Highly organized : Tetrathiafulvalene(TTF)‐modified oligonucleotides form stable double strands (see graphic). Exciton coupling reveals a high degree of structural organization in the modified region of a hetero‐duplex formed by TTF and perylene diimide‐containing strands. Fluorescence quenching in TTF/pyrene‐modified hetero‐hybrids is demonstrated. The results presented are important for the development of redox‐active, oligonucleotide‐based diagnostics or optical sensors.
