Abstract:
Sugar detection is important for many applications. New developments in sugar signaling would provide new technologies to monitor glucose and other sugars. Azo dye 1 presents a new way to build molecular color sensors for monosaccharides. The boronic acid group is used as chelator group for monosaccharides and linked directly in resonance with the aromatic dye. Dye 1 shows a color change, from orange to purple, in the presence of sugar at neutral pH. [structure: see text]
