Proton transfer network with luminescence display controls OFF/ON catalysis that generates a high-speed slider-on-deck

A three-component network for OFF/ON catalysis was built from a protonated nanoswitch and a luminophore. Its activation by addition of silver(i) triggered the proton-catalyzed formation of a biped and the assembly of a fast slider-on-deck (k(298) = 540 kHz).

Automated summary

A three-component network for OFF/ON catalysis was constructed, utilizing a protonated nanoswitch and a luminophore. The addition of silver(i) activated the network, leading to the proton-catalyzed formation of a biped structure and the assembly of a fast slider-on-deck (k(298) = 540 kHz).
