Abstract
Systematic cascading of molecular logic gates is an important issue to be addressed for advancing
research in this field. We have demonstrated that photochemically triggered metal ion signals can be utilized towards that goal. Thus, independent logic gates were shown to work together while keeping their
identity in more complex logic designs. Communication through the intermediacy of ion signals is clearly
inspired from biological processes modulated by such signals, and implemented here with ion responsive
molecules.
