title: Molecular logic with a saccharide probe on the few-molecules level.
abstract: In this Communication we describe a two-component saccharide probe with logic capability. The combination of a boronic acid-appended viologen and perylene diimide was able to perform a complementary implication/not implication logic function. Fluorescence quenching and recovery with fructose was analyzed with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy on the level of a few molecules of the reporting dye.
