Abstract
Metal in the middle: A metallo base pair incorporating 6‐pyridylpurine (Purp) was synthesized and characterized. PurP binds nickel(II) preferentially over other divalent ions and yields a base pair that is more stable than natural Watson–Crick pairs with high mismatch selectivity. Computational studies support a dimensional resemblance between PurP⋅Ni2+⋅PurP (see structure) and natural base pairs.
