  abstract  = {Die Logik der bisher erforschten und beschriebenen Management- und F{\"u}hrungstheorien m{\"u}ssen sich im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung weiterentwickeln. Die urspr{\"u}ngliche Forschungsfrage nach einer wirksamen Implementierung von strategischen Entscheidungen passt nicht mehr zur Realit{\"a}t von disruptiven Ver{\"a}nderungen in der sogenannten VUCA Welt (Volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). Die Arbeit ist mutig und wertvoll, weil sie die L{\"u}cke zwischen neuen Entwicklungen in der Praxis und fehlenden umfassenden Theoriekonzepten in den Management-, F{\"u}hrungs- und Organisationswissenschaften offenlegt und zu schließen hilft. Der erste Teil der Arbeit fasst die aktuellen Erkenntnisse rund um strategische Entscheidungsfindung in Unternehmen, globale Megatrends als Rahmenbedingung und Change-Management als Umsetzungshilfe zusammen. Die Schlussfolgerung aus dieser holistischen Betrachtung ist, dass die Forschungsfrage r{\"u}ckw{\"a}rts gerichtet die Realit{\"a}t des 20. Jahrhunderts adressiert und f{\"u}r das Zeitalter der Digitalisierung keine hilfreiche Antwort bietet. Vielmehr geht es um die weiter entwickelte Forschungsfrage, wie anpassungsf{\"a}hige Organisationen entwickelt und gepflegt werden k{\"o}nnen. Solche Organisationen {\"u}berleben disruptive Ver{\"a}nderungen nicht nur irgendwie, sondern sind so gestaltet, dass sie diese nutzen, um immer wieder neue Antworten auf sich entwickelnde Kundenbed{\"u}rfnisse und in der internen Organisation zu finden. Diese anpassungsf{\"a}hige oder adaptive Organisation hat f{\"u}nf wesentliche Dimensionen, die im zentralen Teil der Arbeit beleuchtet werden. Alle Themen entwickeln sich derzeit laufend weiter, so dass es noch keine letztg{\"u}ltige Antwort gibt welche Methoden sich durchsetzen werden. Im Sinne eines holistischen Transformationsmanagements gibt das letzte Kapitel Hinweise auf die Herangehensweise, um die eigene Organisation in ihrer Anpassungsf{\"a}higkeit weiter zu entwickeln. Die gr{\"u}ndliche Diskussion einer F{\"u}lle von konzeptionellen Ans{\"a}tzen in Verbindung mit einer bemerkenswerten Erfahrung der Autorin erlaubt es, die auftretende Problemstellung profunder anzugehen als bei einer rein akademischen Herangehensweise.},

  abstract  = {For decades autonomy has been utilised as a concept in various social sciences, like sociology, political science, law and philosophy. Certain concepts of autonomy have always reflected the needs of the respective disciplines that made use of the term, but also ever infringed on the interpretation of autonomy in other disciplines. Most notably, conceptualisations of international and constitutional law have found their way into bordering sciences, like political science. The result: a legal positivist view prevailing in the conceptualisations of autonomy within political and administrative sciences. As this working paper points out, this perspective does not do justice to the complex phenomenon autonomy is or may be in social and political reality. Hence, the paper argues for a differentiated concept of autonomy, splitting it into autonomy claims, actors, process, rights and powers, regimes, and their institutions. The empirical world suggests a salience of formally and informally lived types of autonomy, especially in Latin America, due to the region's indigenous population often living outside of, or within the limited reach of the state. Therefore, the paper aims to incorporate the dimension of informality - lacking in previous legal positivist approaches. Autonomy regimes could be entrenched in international, constitutional, or secondary law, or they could be tolerated by the state or seized by autonomy claimants by force. From a theoretical or conceptual perspective, the dimension of (in)formality facilitates the incorporation of autonomy into the discussion on governance and government, mostly on the local or regional level. Thus, the paper establishes autonomy regimes as a concept located at the verges of (self-)government and (self-)governance.},

