Abstract
A sensor comprises respective acceptor and donor compounds immobilised in or on a matrix including a glucose-binding boronate and a cationic species, whereby the spacing between the acceptor and donor compounds is reduced in the presence of glucose. For example a holographic sensor comprises a glucose-binding boronate and a cationic species held within the sensor.
