title: A switchable macrocycle-clip complex that functions as a NOR logic gate.
abstract: We have synthesized a new molecular switch-based on a macrocycle-clip complex-whose switching behavior not only can be controlled through the use of either K+-[2,2,2]cryptand or NH4+-Et3N systems but also provides color changes that are visible to the naked eye; consequently, this system operates as a two-input NOR functioning molecular logic gate.
