Design, Synthesis and Applications of Complementary Quadruply Hydrogen Bonding Modules: A. Redox Responsive Naphthyridine and Application in Polymers. B. Probing the Polymeric Environmental Effect on the Complexation of Strong Hydrogen Bonding Species

As an approach to counter certain drawbacks that exist in the use of DNA as a building material for nanotechnology, simpler DNA inspired modules have been designed. These are units that have the desired property of forming multiple hydrogen bonds. The compounds can be prepared conveniently from inexpensive starting materials and thus are available in large quantities. By their design, exhibit high stability in self-association or hetero-complexation, enabling a high fidelity assembly.
