A New Saccharides and Nnucleosides Sensor Based on Tetrathiafulvalene-anthracene Dyad with Two Boronic Acid Groups

Abstract

Abstract: A new saccharides sensor based on the TTF-anthracene dyad with two boronic acid (2) groups was designed and synthesized. This new saccharides sensor shows selectivity towards D-glucose while its analogue with one boronic acid group (1) was reported to bind D-Fructose selectively. Moreover, reaction of compound 2 with uridine induced even larger fluorescence enhancement under the same condition
