Abstract

Low concentrations of D‐fructose and D‐galactose do not hinder the detection of D‐glucose with the fluorescence sensor 1. The diboronic acid 1 is easy to synthesize and forms a cleft structure in which monosaccharides bind with differing selectivity. The saccharide‐diboronic acid 1:1 complexes are readily detected by their fluorescence. (Figure Presented.)
