A novel multifunctional logic gate based on a triple-chromophore (coumarin–NBD–flavylium, CNF) fluorescent biothiol probe with diverse fluorescence signal patterns was rationally designed and synthetized. On the new triad CNF, diverse logic operations such as OR, TRANSFER, INH, NOT, and YES logic gates were achieved by using biothiols and fluorescence signal patterns as the multiple inputs and outputs, respectively.
