Abstract
Abstract A novel diarylethene containing a 3-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine was synthesized. Its multi-responsive properties induced by UV/Vis lights and metal ions were studied in detail by absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. It showed excellent fluorescence sensing ability for Al3+ and Zn2+ with very low detection limit. In addition, based on the multi-responsive characteristics, a logic circuit was constructed by using both UV/Vis lights and chemical species stimuli as inputs and fluorescence intensity as outputs. Moreover, the diarylethene was successfully applied to effectively detect Al3+ and Zn2+ in actual water samples.
