Selective electrochemiluminescent sensing of saccharides using boronic acid-modified coreactant

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Oct 25;52(87):12845-12848. doi: 10.1039/c6cc07030b.

Abstract

We report a strategy for modulating the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) response by integrating a boronic acid to the chemical structure of coreactants. Excellent selectivity for d-glucose was achieved by tuning the linker length of a bis-boronic acid amine coreactant.
