Ru(II) Tris(bipyridyl) Complexes with Six Oligonucleotide Arms as Precursors for the Generation of Supramolecular Assemblies

摘要

Nucleic acids can assemble into higher-order structures on the basis of complementary Watson-Crick base pairing.This self-assembly process has been exploited by a number of researchers in the "bottom-up" approach to the generation of nonbiological structures of nanoscale dimensions.
