“…63,152 Bhatt et al explored the feasibility of synthesizing silver nanoparticles using DNA in IL solution. 152 When choline formate was used in combination with DNA, Ag(I) salt was successfully reduced to form silver nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were found to have welldefined spherical morphology with sizes in the range of 10−20 nm.…”

“…Because of the enhanced stability of DNA in ILs, various material applications that utilize DNA–IL complexation have been explored. − ,− The most well-established application, as we have already discussed, is the use of IL as a solvent of DNA. ,, In addition to its ability to stabilize DNA for long-term storage at room temperature, IL can also protect DNA from various environmental stresses. , For example, Sarker et al reported the use of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate to protect plasmid DNA against ultrasonic shear stress . They found that when plasmid DNA was complexed with IL, it remained stable for up to 120 min under high frequency ultrasonic shear stress, while noncomplexed DNA degraded in 30 min.…”

“…DNA–IL complexes also find use as templates for the synthesis of nanomaterials. In this application, the DNA serves the role of a structure template, while the IL bound to the DNA surface serves as a nucleation site, and together they allow the DNA-templated structure to be transcribed into the synthesized nanomaterial. , Bhatt et al explored the feasibility of synthesizing silver nanoparticles using DNA in IL solution . When choline formate was used in combination with DNA, Ag(I) salt was successfully reduced to form silver nanoparticles.…”

Nucleic acids are a special class of negatively charged polymers, and they can complex with cationic small molecules and polymers to form polyelectrolyte complexes of rich morphology. The initial application focuses on gene delivery and typically involves the complexation of DNA with cationic surfactants and homopolymers.Recent research progress has extended to the complexation of nucleic acids with cationic block copolymers and ionic liquids, leading to the observation of unique morphology and stability characteristics and opening up opportunities for new application development. In this perspective article, we review the current understanding on the complexation behavior of nucleic acids with cationic species. We begin by discussing the phase behavior of DNA complexation with cationic surfactants and homopolymers. We then cover the more recent topic of nucleic acids interaction with cationic block copolymers and present the morphology and stability of complex micelles formed using both amphiphilic and hydrophilic block catiomers. Lastly, we examine DNA binding to ionic liquids and introduce new material applications involving ionic liquid stabilized DNA. We conclude the perspective by discussing a number of remaining challenges and future research topics in this exciting field.
