A review. The use of DNA networks as templates for forming nanoarrays of metallic centers shows an exciting potential to generate addressable nanostructures. Inorg. units can be photoactive, electroactive and/or can possess magnetic and catalytic properties and can adopt different spatial arrangements due to their varied coordination nature. All these properties influence both the structure and function of passive DNA scaffolds and provide DNA nanostructures as a new platform for new materials in emerging technologies, such as nanotechnol., biosensing or biocomputing.
