The fluorescence of molecules 1-3 is enhanced by factors of up to 67 i
n the presence of magnesium and calcium ions in neutral water which al
lows the selective monitoring of magnesium ions under simulated physio
logical conditions and permits the construction of truth tables with O
R logic when these molecules are viewed as ion input-photon output mol
ecular devices.
