A regenerative, molecular machine-like ON-OFF-ON chemosensor based on a chromene molecule with the pyran ring OFF-ON-OFF cycle is reported for the first time. It behaves as a molecular lock that requires a thiol key to open the lock and a mercury(II) ion hand that unlatches the key for unsheathing the key to close the lock.
