Dual-fluorescent donor-acceptor dyad with tercarbazole donor and switchable imide acceptor: promising structure for an integrated logic gate.
A dual-fluorescent donor-acceptor (D-A) dyad with tercarbazole (donor) and 2,3-dithienylmaleimide (acceptor) was synthesized and characterized. The emission intensity of long wavelength could be regulated by either bistable structures of the dyad or the polarities of solvents. By mimicking the function of an integrated logic gate, a 2-input AND logic operation is established. [reaction: see text].
