A luminescence band with maxima at 512 nm for L was observed (λext = 330 nm) for a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) transition following antienergy gap law behavior. However, normal energy gap law behavior prevailed on formation of a new nonluminescent charge transfer complex, Mn+·L. For paramagnetic metal ions, paramagnetism induced luminescence quenching could have also contributed to this. A new switched on fluorescence response at λems of 356 nm (λext of 330 nm) was observed due to Franck–Condon charge transfer (FC-CT) transition only on the formation of a complex, (Cr3+)2·L. Spectral studies revealed a unique dynamic coordination behavior and migration of Cr3+ from the terpyridyl fragment to the NNMe2 center of L as a function of the varying concentration of another ion (Zn2+) and the subtle difference in the binding affinities of the terpyridyl moiety toward Cr3+ and Zn2+. Further, spectral responses of L toward Zn2+, different concentration of Cr3+, H+ and on subsequent addition of F– as different ionic inputs could be correlated well for demonstrating various basic and combinatorial circuits.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.814

These spectral changes are significant enough in the visible region of the spectrum and thus, allow the visual detection. For L1, the detection limit is even lower than the permissible [Cr3+] or [Hg2+] in drinking water as per standard U.S. EPA norms; while the receptor, L2 could be used as a ratiometric sensor for detection of Cr3+ and Hg2+ based on the resonance energy transfer (RET) process involving the donor naphthalimide and the acceptor Cr3+/Hg2+-bound xanthene fragment. Studies reveal that these two reagents could be used for recognition and sensing of Hg2+/Cr3+. Further, confocal laser microscopic studies confirmed that the reagent L2 could also be used as an imaging probe for detection of uptake of these ions in A431 cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.593

This reagent could be used as a dual probe and allowed detection of these two ions by monitoring changes in absorption and the fluorescence spectral pattern. In both instances, the extent of the changes was significant enough to allow visual detection. More importantly, the receptor molecule could be used as an imaging reagent for detection of Hg2+ and Cr3+ uptake in live human cancer cells (MCF7) using laser confocal microscopic studies. Unlike Hg(ClO4)2 or Hg(NO3)2 salts, HgCl2 or HgI2 failed to induce any visually detectable change in color or fluorescence upon interaction with L1 under identical experimental conditions. Presumably, the higher covalent nature of HgII in HgCl2 or HgI2 accounts for its lower acidity and its inability to open up the spirolactam ring of the reagent L1. The issue has been addressed on the basis of the single-crystal X-ray structures of L1·HgX2 (X– = Cl– or I–) and results from other spectral studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.593
