DNA-templated control of chirality and efficient energy transport in supramolecular DNA architectures with aggregation-induced emission

was covalently incorporated at two distinct sites in the sequences, one near the Atto dye, and one farther away. This new type of completely self-assembled supramolecular DNA architecture is hierarchically ordered and the DNA template controls not only the binding but also the energy transport properties. The high intensity of the aggregation-induced emission and the excellent energy transport properties make these DNA-based materials promising candidates for optoelectronic applications.
