This 2′-deoxyriboside substitution provides high chemical stability and conformational flexibility for

• characterized a donor-acceptor dyad system involving tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) as electron donor attached by a flexible spacer to perylene derivatives as electron acceptor [5]. They have shown that the fluorescence of the tetrathiafulvalene–perylene derived dyad can be reversibly modulated by the transformation
