Interactions between boric acid derivatives and saccharides in aqueous media: Structures and stabilities of resulting esters

•Speciation of bor(on)ic and bor(on)ate esters depends on pKas and pH.•Stability and selectivity depend largely on steric effects.•Stability and selectivity can be increased by introduction of additional binding sites.•Free glucose and fructose, glycated proteins (HSA hemoglobin), and bound and free...
