  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Dissertation besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Darstellung {\"U}bergangsmetall-substitutierter Silane und Untersuchungen zum Einfluss verschiedener {\"U}bergangsmetallsubstituenten auf die chemischen und spektroskopischen Eigenschaften dieser Klasse von Siliciumverbindungen. Dabei steht insbesondere die Synthese mehrfach metallierter Silanole und Siloxane im Vordergrund. A - Halogenierte Bis(metallo)silane: Durch schrittweise Umsetzung von HSiCl3 oder HSiCl2Me mit den {\"U}bergangsmetallaten Na[Fe(CO)2Cp] oder Li[W(CO)2PMe3Cp] wurden verschiedene bismetalliete Silane [LnM]2SiRCl (R = H, Me) aufgebaut. Durch weitere Derivatisierung konnten u.a. die Bis(ferrio)silane [Cp(OC)2Fe]2SiX2 (X = F, Cl, Br, I) dargestellt und z. T. durch R{\"o}ntgenstrukturen charakterisiert werden. Aus diesen Verbindungen lassen sich durch photochemische CO-Eliminierung die µ2-silylenverbr{\"u}ckten Komplexe [Cp(OC)Fe]2(µ2-CO)(µ2-SiRHal) (R = Me, Halogen) gewinnen. B - Bis(metallo)silanole und -siloxane: Die unter A hergestellten Verbindungen dienten als Vorstufen zur Synthese der neuen Bis(ferrio)silanole [Cp(OC)2Fe]2SiX(OH) (X = H, Cl, OH) und des hetero-bismetallierten Silanols [Cp(OC)2Fe][Cp(OC)2PMe3]SiMe(OH). Dabei konnte lediglich [Cp(OC)2Fe]2SiH(OH) durch Hydrolyse des entsprechenden halogenierten Bis(ferrio)silans hergestellt werden. Alle anderen Bis(metallo)silanole wurden durch Oxygenierung der jeweiligen SiH-funktionellen Vorstufen mit Hilfe von Dimethyldioxiran synthetisiert. Alle Bis(metallo)silanole sind stabil bez{\"u}glich Eigenkondensation, lassen sich aber mit ClSiMe2H in die entsprechenden Siloxane [LnM]2SiR(OSiMe2H) umwandeln. C - Co2(CO)2 assistierte Hydrolyse von Silanen: Die Umsetzung verschiedener Si-H-funktioneller Silane R3Si-H mit Dicobaltoctacarbonyl f{\"u}hrt unter H2-Entwicklung zu Cobaltio-Silanen R3Si-Co(CO)4. Diese besitzen eine extrem labile Si-CoBindung, welche sich durch zahlreiche protische Reagenzien spalten l{\"a}ßt. Es wurden u. a die Cobaltio-Silane Me3SiOSiMe2-Co(CO4), Me(OMe)2Si-Co(CO)4 und Ph2SiCo2(CO)7 generiert und durch Hydrolyse in verschiedene Silanole oder Siloxane {\"u}berf{\"u}hrt. Eine direkte hydrolytische SiH/SiOH-Umwandlung ist auch in Gegenwart katalytischer Mengen Co2(CO)8 m{\"o}glich und wurde u.a. zur Darstellung des Bis(ferrio)siloxanols [Cp(OC)2Fe]2Si(OH)(OSiMe2H) genutzt. D - DFT-Berechnungen an {\"U}bergangsmetallverbindungen von Silicium und Phosphor: Die Strukturen der dimeren Siloxygallane (RH2SiOGaMe2)2 (R = H, tBu) wurden theoretisch berechnet. Man findet eine starke Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Geometrie des zentralen viergliedrigen Ga-O-Ga-O-Ringes von Gr{\"o}ße und relativen Position der exocyclischen Substituenten R. Struktur- und NBO-Analyse des cyclischen Metallasiloxans Cp(OC)(H)Fe[SiMe2O]2SiMe2 belegen den Einfluß des Cp(OC)(H)Fe-Fragmentes auf Struktur und Bindungsverh{\"a}ltnisse des Heterosiloxan Ringes. Relative thermodynamische Stabilit{\"a}ten wurden f{\"u}r die diastereomeren Formen des kationischen Phosphankomplexe lk/ul-Cp*(OC)2Fe-P(Ph)(H)[CH(CO2Me)CH2CO2Me]+ und des µ2-silylenbr{\"u}ckten Eisenkomplexes cis/trans-[Cp(OC)Fe]2(µ2-CO)(µ2-SiH2) theoretisch berechnet.},

  abstract  = {Tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) is a polycyclic aromatic framework with a particularly rigid, C3v symmetrical, bowl-shaped core bearing three mutually fused indane wings. It has been discussed as a defect center for a nanographene by Kuck and colleagues. Therefore, extended TBTQ structures are promising models for saturated defect structures in graphene and graphene like molecules and could be used to investigate the role of defects for the electronic properties of graphene. With this motivation, three different pi-extended TBTQ derivatives have been synthesized in this work. Several different Scholl reaction conditions were tried to obtain fully annulated product of hexaphenyl substituted TBTQ. The desired benzannulated TBTQ derivative could not be obtained due to unfavourable electron density in the respective positions of the molecule and increased reactivity of the bay position of the precursor. As an another method for benzannulation is the on-surface synthesis of graphene flakes and can be carried out using electron beams e.g. in a tunneling microscope (STM). According to our previous research, the parent system TBTQ and centro-methyl TBTQ on silver and gold surfaces showed that the gas phase deposition of these molecules gives rise to the formation of highly ordered two-dimensional assemblies with unique structural features. This shows the feasibility for the formation of defective graphene networks starting from the parent structures. Therefore, the same deposition technique was used to deposit Me-TBTQ(OAc)3Ph6, and investigate the molecular self-assembly properties directly on the surface of Cu (111). In summary, the substrate temperature dependent self-assembly of Me-TBTQ(OAc)3Ph6 molecules on Cu(111), shows the following evolution of orientations. At room temperature, molecules form dimers, which construct a higher-coverage honeycomb lattice. Furthermore, one of the acetyl group located in the bay positions of the TBTQ core is cleaved and the remaining two induce the metal-molecule interaction. It was presumed that by increasing the temperature to 393 K, the remaining acetyl and methyl groups would beeliminated from the molecular structure.In addition, the smaller TBTQ-Ph6 molecules preferably lie flat on Cu(111) crystal and allowing the molecules to settle into a C3-symmetry and form a dense hexagonal structure.},

