New fluorescent molecular sensors for 9-alkylguanines were constructed by conjugation of 2-acetamido-1,8-naphthyridine with N-Boc-pyrrole, N-Boc-pyreno[2,1-b]pyrrole, or acetanilide moieties via an ethynyl bridge. In combination with the triple hydrogen-bonding motif of 2-acetamidonaphthyridine toward alkylguanine, an additional binding site was provided by the substituent properly located on the pyrrole or aniline ring to enhance the affinity of these receptor molecules. Besides the ESI-MS analyses, the binding events were readily monitored by the absorption and fluorescence changes in the visible region.

Organoborane oligomers with well-defined molecular structures and high luminescence are scarce, among which those with boron not used as bridging atoms are even more so. Here, a series of well-defined ethynyl-linked or butadiynyl-linked conjugated organoborane oligomers with high fluorescence quantum yield and extinction coefficient (i.e.

Article Synopsis
- - A series of new organic small molecules designed with A-π-D-π-A and D-π-D-π-D architectures were created to explore the donor-acceptor system in resistive memory devices.
- - Devices based on A-π-D-π-A structures showed write-once-read-many memory behavior with a good retention time, while D-π-D-π-D molecules acted like conductors with no memory function.
- - The study indicated that the choice of substituents on the molecules influenced their electrical properties and switching behaviors, making D-A architectures particularly suitable for effective memory devices.

The low binding affinity of unmodified triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFO) is the main drawback to their promising utilization in gene therapy. In the present study, we have synthesized DNA intercalator 5-(pyren-1-ylethynyl)indole Y, known as twisted intercalating nucleic acid (TINA), by a Cu-mediated Sonogashira palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of 1-ethynylpyrene with 5-iodoindole at a high temperature under anaerobic conditions. Coupling with indole C-5 was far more preferable in obtaining stable TINA-indole than enamine site C-3, as neither hydration of the triple bond to ketones nor competitive Glaser-type homocoupling of acetylenes was observed.

Novel BN-doped compounds based on chiral, tetrasubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane and NBN-benzo[f,g]tetracene were synthesized by Sonogashira-Hagihara coupling. Conjugated ethynyl linkers allow electronic communication between the π-electron systems through-bond, whereas through-space interactions are provided by strong π-π overlap between the pairs of NBN-building blocks.

A set of modified 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) bearing a linear or branched alkane, indole or phenyl group linked through ethynyl or alkyl spacer were synthesized and used as substrates for polymerase synthesis of hypermodified DNA by primer extension (PEX). Using the alkyl-linked dNTPs, the polymerase synthesized up to 22-mer fully modified oligonucleotide (ON), whereas using the ethynyl-linked dNTPs, the enzyme was able to synthesize even long sequences of >100 modified nucleotides in a row. In PCR, the combinations of all four modified dNTPs showed only linear amplification.
