A new type of conjugated polybenzimidazole (CPBI) was synthesized through a simple polycondensation reaction without metal catalysis, and N-alkylation modification was carried out to solve the problems of solubility and fluorescence properties. A series of nano-microsphere polymers CPBIn with large conjugation, good solubility, and strong fluorescence has been successfully used as “turn-off” fluorescent probes for the first time. The results show that, under suitable N-alkylation conditions, the obtained CPBIn can be used as a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent probe for the detection of Cu2+ and Zn2+ at the same time, and their detection limits are both nM levels. In addition, CPBI2 can be designed as an ultra-sensitive IMPLICATION logic gate at the molecular level, cyclically detecting Cu2+. With the test paper containing CPBI2, easy and quick on-site detection can be achieved. This research provides a new idea for the brief synthesis of multifunctional materials.

In this paper, we report a synthesised water soluble perylene derivative, N,N′-di(2-aspartic acid)-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PASP), for highly sensitive and repeatable detection of copper (Cu2+) and aluminium ions (Al3+) and novel logic gate operation. In the presence of metal ions, a dramatic decrease in PASP optical intensity was induced based on the strong interaction between terminal carboxy groups and the metal ions. Detection limits of 0.22 and 0.24μM were respectively obtained at physiological pH. The signals could be recovered upon the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) and P2O74−, which competed for Cu2+ and Al3+ in the PASP-CuII and PASP-AlIII systems and induced their dissociation as secondary sensors for anions. At least four detection cycles were performed with a high recovery efficiency. Based on these phenomena, a novel three-level logic gate (OR-IMP-OR) was performed for smart signal readout with metal ions (Cu2+ and Al3+) and anions (EDTA and P2O74−) as input signals, and the relative change of optical intensity of PASP as output signal. Furthermore, the prepared PASP molecule also responded sensitively to Cu2+ and Al3+ in 10% diluted serum medium.
