The growing area of research of developing and analysing oligonucleotides containing artificial nucleobases<br />

provides a way towards the generation of functionalized nanoarchitectures. Metal-mediated base pairs are of<br />

special interest since one expects interesting magnetic or electric properties.[1, 2]<br />

We report the synthesis of the artificial 1-deazapurine nucleoside as well as the characterisation of its metal-ion<br />

binding properties in oligonucleotides. The addition of silver(I) ions results in a concentration-dependend<br />

melting behaviour with various oligonucleotides (d(X14A), d(X16A), d(X19A) (X = 1-deazapurine)). This can<br />

be explained by the formation of a double helix with up to 19 consecutive metal-mediated artificial base pairs<br />

(Scheme).<br />
