title: Nucleic acid-like structures. III. Oligomerization of 3'-deoxyadenosine 2',5'-diphosphoimidazolide.
abstract: The activated dimonophosphate of 3'-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) undergoes oligomerization to produce a new family of pyrophosphate-linked oligomers in which the average repeating unit involves a nine-atom structural group. The presence of a poly(U) template increases the relative yields of higher oligomers, although the template-free reaction is itself extremely efficient.
