Anion recognition by anthracene appended ortho-aminomethylphenylboronic acid: a new PET-based sensing mechanism
Abstract
Carboxylate, phosphate and sulphate anions form hydrogen bonded complexes with the B(OH)2 group of the receptor 1 producing a turn-off fluorescence response, while the malonate monoanion induces the opposite turn-on effect.
