Abstract
Abstract Exploring intelligent fluorescent materials with high reliability and precision to diagnose diseases is significant but remains a great challenge. Herein, based on coordination post‐synthetic modification, a Tb 3+ functionalized ME‐PA (Tb@ 1 ) is prepared, which can emit brilliant green fluorescence through ligand‐to‐mental charge transfer‐assisted energy transfer (LMCT‐ET) process from ME‐PA to Tb 3+ ions. Tb@ 1 can simultaneously distinguish Tryptophan (Try) and its metabolite 5‐hydroxyindole‐3‐acetic acid (5‐HIAA), two effective indicators for depression, in ratio and colorimetric mode. And this sensor behaves the advantages of high efficiency and sensitivity, as well as excellent reusability and anti‐interference. The PET process from ME to Try and 5‐HIAA, and the competitive absorption between analytes and Tb@ 1 may be relevant to sensing mechanism. In realistic serum or urine environment, the detection limits of Tb@ 1 for Try and 5‐HIAA are 0.0183 and 0.0149 mg L −1 respectively. Moreover, in conjunction with back propagation neural network (BPNN), two dual‐output molecular logic gates that can be calculated circularly are further designed, which realizes intelligent control of the electronic component to identify the existence of two biomarkers and judge their concentrations from fluorescence images. This work offers a novel approach to modulate logic circuits based on ML‐assisted HOF fluorescent sensor, with promising application for a precise and pictorial depression diagnosis.
