By applying caged thymidine residues, DNA duplexes were created in which Hg -mediated base pair formation can be triggered by irradiation with light. When a bidentate ligand was used as the complementary nucleobase, an unprecedented stepwise formation of different metal-mediated base pairs was achieved.