  abstract  = {Squaraine dyes have attracted more attention in the past decade due to their strong and narrow absorption and fluorescence along with the easily functionalized molecular structure. One successful approach of core functionalization is to replace one oxygen of the squaric carbonyl group with a dicyanomethylene group, which shifts the absorption and emission into the near infrared (NIR) region and at the same time leads to a rigid, planar structure with C2v symmetry. However, such squaraines tend to aggregate cofacially in solution due to dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions, usually leading to H-type exciton coupling with undesired blue-shifted spectrum and quenched fluorescence. Therefore, the goal of my research was the design of dicyanomethylene-substituted squaraine dyes that self-assemble into extended aggregates in solution with J-type coupling, in order to retain or even enhance their outstanding optical properties. Toward this goal, bis(squaraine) dyes were envisioned with two squaraine units covalently linked to trigger a slip-stacked packing motif within the aggregates to enable J-type coupling. In my first project, bis(squaraine) dye BisSQ1 was synthesized, in which two dicyanomethylene squaraine chromophores are covalently linked. Concentration and temperature-dependent UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy experiments reveal that BisSQ1 undergoes cooperative self-assembly resulting in J-type aggregates in a solvent mixture of toluene/1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE) (98:2, v/v). The J type exciton coupling is evident from the significantly red shifted absorption maximum at 886 nm and the fluorescence peak at 904 nm. In conclusion, this was a first example to direct squaraine dye aggregation in solution to the more desired slip-stacked packing leading to J-type exciton coupling by simply connecting two dyes in a head-to-tail bis chromophore structure. Connecting two squaraine dyes with an additional phenylene spacer (BisSQ2) leads to two different polymorphs with very distinct absorption spectra upon cooling down a solution of BisSQ2 in a solvent mixture of toluene/TCE (98:2, v/v) with different rates. Accordingly, rapid cooling resulted in rigid helical nanorods with an absorption spectrum showing a panchromatic feature, while slow cooling led to a sheet-like structure with a significant bathochromic shift in the absorption spectrum. It was discovered that the conventional molecular exciton model failed to explain the panchromatic absorption features of the nanorods for the given packing arrangement, therefore more profound theoretical investigations based on the Essential States Model (ESM) were applied to unveil the importance of intermolecular charge transfer (ICT) to adequately describe the panchromatic absorption spectrum. Moreover, the red-shift observed in the spectrum for the sheet-like structure can be assigned to the interplay of Coulomb coupling and ICT-mediated coupling. Furthermore, the same bis-chromophore strategy was adopted for constructing an NIR-II emitter with a bathochromically-shifted spectrum. In chloroform, BisSQ3 exhibits an absorption maximum at 961 nm with a significant bathochromic shift (1020 cm-1) compared to the reference mono-squaraine SQ, indicating intramolecular J-type coupling via head-to-tail arrangement of two squaraine dyes. Moreover, BisSQ3 shows a fluorescence peak at 971 nm with a decent quantum yield of 0.33\%. In less polar toluene, BisSQ3 self-assembles into nanofibers with additional intermolecular J-type coupling, causing a pronounced bathochromic shift with absorption maximum at 1095 nm and a fluorescence peak at 1116 nm. Thus, connecting two quinoline-based squaraines in a head-to-tail fashion leads to not only intra-, but also intermolecular J-type exciton coupling, which serves as a promising strategy to shift the absorption and emission of organic fluorophores into the NIR-II window while retaining decent quantum yields. In conclusion, my research illustrates based on squaraine dyes how a simple modification of the molecular structure can significantly affect the aggregation behavior and further alter the optical properties of dye aggregates. Elongated supramolecular structures based on dicyanomethylene substituted squaraine dyes were successfully established by covalently linking two squaraine units to form a bis-chromophore structure. Then, a simple but efficient general approach was established to direct squaraine dye aggregation in solution to the more desired slip-stacked