Abstract
Within the last decade a considerable amount of effort has been directed towards the detection of saccharides by fluorescent chemosensors.1–3 Such studies have shown that the response which signals an interaction between carbohydrate and receptor is frequently communicated by changes in fluorescence intensity either through chelation enhanced-quenching (CHEQ) or chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF).4,5 While significant advances continue in the areas of chemosensors for saccharides, invariably, one or more of the requisite conditions necessary for biologists to measure these analytes goes unmet. For carbohydrate measurements, conditions such as neutral pH as well as selectivity in an aqueous testing environment are essential. In addition to these physiological requirements, for effective photoinduced electron transfer (PET), the signaling properties of the chemosensor must also meet certain criteria. Three critical prerequisites of the fluorescent sensor that must be satisfied for carbohydrate recognition have been outlined by Shinkai: strong fluorescence intensity, large pH dependent change in I max, and shift of the pH-I max profile to lower pH region in the presence of saccharides.6

A calculated energy barrier of rotation for sensor and sensor-saccharide complex was determined using PC model software (version 6.0). The sensor-saccharide complex displays a higher energy barrier (15.32 kcal/mole) than free sensor (14.41 kcal/mole). Although this difference appears small, the overall strain energy was much higher 140.3 kcal/mol). On this energy difference basis, the rotational energy barrier may prevent phenyl ring rotation.
