A dual chemosensor for both Cu2+ and Al3+: A potential Cu2+ and Al3+ switched YES logic function with an INHIBIT logic gate and a novel solid sensor for detection and extraction of Al3+ ions from aqueous solution

- Dual response receptor RB-HN material has been synthesized to detect Cu2+ and Al3+ ion in DMSO/water medium.
- RB-HN shows high reversibility with EDTA and reflect “OFF-ON-OFF” recognizing property.
- Molecular logic gate has been developed as INHIBIT logic gate with a YES logic function.
- At first PEGDMA encapsulated RB-HN has been used to detect and extract the Al3+ ion from aqueous medium.
