The bottom-up organization of functional materials with nanoscale precision is a central goal for the development of future sensors, machines, and devices.[1] Underpinning these developments has been the rapid progression of DNA-guided processes,[2] which uniquely provides an addressable template for the placement of molecular components in discrete one-, two-, and three-dimensional assemblies.[1d, 3] However, the incorporation of multiple molecular components such as fluorophores into such arrays reproducibly and with wellcontrolled molecular distances remains a formidable challenge.[4] Previous studies have highlighted the utility of DNA-based photonic wire systems,[5] however, these systems suffer from energy transfer (ET) losses associated with inefficient self-assembly of the appropriate communicating components along or within the DNA duplexes. In order to overcome these inefficiencies and provide the means to construct modular photonic wires of increasing complexity and addressability, we require tools which enable the exquisite control of the location and spatial arrangement of fluorophores within a DNA duplex.Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PAs) are a class of smallmolecule ligands which provide such control. PAs bind within the minor groove of duplex DNA, enabling one to target 6 to 10 base pair sequences with high binding affinity (nanomolar to subnanomolar) and specificity.[6] We surmised that interfacing the highly specific recognition properties of PAs with fluorophore relays, it would be possible to construct an addressable photonic wire model system where for the first time one could control the precise intercalation of a
