Highly sensitive fluorescent sensor for Mg2+ and Ca2+ based on a multi-addressable diarylethene†
Abstract
A new photochromic diarylethene bearing an 8-aminoquinoline unit was designed and synthesized. Its multi-addressable behaviors induced by light and chemical stimuli were investigated. It is highly sensitive towards Mg2+ and Ca2+ with fluorescence emission and color changes. Moreover, a combinational logic circuit was constructed with four inputs of the combinational stimuli of light and chemical species, and one output of fluorescence intensity.