packing leading to J-type exciton coupling by directly connecting two squaraine dyes in a head-to-tail fashion without spacer units. Moreover, the additional spacer between the squaraine dyes in BisSQ2 allowed different molecular conformations, which leads to two different morphologies depending on the cooling rates for a hot solution. Hence, this is a promising strategy to realize supramolecular polymorphism. In general, it is expected that the concept of constructing J-aggregates by the bis-chromophore approach can be extended to entirely different classes of dyes since J-aggregates possess a variety of features such as spectral shifts into the NIR window, fluorescence enhancement, and light harvesting, which are commonly observed and utilized for numerous fundamental studies and applications. Moreover, the insights on short-range charge transfer coupling for squaraine dyes is considered of relevance for all materials based on alternating donor-acceptor π-systems. The panchromatic spectral feature is in particular crucial for acceptor-donor-acceptor (ADA) dyes, which are currently considered as very promising materials for the development of bulk heterojunction solar cells.},

  abstract  = {The objective of this thesis focuses on the development of strategies for precise control of perylene bisimide (PBI) self-assembly and the in-depth elucidation of structural and optical features of discrete PBI aggregates by means of NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. The strategy for discrete dimer formation of PBIs is based on delicate steric control that distinguishes the two facets of the central perylene surface. The strategy applied in this thesis for accessing discrete PBI quadruple and further oligomeric stacks relies on backbone-directed PBI self-assembly. For this purpose, two tweezer-like PBI dyads bearing the respective rigid backbones, diphenylacetylene (DPA) and diphenylbutydiyne (DPB), were synthesized. The distinct aggregation behavior of these structurally similar PBI dyads can be ascribed to the intramolecular distance between the two PBI chromophores imparted by the DPA and DPB spacers.},

  abstract  = {Chlorophylls are the most important pigments owing to their involvement in photosynthesis. They perform multiple functions that arise due to their optical and redox as well as packing properties. Semisynthetic zinc chlorins investigated in this thesis are the counterparts for the natural protein-free bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c assemblies in light-harvesting (LH) systems in bacterial chlorosomes. The major advantage of the zinc chlorin model compounds over the native BChls lies in their facile semisynthetic accessibility from chlorophyll a (Chl a), their higher chemical stability and the possibility to influence their packing by suitable chemical modifications of peripheral side chains. Whilst the favorable excitonic properties and the suitability of ZnChl and natural BChl c dye aggregates for long distance exciton transport are well documented, charge transport properties of aggregates of semisynthetic ZnChls are hitherto unexplored. The present study involves structural elucidations of aggregates of a variety of semisynthetic zinc chlorin derivatives in solution, in solid state and on surfaces by combination of spectroscopic, crystallographic and microscopic techniques, followed by investigation of charge transport properties and conductivities of these aggregates. Chart 1 shows the different ZnChls synthesized in this work that are functionalized with hydroxy or methoxy substituents at 31 position and contain different substituents at the 172-position benzyl ester functional group. The self-assembly of these dyes is strongly dependent upon their chemical structures. While ZnChls 1a, 2a, 3, which are functionalized with 31-hydroxy group bearing dodecyl and oligoethylene glycol side chains form well-soluble rod aggregates, the corresponding 31-methoxy functionalized counterparts 1b, 2b form stacks in solution and on surfaces. These supramolecular polymers have been studied in detail in Chapter 3 by UV/Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). These studies provided useful insights into the aggregation process of these two types of aggregates. Whereas 31-hydroxy functionalized ZnChl 1a self-assemble into