title: A naphthalimide based chemosensor for Zn2+, pyrophosphate and H2O2: sequential logic operations at the molecular level.
abstract: A naphthalimide based fluorescent probe  has been synthesized which shows ratiometric fluorescence response towards Zn(2+) ions and the in situ prepared -Zn(2+) complex was used for the detection of pyrophosphate and hydrogen peroxide which mimics the functions of sequential logic circuits at the molecular level.
