Over the last two decades, guanosine-related molecules have been of interest in different areas, ranging from structural biology to medicinal chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. The guanine base is a multiple hydrogen-bonding unit, capable also of binding to cations, and fits very well with contemporary studies in supramolecular chemistry, self-assembly and non-covalent synthesis. This Concepts article, after reviewing on the diversification of self-organised assemblies from guanosine-based low-molecular-weight molecules, will mainly focus on the use of guanine moiety as a potential scaffold for designing functional materials of tailored physical properties.
