Abstract

In the beginning of this thesis, a general introduction is given to explain the main aspects of supramolecular polymers, the structure of the DNA and the advantages of combining the two into supramolecular assemblies and in the last part of the introduction, the light-harvesting systems will be discussed. Thereafter the experimental work of this thesis will be presented and can be separated into two main parts: In the first part, the formation and investigation of functionalized supramolecular assemblies of polyaromatic oligophosphates will be shown. In the second part, the energy transfer in DNA-assembled oligochromophores will be presented and discussed. The first main part consists of three projects with the same goal: the functionalization of supramolecular polymers of polyaromatic oligophosphates. In one of the project, the formation and investigation of DNA-modified vesicles will be discussed. In the last chapter of this part, an extension of previous studies of the group Häner will be shown, which is the incorporation of a photocleaver into a pyrene DNA-conjugate and the formation of DNA-modified fibres.
