  abstract  = {The successful synthesis of a family of donor-iridium complex-acceptor triads (T1-T6, pMV1 and mMV1) and their electrochemical and photophysical properties were presented in this work. Triarylamines (TAA) were used as donors and naphthalene diimide (NDI) as acceptor. A bis-cyclometalated phenylpyrazole iridium dipyrrin complex acts as a photosensitiser. In addition, a molecular structure of T1 was obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Transient absorption spectroscopy experiments of these triads resembled that upon excitation a photoinduced electron transfer efficiently generates long-lived, charge-separated (CS) states. Thereby, the electron-transfer mechanism depends on the excitation energy. The presence of singlet and triplet CS states was clarified by magnetic-field dependent transient-absorption spectroscopy in the nanosecond time regime. It was demonstrated that the magnetic field effect of charge-recombination kinetics showed for the first time a transition from the coherent to the incoherent spin-flip regime. The lifetime of the CS states could be drastically prolonged by varying the spacer between the iridium complex and the NDI unit by using a biphenyl instead of a phenylene unit in T4. A mixed-valence (MV) state of two TAA donors linked to an iridium metal centre were generated upon photoexcitation of triad pMV1 and mMV1. The mixed-valence character in these triads was proven by the analysis of an intervalence charge-transfer (IV-CT) band in the (near-infrared) NIR spectral region by femtosecond pump-probe experiments. These findings were supported by TD-DFT calculations. The synthesis of dyads (D1-D4) was performed. Thereby the dipyrrin ligand was substituted with electron withdrawing groups. The electrochemical and photophysical characterisation revealed that in one case (D4) it was possible to generate a CS state upon photoexcitation.},

  abstract  = {The first part of the present work provides an insight into the chemistry of iridium complexes bearing the bis(phosphinite) pincer ligand tBuPOCOP (k3-C6H3-1,3-(OPtBu2)2) towards primary boranes and phosphines as well as phosphine-borane Lewis adducts. It furthermore encloses some more detailed studies on their application as catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of the latter compounds. The results presented herein can be divided into three sections: I. synthesis and characterization of aryl dihydroborate ligated iridium(III) complexes II. and aryl phosphine coordinated iridium(I) and dihydrido iridium(III) complexes, III. as well as studies on the reactivity of the parent iridium pincer complexes towards BH3 adducts of primary phosphines, which led to first results in the homogeneous catalytic dehydrocoupling of P-aryl substituted phosphine boranes mediated by such iridium pincer complexes. The second part of the present work provides an insight into the chemistry of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel complexes as well as it encloses some more detailed studies on the properties and reactivity of the free carbenes itself. The results presented herein can be divided into four sections: I. synthesis and characterization of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel carbonyl complexes, II. which allow the evaluation and quantification of the steric and electronic properties of these cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes, III. first studies on the reactivity of these novel nickel complexes, and IV. investigations on C-F and C-H bond activation at the carbene center of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes.},
