Novel fluorescent receptors show remarkable chiral selectivity for D-glucose in water at physiological pH

Caption

Researchers from Japan have developed γ‑cyclodextrin and fluorescent monoboronic acid-based complexes – 1F/γ-CyD and 2N/γ-CyD – that exhibit excellent sensitivity, selectivity, and chiral selectivity for D-glucose detection
