Abstract
A productive approach for the incorporation of metal centers into nucleic acids providing new materials must be versatile, modular and synthetically simple. Metal complex-containing DNA-oligomers are predominantly constructed via three major pathways: a) the synthesis of a chelator-containing oligonucleotide followed by metal complexation, b) the synthesis of an end-functionalized oligonucleotide to which a metal complex can be conjugated, and c) the synthesis of nucleoside/metal complex conjugates followed by incorporation of the metal bearing synthon into DNA using automated DNA synthesis on solid support. Representative examples of these methodologies are described together with brief account of selected practical applications of metal bearing DNA-oligomers.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
