A large part of organic and macromolecular chemistry starts with the chemical functionalization of benzene, and benzene units serve us building blocks for important polymers. Naturally, benzene-based aromatic materials also represent an important subclass of jt-conjugaled architectures. Despite some synthetic difficulties related to the generation of structurally well-defined oligo- and poly(phenyl-... 

The first series of soluble oligo(/ ara-phenylene)s OPVs 24 were generated by Kern and Wirth [48] and shortly after by Heitz and Ulrich [49]. They introduced alkyl substituents (methyls) in each repeat unit and synthesized oligomers 24 up to the hexamer. Various synthetic methods, like the copper-catalyzed Ullmann coupling, the copper-catalyzed condensation of lithium aryls, and the twofold addition of organomelallic species to cyclohexane-1,4-dione, have been thereby investigated. 

More recently, Mullen et al. have worked out very efficient procedures to generate highly arylaled, branched oligo(phcnylcne) and related oligo(arylcne) derivatives following different synthetic approaches. 

Phospholes can readily be prepared on a large scale and are known with a vast range of substituants [6, 16b,c]. However, the synthesis of oligo(phosphole)s analogous to (C) (Fig. 1) is a real synthetic challenge since the low aromatic character of phosphole prevents the functionalisation of the P-Ca,a carbon atoms via electrophilic substitution and inhibits their preparation using electropolymerisation. As a consequence, no poly(phosphole)s have yet been reported, although bi- and tetra-phospholes have been prepared by stepwise routes (Scheme 2). 

In conclusion, a variety of linear or cyclic oligo(phospholes)s and their derivatives are accessible via a set of efficient synthetic strategies. The potential of these compounds as advanced 71-conjugated systems is broadened by the presence of reactive trivalent P-centres, which allow a range of additional chemical modifications to be achieved. However, elucidation of structure-property relationships for these derivatives is still needed. 

The second synthetic route consists of the coupling of hexa(4-iodophenyl)ben-zene (34) with an alkylated oligophenylboronic acid to produce a hexa(oligo-phenyl)benzene by extending the aromatic chain [52]. This route is illustrated by the reaction of hexa(4-iodophenyl)benzene (34) with an alkylated terphenyl boronic acid with formation of the hexa(quaterphenyl)benzene derivative 33. Once again, the aliphatic substituents serve to guarantee sufficient solubility. 

Oligo- and polyarylenevinylenes are available via a variety of different, often very powerful, synthetic approaches the next section will give a brief overview of the most common strategies to generate this type of structures. In this context, emphasis will be placed on the synthesis of structurally defined and well-characterized materials. 

C. Oligo- and Poly-nucleotides.—The stepwise enzymatic synthesis of internucleotide bonds has been reviewed. A number of polynucleotides containing modified bases have been synthesised " in the past year from nucleoside triphosphates with the aid of a polymerase enzyme, and the enzymatic synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase has been studied. Primer-independent polynucleotide phosphorylase from Micrococcus luteus has been attached to cellulose after the latter has been activated with cyanogen bromide. The preparation of insolubilized enzyme has enabled large quantities of synthetic polynucleotides to be made. The soluble enzyme has been used to prepare various modified polycytidylic acids. ... 

Recently, we described the application of a silicon microfluidic reactor to the assembly of oligo-0-peptides (Llogel et al. 2006). The microreactor not only allowed for quick scanning of reaction conditions, but also the procurement of synthetically useful amounts of peptides (Curran 2001 Curran and Luo 1999 Zhang 2004).

From the biological viewpoint, glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) are one of the most relevant oligo- and polysaccharides. The access to new NMR hardware and software, as well as the employment of new synthetic and molecular biology protocols have permitted important advances in the comprehension of their structural and conformational properties, as well as deeply study different examples of their interaction with receptors. 

Abstract This review describes recent results in the field of poly(aryleneethynylene)s (PAEs) that contain metal ions in the polymer backbone, or in the polymer side chain. This work is focused primarily on polymers possessing ligands of metal complexes as part of the aryle-neethynylene chain. PAEs with porphyrinylene in the backbone have also been addressed. Synthetic routes toward the polymers, as well as their photochemical, photophysical, and electrochemical properties, are presented. Monodisperse oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s with terminal metal complexes or with a ferrocene and thiol at each end are mentioned.

Synthetic oligonuleotides are designed to bind to exon 1 (oligo 1a and 1b) and 2 (2a and 2b). After specific hybridisation, the oligos are ligated. The ligation products undergo quantitative polymerase chain reaction using universal primers X and Y...
