A Chiroptical Logic Circuit Based on Self-Assembled Soft Materials Containing Amphiphilic Spiropyran
A chiral logic circuit is proposed based on the multiple chiroptical responsiveness of a supramolecular gel material. The gel is fabricated by mixing a chiral gelator and a spiropyran derivative. Chiral responsiveness including the chiral switch and the logic gate is realized through the combined chirality transfer, photochromism, and acidichromism of the system. [GRAPHICS] .
