Molecular keypad controlled circuit for Ce(iii) and NO ions recognition by μw synthesized silicon-embedded organic luminescent sensor.

This report demonstrates the mimicking of an electronic circuit diagram towards Ce(iii) ion sensing response supported by molecular keypads. The probe naphthyl based triazole linked silatrane (NTS) was efficiently synthesized using a series of microwave mediated reactions. The luminescent sensor NTS was explored for the ion sensing response towards Ce(iii) ions using DMSO and DMSO : HO 4 : 1 (v/v) as solvent media, respectively.
