Simple and rapid visual sensing of saccharides.
Solutions of compound 1 exhibit dramatic, characteristic color changes in response to sugar analytes. Structurally related saccharides including glucose phosphates and amino and carboxylic acid sugars can be readily distinguished by visual inspection. These findings should promote the design of unique color sensory materials based on readily available, functional macrocyclic hosts.
