Abstract
Nucleic acids are unique molecular recognition elements in biosensors having targets that range from ions, small molecules, peptides, proteins and DNA/RNA to virus and whole cells. Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic compound with very special photophysical characteristics, including long fluorescence lifetime, high quantum yield, and the capability of forming excited state dimers with large Stokes shift. In recent years, pyrene has been used extensively as a novel signaling element in nucleic acid sensors. In this review, we will discuss the optical properties of pyrene and summarize recent progress in the development of pyrene DNA probes for the sensing of nucleic acids, proteins, and small molecules.

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
