Visual sensing of fluoride ion and saccharides utilizing a coupled redox reaction of ferrocenylboronic acids and dye molecules

Hiromasa Yamamoto, Aiichiro Ori, Keiko Ueda, Claus Dusemund and Seiji Shinkai


F and saccharides which feature specific affinity with the bornic acid group can be detected visually by the redox reaction between ferrocenylboronic acid derivatives and dyes with the appropriate redox potentials.
