Two series of thymidine derivatives with additional nucleobases/aromatics attached to either the 5'(S)-C- or the 5-position were prepared by epoxide opening and/or "click chemistry" cycloaddition protocols and introduced into DNA duplexes. Interstrand base-base communication in the minor groove and intrastrand stacking interactions in the major groove were detected.