rod aggregates via an isodesmic mechanism, corresponding stack aggregates of ZnChl 1b are formed by a cooperative nucleation-elongation pathway. Detailed electron microscopic studies such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) provided unequivocal evidence for hollow tubular nanostructures of water-soluble 31-hydroxy zinc chlorin 3 aggregates for the first time. The measured tube diameter of ~ 5-6 nm of these aggregates is in excellent agreement with electron microscopy data of BChl c rod aggregates in chlorosomes (Chloroflexus aurantiacus, diameter ~ 5-6 nm) and thus complied with the tubular model postulated by Holzwarth and Schaffner... In concord with their highly organized structures, micrometer-scale one dimensionality, robust nature and efficient charge transport capabilities, these self-assembled ZnChl nanotubular, stack and liquid crystalline assemblies are highly promising for supramolecular electronic applications. Research efforts in utilizing these assemblies for (opto)electronic device fabrication, for instance, in organic field effect transistors, should thus be rewarding in the future...},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit den strukturellen Aspekten einer adsorbat-induzierten Facettierung von vizinalen Ag(111)-Oberfl{\"a}chen. Bei dem Adsorbat handelte es sich um das organische Molek{\"u}l Perylen-3,4,9,10-Tetracarbons{\"a}ure-Dianhydrid (PTCDA). Die Experimente wurden unter Ultrahochvakuum-Bedingungen durchgef{\"u}hrt, die Charakterisierung erfolgte haupts{\"a}chlich mit den Messmethoden Rastertunnelmikroskopie (STM) und niederenergetische Elektronenbeugung (LEED). Das planare Farbstoffmolek{\"u}l PTCDA adsorbiert pr{\"a}ferentiell an den Stufenkanten der verwendeten 8.5° Ag(111)-Vizinaloberfl{\"a}chen und induziert bei geeigneten Pr{\"a}parationsbedingungen eine Rekonstruktion in stark gestufte Facettenfl{\"a}chen und in stufenfreie (111)-Terrassen. Die beobachteten Facetten sind f{\"u}r das System PTCDA/Ag charakteristisch und stellen durch eine molekulare {\"U}berstruktur richtungsselektiv stabilisierte Ag-Kristallebenen dar. Durch die Variation der Stufenrichtung der Startoberfl{\"a}che wurde eine Vielzahl von Facettentypen erhalten und nach Miller indiziert. In ihrer Gesamtheit erlauben sie einen R{\"u}ckschluss auf das Aussehen der Gleichgewichtskristallform eines mit PTCDA bedeckten Ag-Kristalles und damit auf das richtungsabh{\"a}ngige Benetzungsverhalten von Ag. Aus der Sicht des Substrates bewirkt das Adsorbat eine massive Erh{\"o}hung der Steifheit der Stufen. Die durch eine molekulare {\"U}berstruktur stabilisierten Facettenfl{\"a}chen {\"u}bernehmen die in der Kristallstruktur des Substrates angelegten Stufenrichtungen. Die gefundene Ausbildung von zwei typischen Facettensteigungen ist jedoch nicht durch die Ag-Kristallstruktur motivierbar. Die Facettierung wurde im Rahmen einer speziellen Adaption des Konzepts der Thermodynamik auf ebene gestufte Oberfl{\"a}chen als Orientierungsphasenseparation beschrieben. Dieses Konzept erlaubt eine korrekte Beschreibung der beobachteten lokalen Ph{\"a}nomene und zeigt zudem auf, dass das molekulare Gas, welches in den Messungen nicht erfasst wurde, eine wichtige Rolle bei der Rekonstruktion spielt. Es ergaben sich wichtige Indizien f{\"u}r die Existenz einer kritischen Inselgr{\"o}ße f{\"u}r PTCDA auf Ag(111). Es wurde eine vollst{\"a}ndige strukturelle Analyse aller stabilen molekularen {\"U}berstrukturen auf vizinalen Ag(111)-Oberfl{\"a}chen durchgef{\"u}hrt. Es wurden insgesamt 16 solcher {\"U}berstrukturen gefunden, von denen bisher nur 3 Strukturen bekannt und ver{\"o}ffentlicht waren. Dichte und Kommensurabilit{\"a}t der Facetten{\"u}berstrukturen sind systematisch vom Stufentyp der Oberfl{\"a}che abh{\"a}ngig. Die Frage nach dem Ursprung der beiden charakteristischen Facettensteigungen ist mit der Existenz von zwei Typen von {\"U}berstrukturgrenzen verkn{\"u}pft. Die Grenze bestimmt die Lage der fischgr{\"a}tartigen {\"U}berstruktur zu den Stufenkanten und die L{\"a}nge und die Breite des Molek{\"u}ls die beiden charakteristischen Stufenabst{\"a}nde. Letzteres geschieht verm{\"o}ge einer lokalen Wechselwirkung der PTCDA-Molek{\"u}le mit den Stufen. Die {\"U}berstrukturgrenzen erweisen sich als wichtiges Element der Rekonstruktion. Es wurden außerdem die