Abstract
Disclosed is a fluorescent compound of a molecular structure comprising a fluorophore, at least one phenylboronic acid moiety, and at least one amine-providing nitrogen atom where the nitrogen atom is disposed in the vicinity of the phenylboronic acid moiety so as to interact intermolecularly with the boronic acid. The compound emits fluorescence of a high intensity upon binding to saccharide(s), and is therefore suitable for use in the detection of saccharide(s).
