DNA‐templated self‐assembly represents a rich and growing subset of supramolecular chemistry where functional self‐assemblies are programmed in a versatile manner using nucleic acids as readily‐available and readily‐tunable templates. In this review, we summarize the different DNA recognition modes and the basic supramolecular interactions at play in this context. We discuss the recent results that report the DNA‐templated self‐assembly of small molecules into complex yet precise nanoarrays, going from 1D to 3D architectures. Finally, we show their emerging functions as photonic/electronic nanowires, sensors, gene delivery vectors, and supramolecular catalysts, and their growing applications in a wide range of area from materials to biological sciences.

从 DNA 模板超分子自组装中的相互作用到功能。

DNA模板自组装代表了超分子化学的一个丰富且不断增长的子集，其中使用核酸作为易于获得和易于调节的模板，以多种方式对功能自组装进行编程。在这篇综述中，我们总结了不同的 DNA 识别模式和在此背景下发挥作用的基本超分子相互作用。我们讨论了最近的结果，这些结果报告了小分子以 DNA 为模板自组装成复杂而精确的纳米阵列，从 1D 结构到 3D 结构。最后，我们展示了它们作为光子/电子纳米线、传感器、基因传递载体和超分子催化剂的新兴功能，以及它们在从材料到生物科学的广泛领域中不断增长的应用。
