Fluorescent molecular sensors for protons and metal ions have been designed on the basis of photoinduced electron transfer (PET), but few fluorescent molecular sensors for small neutral molecules are known. With the aim of PET-based selective detection of saccharides, interactions between organic boronic acids and saccharides have been studied using molecular models, showing that a particular derivative with a 9,10-diaminomethylanthracene skeleton provides a cleft into which the glucose molecule fits with its 1,2- and 4,6- hydroxyl groups perfectly spaced and aligned with the 2 inwardly facing boronic acid groups. The required boronic acid derivative was easily synthesized in 3 stages, and the intensity of its fluorescence (at 10 µsmallcap˜M in aqueous 33.3% methanol buffer at pH 7.77; no wavelength stated) was studied in relation to the concentrationcof smallcap˜D-monosaccharide (glucose, fructose, allose or galactose) or ethyleneglycol (which gave little response). The calculated stability constants of the 5 complexes, expressed as logKa, were 3.6, 2.5, 2.8, 2.2 and -0.2, respectively. Features of the1H-NMR spectrum of the glucose complex are interpreted. When glucose (logcfrom -5 to -1) was tested in the presence of 0.1 msmallcap˜M fructose or galactose, the calculated logKaremained almost the same as with glucose alone. Hence, a basis exists for constructing a PET-based sensor selective for glucose.
