An imidazole possessing sensor (1) has been designed and developed by simple one step reaction and characterization was done by using common spectroscopic methods. The fluorimetric sensing of nerve agent mimic, DCP, was carried out by observing blue shift in spectra accompanied with quenching in semi-aqueous solvent. The sensor was found proficient for the detection of DCP amongst other phosphates with detection limit of 69 nM. Furthermore, upon incorporation of various metal ions to CH₃CN:H₂O (4:1, v/v) solution of 1 (λ_ex 340 nm), the fluorescent probe turned non-fluorescent only in presence of Cu²⁺/Hg²⁺ ions. This was accompanied by fluorescent color change from light blue to yellow in case of Hg²⁺ and colorless in case of Cu²⁺ ions. Moreover, practical applications of sensor 1 were investigated for recognition of Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺ ions in real water samples along with the detection of DCP in soil samples from different areas. Differential emission changes observed with addition of Hg²⁺ ions and DCP led to observation of “NOR” and an “INHIBIT” molecular photonic logic operations at 446 and 385 nm, respectively.

通过简单的一步反应设计和开发了一种带有咪唑的传感器(1) ，并使用常用的光谱方法进行了表征。神经毒剂模拟物 DCP​​ 的荧光检测是通过观察光谱中的蓝移并在半水溶剂中淬灭来进行的。发现该传感器精通检测其他磷酸盐中的 DCP，检测限为 69 nM。此外，在将各种金属离子掺入1 (λ _{ex 340 nm) 的 CH 3} CN:H ₂ O (4:1, v/v) 溶液后，荧光探针仅在 Cu ²⁺ /存在时变为非荧光汞²⁺离子。^{在 Hg 2+}的情况下，这伴随着荧光颜色从浅蓝色变为黄色，而在 Cu ²⁺离子的情况下，荧光颜色从浅蓝色变为无色。此外，还研究了传感器1的实际应用，用于识别实际水样中的 Cu ²⁺和 Hg ²⁺离子，以及检测来自不同地区的土壤样品中的 DCP。^{添加 Hg 2+}离子和 DCP 时观察到的微分发射变化导致分别在 446 和 385 nm 处观察到“NOR”和“INHIBIT”分子光子逻辑操作。
