A lab-on-a-molecule with an enhanced fluorescent readout on detection of three chemical species

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Apr 23;55(34):4961-4964. doi: 10.1039/c9cc00924h.

Abstract

A molecular three-input AND logic gate with a naphthalimide fluorophore communicates the presence of a congregation of three biologically relevant cations in aqueous methanol with a 25-fold fluorescence enhancement and ΦFmax of 0.203.
