ABSTRACT

A glucose sensing switch is formed by water soluble conjugated polymer (PP-S-BINOL) and boronic acid-functionalized benzyl viologen (o-BBV). The two-component system shows a high sensitivity for glucose sensing with a 17-fold increase in the fluorescence intensity in the presence of 100 mM glucose.
