[a] Conditions: substrate concentrations from 0.018 to 0.370 mol L−1 in 2.63 mL carbonate buffer at pH 10 with 20 vol% EtOH, 0.100 g polymer, RT. [b] Molecular affinity constants of the corresponding molecular boronate‐diol esters.[ 8a , 15 ] [c] Time until reaching the sorption equilibrium. [d] Maximum polymer loadings for tested substrates upon adsorption on 20 mol % DVB and 20 mol% EDMA cross‐linked p‐VPBA polymers. [e] Swelling degree in presence of the respective substrates, conditions: 0.100 g DVB cross‐linked p‐(VPBA) polymer, 0.148 mol L−1 substrate solution in carbonate buffer at pH 10 with 20 vol % EtOH, soaking for 3–24 h. [f] Percentage of sp3‐hybridized boron diol ester estimated from 11B MAS NMR for DVB cross‐linked p‐VPBA polymer, adsorption conditions: 0.148 mol L−1 substrate solutions in carbonate buffer at pH 10 with 20 vol % EtOH. [g] SD and maximum sorption capacities reproduced from previous studies. [14]
