“…This is an apparent limitation, since it leads to not only inconvenience of pH adjustment but also the risk of degradation of labile compounds. In recently years, our group has dedicated to reduce the binding pH of boronic acid-functionalized materials through using boronic acid with special structure [21,29,38,41,45,54] or the teamed boronate affinity strategy [20,28,37,56]. Usually the lowest binding pH is provided to indicate the lowest pH condition of the sample environment a boronic acid-functionalized material can be applicable.…”
