Luminescent Hybrid Membrane-Based Logic Device: From Enantioselective Discrimination to Read-Only Memory for...

Logic circuit device and molecular computer are idealized binary tools that implement manifold signal transformation and operation and is a basic component of integrated circuits and is widely used in computer, computerized numerical control, and communication fields. By combining the advantages of synthetic feasibility and enantioselective luminescent recognition, a logic device based on the lanthanide functional membrane has been constructed to effectively recognize the enantiomer and judge the enantiomer excess of the chair drug mixture. In addition, it would be interesting if such a logic circuit could be assembled into a loop circuit to realize intelligent control of the electronic component. Read-only memory arrays built by the logic circuit are also actualized, which can be converted and stored in binary strings. This work provides an active and universal approach to modulate a luminescent device and logic circuit based on a chemical sensor, with promising application for intelligent control, information processing, and human-machine interaction.
