Two conjugates of tetraphenylethylene with D-2’-deoxyuridine (1D) and L-2’-deoxyuridine (1L) were synthesized to construct new supramolecular DNA-architectures by self-assembly. The non-templated assemblies of 1D and 1L show strong aggregation-induced emission...

The cyanolated distyrylbenzene conjugated to 2’-deoxyuridine is a new building block for supramolecular DNA architectures combining aggregation-induced emission and sequence-selective binding. A high number of binding sites at the DNA...
