Abstract

Being aimed at a new type of porous solids, a moduled design strategy of molecular tectons, making use of the conjugation between a shape defined artificial backbone and the bioinspired molecular fragments of nucleobases or nucleobase derivatives as functional end- caps, has been developed. This led to the formation of the new hybrid compounds 1–13 of linear and tetrahedral geometry, containing uracil, adenine, adenosine, guanosine and its ...
