Consolidating Molecular Logic with New Solid-Bound YES and PASS 1 Gates and Their Combinations

Abstract

Proton-driven YES and PASS 1 molecular logic tags based on anthracene and 4-aminonaphthalimide fluorophores, emitting blue and green, respectively, are employed on amino-terminated polyethylene glycol–polystyrene and aminopropyl silica particles. The (YES+PASS 1) logic combination is also a distinguishable tag in both colours. The scope of such tags is delineated.
