While the relevant bulk main group metal ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+) are predominantly important in keeping base pairs in register and/or allowing the formation of particular specific RNA structures, transition metal ions, and specifically the soft ones, display a pronounced affinity for donor atoms of the heterocyclic nucleobases as part of nucleic acids. Their nature in fact provides a large number of different binding patterns, including specific cross-links and/or the formation of cyclic entities and/or cages. This review article summarizes constructs obtained this way, without over-emphasizing their biological relevance. Nevertheless, it can be claimed that in a number of cases model findings have preceded their discoveries in biorelevant events. 000150450 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000150450 590__ $$a1.9$$b2022 000150450 591__ $$aCHEMISTRY, INORGANIC & NUCLEAR$$b26 / 42 = 0.619$$c2022$$dQ3$$eT2 000150450 592__ $$a0.279$$b2022 000150450 593__ $$aPhysical and Theoretical Chemistry$$c2022$$dQ3 000150450 593__ $$aMaterials Chemistry$$c2022$$dQ3 000150450 594__ $$a3.0$$b2022 000150450 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000150450 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8220-6031$$aSanz Miguel, Pablo J.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000150450 7102_ $$12010$$2760$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