Abh{\"a}ngigkeiten der verschiedenen, aneinander angrenzenden {\"U}berstrukturen aufgezeigt. Auf den (111)-Terrassen fanden sich 3 metastabile Ausnahme-Strukturen, welche einen vertieften Einblick in die komplexe Bildungskinetik der bisher bekannten stabilen (111)-Struktur erlauben. Die Facetten bilden zusammen mit den benachbarten (111)-Terrassen regelm{\"a}ßige, einem Reflexionsgitter {\"a}hnliche Muster mit einer Strukturweite von 5 bis 75nm. Die beobachteten Strukturweiten erreichen bei ausgedehntem Tempern typische Maximalwerte. STM-Messungen zeigen den Einfluss einer langreichweitigen Wechselwirkung zwischen den Facetten, vermittelt {\"u}ber elastische Eigenschaften des Substrates. Die Muster k{\"o}nnen als selbstorganisierte Zweiphasensysteme im thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht erkl{\"a}rt werden. Die Facetten wirken wie repulsiv wechselwirkende Defekte in einem elastischen Medium. Die Eignung dieser Muster als Templat wurde in Kooperation mit einer anderen Arbeitsgruppe am Beispiel der selektiven Deposition von Eisen belegt.},

  abstract  = {Civil society organizations only started to be considered a sector in the 1970s in the United States. Amitai Etzioni pioneered the use of the expression third sector, which became common in academic and political literature. However, in the United States, the non-profit sector concept gradually became more robust and was spread internationally based on the studies conducted by Lester Salomon and associated researchers. The theory built on the concept of the non-profit sector is strongly related to the North American cultural context, marked by the tradition of philanthropy and volunteerism, but with little importance given to associative and cooperative organizations. The non-profit sector is implicitly or explicitly conceived as part of the private sphere. In contrast, theoretical currents such as liberal communitarianism, the theories of cooperation, common goods, social capital, European social economy, and the Latin American solidarity economy highlight the primacy of cooperation in solving collective problems. These theories underpin the associative approach of the third sector and link it to the community, not to the market. This paper argues that the associative approach is more appropriate for international studies on the third sector and the relevance of self-organization. The third sector, i.e., the set of organizations created and maintained by civil society, is the inheritor of the millennial associative tradition, including both entities whose values are compatible with the common good and those with particularistic values, authoritarian and contrary to human rights. The third sector is not entirely virtuous, but it is a vital sector for solving great human problems.},

  abstract  = {Inspired by the fact that sufficient solubility in aqueous media can be achieved by functional substitution of perylene bisimides (PBIs) with polar groups, one of the essential aims of this thesis was the design and successful synthesis of the new water-soluble PBI cyclophanes [2PBI]-1m and [2PBI]-1p, which are appended with branched, hydrophilic oligoethylene glycol (OEG) chains. Subsequently, the focus was set on the elucidation of properties of PBI cyclophane hosts which are also of relevance for recognition processes in biological systems. The performance of the new amphiphilic PBI cyclophane [2PBI]-1p as synthetic receptors for various natural aromatic alkaloids in aqueous media was thoroughly investigated. Alkaloids represent a prominent class of ubiquitous nitrogen containing natural compounds with a great structural variety and diverse biological activity. As of yet, no chromophore host acting as a molecular probe for a range of alkaloids such as harmine or harmaline is known. In addition, the self-association behavior of cyclophane host [2PBI]-1m and its reference monomer in water was studied in order to gain insights into the thermodynamic driving forces affecting the self-assembly process of these two PBI systems in aqueous environment. Moreover, the chirality transfer upon guest binding previously observed for a PBI cyclophane was investigated further. The assignment of the underlying mechanism of guest recognition to either the induced fit or conformational selection model was of particular interest.},
