Intramolecular Charge Transfer aromatic amines and their application towards molecular logic gate

摘要

The emission response of 1-aminopyrene and 2-aminoanthracene was found to be switched ON or OFF by interrupting the Intramolecular Charge Transfer processes of these integrated systems using two binary ionic inputs like H ~+ or/and OH~-. These fluorescence responses in the presence of added H~+ or/and OH~- could be correlated with Half-subtractor logic operation, revealing the possibility of using simple molecules for demonstrating complex logic operations.
