  • Publication number: 20090259030
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new class of solids supports for synthesis of modified oligomers of nucleic acids, and nucleic acid probes that have a format expediently synthesized on the new supports. Exemplary solid supports include at least one quencher bound through a linker to the solid support. Various exemplary embodiments include a moiety that stabilizes a duplex, triplex or higher order aggregation (e.g., hybridization) of nucleic acids of which the oligomer of the invention is a component. Other components of the solid support include moieties that stabilize aggregations of nucleic acids, e.g., intercalators, minor groove binding moieties, bases modified with a stabilizing moiety (e.g., alkynyl moieties, and fluoroalkyl moieties), and conformational stabilizing moieties, such as those described in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0059752.

  • Publication number: 20090067030
    Abstract: Green electrochromic (EC) materials based on thiophene, and a green EC material based on pyrazine are disclosed. A first thiophene derivative (2,3-Di-thiophen-2-yl-thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine), which was previously investigated as a nonlinear optical material, is here disclosed for its use as an EC material and for its incorporation into an EC device. Synthesis of two new thiophene derivatives (2,5-di(thien-2-yl)-3,4-di(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-thiophene and 2,5-(2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-3,4-di(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-thiophene), and a new pyrazine derivative (2,3-dibenzyl-5,7-di(thien-2-yl)thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine) are also disclosed, since these materials are all able to selectively change state to appear a green color and can be polymerized to achieve a green EC polymer.
