abstract = "2-Anthrylboronic acid (pKa 8.8) displays decreased fluorescence in the boronate form compared with its boronic acid form, which we attribute to photoinduced electron transfer. When the boronic acid complexes to polyols such as fructose, the pKa of the complex decreases; thus, the fluorimetrically determined pKa of the 2-anthrylboronic acid:fructose borate ester is 5.9. These properties combined permit polyol complexation in water to be observed spectrofluorimetrically, which has not been reported previously. Fructose binds with a fluorimetrically determined Kd of 3.7 mM.",
