A molecule capable of both autocatalysis and organocatalysis was synthesized. The autocatalytic activity results from the self-complementary recognition sites provided by hydrogen bonding between heterocyclic subunits and the organocatalysis resides in an embedded thiourea function. The behavior of the molecule suggests both replication and metabolism can be engineered into synthetic compounds.

Adenine and thymine functionalised naphthalenediimide (NDI) conjugates and complementary peptide nucleic acid (PNA) dimers are designed to exploit complementary hydrogen bonding and aromatic interactions for controllable molecular organization. These nucleobase appended NDIs organized into well-defined fibers, nanoribbons, porous spheres, belts and petal-like 2D sheets.
腺嘌呤和胸腺嘧啶官能化萘二亚胺(NDI)共轭物和互补肽核酸(PNA)二聚体旨在利用互补氢键和芳香族相互作用实现可控的分子组织。这些附加核碱基的 NDI 组织成了定义明确的纤维、纳米带、多孔球、带状和花瓣状二维薄片。
