| Abstract: | Diazido derivatives of 3,6‐diamino acridine (proflavine) intercalate into DNA and undergo functionalization through click chemistry to form 1D nanostructures with redox active, conductive nanowire, and fluorescent properties. This two‐step approach, intercalation followed by click modification allows for the controlled decoration of DNA nanostructures. |
