<i>Cinchona</i> alkaloids – acid, anion-driven fluorescent INHIBIT logic gates with a receptor<sub>1</sub>–fluorophore–spacer–receptor<sub>2</sub> format and PET and ICT mechanisms
Nicola’ Agius, David C. Magri
Abstract
The fluorescent natural products quinine, quinidine, cinchonine and cinchonidine are demonstrated as H + -enabled, halide-disabled (Cl − , Br − or I − ) INHIBIT logic gates in water.