  abstract  = {As central components of life, DNA and RNA encode the genetic information. However, RNA performs several functions that exceed the competences stated in the 'central dogma of life'. RNAs undergo extensive post-transcriptional processing like chemical modifications. Among all classes of RNA, tRNAs are the most extensively modified. Their modifications are chemically diverse and vary from simple methylations (e.g. m3C, m6A) to more complex residues, like isopentenyl group (e.g. i6A, hypermodifications: e.g. ms2i6A) or even amino acids (e.g. t6A). Depending on their location within the overall structure, modifications can have an impact on tRNA stability and structure, as well as affinity for the ribosome and translation efficiency and fidelity. Given the importance of tRNA modifications new tools are needed for their detection and to study their recognition by proteins and enzymatic transformations. The chemical synthesis of these naturally occurring tRNA modifications as phosphoramidite building blocks is a prerequisite to incorporate the desired modification via solid-phase synthesis into oligonucleotides. With the help of the m3C, (ms2)i6A, and t6A oligonucleotides, the importance and impact of tRNA modifications was investigated in this thesis. To this end, the role of METTL8 as the methyltransferase responsible for the installation of the methyl group at C32 for mt-tRNAThr and mt-tRNASer(UCN) was resolved. Thereby, the respective adenosine modification on position 37 is essential for the effectiveness of the enzyme. Besides, by means of NMR analysis, CD spectroscopy, thermal denaturation experiments, and native page separation, the impact of m3C32 on the structure of the tRNA ASLs was shown. The modification appeared to fine-tune the tRNA structure to optimize mitochondrial translation. To investigate the regulation of the dynamic modification pathway of m3C, demethylation assays were performed with the modified tRNA-ASLs and the (α-KG)- and Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase ALKBH1 and ALKHB3. A demethylation activity of ALKBH3 on the mt-tRNAs was observed, even though it has so far only been described as a cytoplasmic enzyme. Whether this is physiologically relevant and ALKBH3 present a mitochondrial localization needs further validation. In addition, ALKBH1 was confirmed to not be able to demethylate m3C on mt-tRNAs, but indications for a deprenylation and exonuclease activity were found. Furthermore, the aforementioned naturally occurring modifications were utilized to find analytical tools that can determine the modification levels by DNAzymes, which cleave RNA in the presence of a specific modification. Selective DNA enzymes for i6A, as well as the three cytidine isomers m3C, m4C, and m5C have been identified and characterized. Besides the naturally occurring tRNA modifications, the investigation on artificially modified nucleosides is also part of this thesis. Nucleosides with specific properties for desired applications can be created by modifying the scaffold of native nucleosides. During the pandemic, the potential of antiviral nucleoside analogues was highlighted for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. For examinations of the potential drug-candidate Molnupiravir, the N4-hydroxycytidine phosphoramidite building block was synthesized and incorporated into several RNA oligonucleotides. A two-step model for the NHC-induced mutagenesis of SARS-CoV-2 was proposed based on RNA elongation, thermal denaturation, and cryo-EM experiments using the modified RNA strands with the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Two tautomeric forms of NHC enable base pairing with guanosine in the amino and with adenosine in the imino form, leading to error catastrophe after the incorporation into viral RNA. These findings were further corroborated by thermal melting curve analysis and NMR spectroscopy of the NHC-containing Dickerson Drew sequence. In conclusion, the anti-amino form in the NHC-G base pair was assigned by NMR analysis using a 15N-labeld NHC building block incorporated into the Dickerson Drew sequence. This thesis also addressed the synthesis of a 7-deazaguanosine crosslinker with a masked aldehyde as a diol linker for investigations of DNA-protein interactions. The diol functional group can be unmasked to release the reactive aldehyde, which can specifically form a covalent bond with amino acids Lys or Arg within the protein complex condensin. The incorporation of the synthesized phosphoramidite and triphosphate building blocks were shown and the functionality of the PCR product containing the crosslinker was demonstrated by oxidation and the formation of a covalent bond with a fluorescein label. The development of assays that detect changes in this methylation pattern of m6A could provide new insights into important biological processes. In the last project of this thesis, the influence of RNA methylation states on the structural properties of RNA was analyzed and a fluorescent nucleoside analog (8-vinyladenosine) as molecular tools for such assays was developed. Initial experiments with the fluorescent nucleoside analog N6-methyl-8-vinyladenosine (m6v8A) were performed and revealed a strong fluorescence enhancement of the free m6v8A nucleoside by the installation of the vinyl moiety at position 8. Overall, this thesis contributes to various research topics regarding the application of naturally occurring and artificial nucleoside analogues. Starting with the chemical synthesis of RNA and DNA modifications, this thesis has unveiled several open questions regarding the dynamic (de-)methylation pathway of m3C and the mechanism of action of molnupiravir through in-depth analysis and provided the basis for further investigations of the protein complex condensin, and a new fluorescent nucleoside analog m6v8A.},
