Abstract
It has been known for almost 35 years that catechol complexes reversibly to boronic acids. We observe that 2-anthrylboronic acid complexes catechol in water with Kd 330 μM and concomitant 20-fold reduction in fluorescence intensity, l-DOPA and dopamine behave similarly, suggesting a mechanism for the development of real-time sensing schemes.
