title: Carbohydrate-functionalized oligothiophenes for concanavalin A recognition.
abstract: Versatile synthesis of fluorescent, carbohydrate-functionalized oligothiophene hybrids via Sonogashira-type cross coupling reactions is reported. The mannose derivatives reveal specific binding with the model lectin from Canavalia enisformis (Concanavalin A).
