title: Cyanuryl-PNA monomer: synthesis and crystal structure.
abstract: [structure: see text] The chemical synthesis and crystal structure of the peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomer 11 having cyanuric acid as the nucleobase is reported. The crystal structure of 11 shows molecular tapes arising from continuous intermolecular dimeric hydrogen bonding, with successive tapes held by single hydrogen bonds in the backbone.
