  • To explore its potential in constructing molecular logic gates and information processing devices.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a thiacalix[4]arene derivative functionalized with pyrene groups.
  • Spectroscopic analysis (fluorescence) for ion detection in mixed aqueous media.
  • Investigation of 'in situ' complex formation and selectivity studies.
  • Design and integration of molecular logic gates.

Main Results:

  • The synthesized chemosensor exhibits ratiometric fluorescence response to Ag+ ions.
  • It shows fluorescence quenching in the presence of Fe3+ ions.
  • The Ag+ and Fe3+ complexes demonstrate high selectivity for cysteine detection.
  • Sequential integration of molecular logic gates was achieved, leading to a functional information processing device.

Conclusions:

  • A new thiacalix[4]arene-based chemosensor has been successfully developed.
  • The sensor displays distinct responses to Ag+ and Fe3+, with selective cysteine recognition.
  • The system can be programmed to perform molecular logic operations, paving the way for advanced chemical sensors.
