	abstract = {Boron difluoride dipyrromethenes bearing configurationally different amine groups on a meso-phenyl ring were prepared and crystallized. The ortho- and para-amino groups allow the phenyl group to inductively release greater electron density into the dipyrromethenes resulting in relatively strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding with the terminal BF2 groups, whereas the meta-analog formed weaker hydrogen-bonds. The intensities of the H-1 NMR peaks in concentrated solutions all increased with F-decoupling. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {The synthesis of three octapyrrolic, 8-10, and four dodecapyrrolic, 15-18, oligomers is reported. They are linear poly(dipyrromethene)s and potential ligands as building blocks for supramolecular architectures through self-assembly. Octapyrrolic oligomers 8-10 were prepared in 90-95\% yields by condensation of 2 equiv of a tripyrrolic compound 4 with 1 equiv of diformyldipyrrolic compounds 5-7. A similar procedure, involving the condensation of 2 equiv of a pentapyrrolic starting material 13 with 1 equiv of 5-7 or 14, was found to give rise to the corresponding dodecameric systems 15-18 in 41-56\% yields.},

	abstract = {Two synthetically modified nucleoside triphosphate analogues (adenosine modified with an imidazole and uridine modified with a cationic amine) are enzymatically polymerized in tandem along a degenerate DNA library for the combinatorial selection of an RNAse A mimic. The selected activity is consistent with both electrostatic and general acid/base catalysis at physiological pH in the absence of divalent metal cations. The simultaneous use of two modified nucleotides to enrich the catalytic repertoire of DNA-based catalysts has never before been demonstrated and evidence of general acid/base catalysis at pH 7.4 for a DNAzyme has never been previously observed in the absence of a divalent metal cation or added cofactor, This work illustrates how the incorporation of protein-like functionalities in nucleic acids can bridge the gap between proteins and oligonucleotides underscoring the potential for using nucleic acid scaffolds in the development of new materials and improved catalysts for use in chemistry and medicine.},
