A library of organic tectons (1–3 and 5) combining nucleobases and a pyridyl moiety connected at the position 4 of the ring was designed and synthesized. The solid-state structure of tectons 1–3 was investigated by X-ray diffraction on single crystal. Owing to the self-complementary nature of the tectons bearing both H-bond donor and acceptor sites, compounds 1–3 self-assemble into H-bonded networks. The dimension of the latter is further increased when taking into account π-π stacking interactions.

分子构造：带有吡啶基的核碱基的自组装

的有机tectons阿库（1 - 3和5）相结合的核碱基，并在该环的4位连接的吡啶基部分被设计并合成。tectons的固态结构1 - 3通过单晶X射线衍射进行了研究。由于tectons轴承二者H-键供体和受体位点，的自互补性的化合物1 - 3自组装成氢键网络。当考虑到π-π堆叠相互作用时，后者的尺寸进一步增加。
