖的超分子三级输入与门逻辑门,它作为一个“分子上的实验室”,通过传递荧光信号来监测溶液中的 Na(+)、pH 值和 pE 水平。荧光信号通过三个光诱导电子转移反应进行调制,这些反应由两个前所未有的阳离子结合事件和一个氧化还原反应控制。
