  abstract  = {This work aims at elucidating chemical processes involving homogeneous catalysis and photo-physical relaxation of excited molecules in the solid state. Furthermore, compounds with supposedly small singlet-triplet gaps and therefore biradicaloid character are investigated with respect to their electro-chemical behavior. The work on hydroboration catalysis via a reduced 9,10-diboraanthracene (DBA) was preformed in collaboration with the Wagner group in Frankfurt, more specifically Dr. Sven Prey, who performed all laboratory experiments. The investigation of delayed luminescence properties in arylboronic esters in their solid state was conducted in collaboration with the Marder group in W{\"u}rzburg. The author of this work took part in the synthesis of the investigated compounds while being supervised by Dr. Zhu Wu. The final project was a collaboration with the group of Anukul Jana from Hyderabad, India who provided the experimental data.},

  abstract  = {Die Fulmins{\"a}ure HCNO wurde zum ersten Mal im Jahre 1800 synthetisiert und wurde seitdem immer wieder verwendet, um neue chemische Konzepte und Theorien zu entwickeln. Durch die erstmalige Entdeckung der Fulmins{\"a}ure im Weltall im Jahr 2009 ist die Fulmins{\"a}ure heutzutage vor allem im Bereich der Astrochemie interessant. In dieser Doktorarbeit haben wir die Interaktion von Fulmins{\"a}ure mit interstellar Strahlung, genauer mit VUV- sowie weicher R{\"o}ntgenstrahlung untersucht. In Zuge der Messung mit VUV-Strahlung konnten wir das Photoelektronenspektrum von HCNO mit hoher Aufl{\"o}sung aufnehmen und den Renner-Teller verzerrten Grundzustand des Kations mit Hilfe von Wellenpaketdynamiksimulationen beschreiben. Außerdem konnten wir den Mechanismus der dissoziativen Photoionisation bis zu einer Bindungsenergie von 15.3 eV aufkl{\"a}ren. Mit weicher R{\"o}ntgenstrahlung ist es m{\"o}glich die 1s Elektronen des HCNO zu ionisieren oder anzuregen. Der erzeugte Zustand zerf{\"a}llt anschließend durch einen Auger-Meitner Prozess, bei dem ein Auger-Elektron erzeugt wird. Im Zuge der Auger-Elektronenspektroskopie haben wir die kinetische Energie dieser Elektronen gemessen und konnten mittels quantenchemischer Rechnung die beobachten Signale analysieren. Wir untersuchten außerdem, wie das durch den Auger-Meitner Prozess erzeugte Ion zerf{\"a}llt. Hier konnten wir eine Selektivit{\"a}t des Zerfalls beobachten, je nachdem welches der 1s Elektronen im ersten Schritt angeregt oder ionisiert wurde. Diese Beobachtung konnten wir durch ein einfaches thermodynamisches Argument erkl{\"a}ren. Diese Arbeit gibt also ein vollst{\"a}ndiges Bild {\"u}ber die Interaktion von HCNO mit ionisierender Strahlung. Die erhaltenen Daten k{\"o}nnten f{\"u}r die Beschreibung von HCNO im interstellaren Raum Bedeutung haben.},

  abstract  = {An electron-poor bowl-shaped naphthalimide-annulated corannulene with branched alkyl residues in the imide position was synthesized by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling annulation sequence. This dipolar compound exhibits strong absorption in the visible range along with a low-lying LUMO level at -3.85 eV, enabling n-type charge transport in organic thin-film transistors. Furthermore, we processed inverted bulk-heterojunction solar cells in combination with the two donor polymers PCE-10 and PM6 to achieve open-circuit voltages up to 1.04 V. By using a blend of the self-assembled naphthalimide-annulated corannulene and PCE-10, we were able to obtain a power conversion efficiency of up to 2.1\%, which is to the best of our knowledge the highest reported value for a corannulene-based organic solar cell to date.},

  abstract  = {Background: Melatonin (MLT) has many health implications, therefore it is of valuable importance to develop specific analytical methods for determination of MLT in the presence of its main contaminant, N-{2-[1-({3-[2-(acetylamino)ethyl]-5-methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl}methyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl]ethyl}acetamide (10). For development of these analytical methods, compound 10 had to be prepared in an adequate amount. Results: Compound 10 was synthesized in six steps starting from 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (1). Analytical performance of the proposed spectrofluorimetric methods was statistically validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision and specificity. The proposed methods were successfully applied for the assay of MLT in laboratory prepared mixtures containing up to 60 \% of compound 10 and in commercial MLT tablets with recoveries not less than 99.00 \%. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical additives and the results were favorably compared with those obtained by a reference method. Conclusions: This work describes simple, sensitive, and reliable second derivative spectrofluorimetric method in addition to two multivariate calibration methods, principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square (PLS), for the determination of MLT in the presence of compound 10.},

  abstract  = {Background It is well known that carbohydrates play fundamental roles in cell signaling and infection processes as well as tumor formation and progression. However, the interaction pathways and cellular receptors targeted by carbohydrates and glycoconjugates remain poorly examined and understood. This lack of research stems, at least to a major part, from accessibility problems of large, branched oligosaccharides. Results To test glycan - cell interactions in vitro, a variety of tailored oligosaccharides was synthesized chemo-enzymatically. Glycosyltransferases from the GRAS organisms Bacillus megaterium (SacB) and Aspergillus niger (Suc1) were used in this study. Substrate engineering of these glycosyltransferases generally acting on sucrose leads to the controlled formation of novel tailored di-, tri- and tetrasaccharides. Already industrially used as prebiotics in functional food, the immunogenic potential of novel oligosaccharides was characterized in this study. A differential secretion of CXCL8 and CCL2 was observed upon oligosaccharide co-cultivation with colorectal epithelial Caco-2 cells. Conclusion Pure carbohydrates are able to stimulate a cytokine response in human endothelial cells in vitro. The type and amount of cytokine secretion depends on the type of co-cultivated oligosaccharide.},

Optimal spatial near-field localization in gold nanoprisms and excitation switching is realized by applying a shift to the relative phase of the two polarization components. The achieved near-field switching confirms theoretical predictions, proves the applicability of predefined control rules in nanooptical light-matter interaction and reveals local mode interference to be an important control mechanism.},
