Self-assembly of aluminium-salen coupled nanostructures from encoded modules with cleavable disulfide DNA-linkers.
DNA-directed coupling of organic modules by formation of stable aluminium-salen complexes, makes possible the subsequent reductive cleavage of disulfide linkers and release of the two oligonucleotide chains attached to each building-block.
