title: 4-N-Methyl-N'-(2-dihydroxyboryl-benzyl)amino benzonitrile and its boronate analogue sensing saccharides and fluoride ion.
abstract: DMABN (4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile) derivatives 1 and 2 were designed as new ratiometric fluorescent sensors for saccharides and fluoride ion (F(-)), respectively, based on the TICT (twisted intramolecular charge transfer) mechanism.
