Proton transfer network with luminescence display controls OFF/ON catalysis that generates a high-speed slider-on-deck†
Abstract
A three-component network for OFF/ON catalysis was built from a protonated nanoswitch and a luminophore. Its activation by addition of silver(I) triggered the proton-catalyzed formation of a biped and the assembly of a fast slider-on-deck (k298 = 540 kHz).
