Low concentrations of D ‐fructose and D ‐galactose do not hinder the detection of D ‐glucose with the fluorescence sensor 1 . The diboronic acid 1 is easy to synthesize and forms a cleft structure in which monosaccharides bind with differing selectivity. The saccharide‐diboronic acid 1:1 complexes are readily detected by their fluorescence.
