The interaction of α-glucose with a BN-nanosheet, BN-nanotube, and BN-fullerene, was analyzed from an atomistic and electronic point of view, to evaluate such nanostructures as possible carriers and/or biosensors of the α-glucose molecule. Adsorption energies are in the range of physisorption (À 0.79 eV to À 0.91 eV) for the BN-nanosheet and -nanotube, and chemisorption (À 2.24 eV to À 2.35 eV), for the BN-fullerene. All systems, exhibit semiconductor-like behavior and great stability according to j LUMO-HOMO j energy gap [Gap LH ] and chemical potential values, respectively. For the BN-nanosheet and -nanotube, the stabilization of the complexes is through hydrogen bonds, while for BN-fullerene is through a covalent bond and charge transfer. Furthermore, the BN-fullerene is able to dissociate the α-glucose molecule, which could help to decomposer such a compound, and be used for biological applications. The data taking into consideration solvent effects have no significant impact with respect to gas phase, except in the dipole moment (M d ) where we noticed an increase up to ~45 %. Our results suggest that BN-nanosheet and -nanotube, may act as biosensors, while BN-fullerene, may serve as a carrier or degrader of the α-glucose molecule.
