H. Murakami et al., Electrochemical saccharide recognition by a phenylboronic acid-terminated redox active self-assembled monolayer on a gold electrode, CHEM LETT, (8), 2000, pp. 940-941
Phenylboronic acid-terminated viologen-carrying alkyl disulfide (1) and a r
eference compound 2 were designed and synthesized. Self-assembled monolayer
s of 1 on gold electrodes were found to function as a highly sensitive sacc
haride sensor in aqueous solution.
