  abstract  = {Tropische Pflanzen gelten als wertvolle Quellen biologisch aktiver Sekund{\"a}rmetaboliten. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden mehrere tropische Arten unter verschiedenen naturstoffchemischen Gesichtspunkten bearbeitet. Einen Schwerpunkt bildeten die tropischen Lianenfamilien der Ancistrocladaceen und Dioncophyllaceen. Diese produzieren die Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide, Biarylnaturstoffe mit faszinierenden strukturellen und pharmakologischen Eigenschaften. In dieser Arbeit wurde die Biogenese der Naphthylisochinolinalkaloide am Beispiel von Dioncophyllin A aus Triphyophyllum peltatum mittels Verf{\"u}tterung von [13C2]-Acetat untersucht. 13C-NMR-Experimente offenbarten einen Einbau von diskreten [13C2]-Einheiten im ganzen Kohlenstoffger{\"u}st. Damit sind die Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide die ersten bekannten Tetrahydroisochinolin-Alkaloide mit einem polyketidischen Ursprung. Als weiteres Forschungsobjekt diente das strukturell und biogenetisch hochinteressante Pyridon-Alkaloid Antidesmon aus Antidesma membranaceum. Untersuchungen zur Biogenese f{\"u}hrten zur Entdeckung eines neuen Biogeneseweges. Antidesmon wird ebenfalls aus einer Polyketid-Vorstufe gebildet. {\"U}berraschenderweise dient Glycin als Vorstufe f{\"u}r einen C2N-Baustein. Im analytischen Bereich standen der Einsatz und die methodische Verbesserung der online-"Triade" HPLC-MS/MS, HPLC-NMR und HPLC-CD im Vordergrund. Diese neuen Techniken dienten im Anschluß der phytochemischen Untersuchung verschiedener Pflanzenextrakte. Nach der erstmaligen online-Analyse von Ancistrocladus griffithii wurden drei neue Alkaloide, Ancistrogriffin A, B und C, detektiert und strukturell aufgekl{\"a}rt. Weiterhin wurde das erste dimere Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloid aus einer asiatischen Ancistrocladus-Spezies, Ancistrogriffithin A, detektiert und vor seiner Isolierung strukturell mit online-Methoden aufgekl{\"a}rt.},

  abstract  = {Durch stetige Entwicklung der Mikroskopiemethoden in den letzten Jahrzehnten ist es nun m{\"o}glich Strukturen und Abl{\"a}ufe in biologischen Systemen detaillierter darzustellen als mit der von Abbe entdeckten maximalen Aufl{\"o}sungsgrenze. Oft werden dabei Fluoreszenzmarker benutzt, welche die unsichtbare Welt der Mikrobiologie und deren biochemische Prozesse illuminieren. Diese werden entweder durch Expression, wie z.B. das gr{\"u}n fluoreszierende Protein (GFP), in das zu untersuchende Objekt eingebracht oder durch klassische Markierungsmethoden mithilfe von fluoreszierenden Immunkonjugaten installiert. Jedoch gewinnt eine alternative Strategie, die von der interdisziplin{\"a}ren Zusammenarbeit zwischen Chemikern, Physikern und Biologen profitiert, immer mehr an Bedeutung - die bioorthogonale Click-Chemie. Sie erm{\"o}glicht eine effiziente Fluoreszenzmarkierung der biologischen Strukturen unter minimalem Eingriff in die Abl{\"a}ufe der Zelle. Dazu m{\"u}ssen allerdings sowohl Farbstoffe als auch die biologisch aktiven Substanzen chemisch modifiziert werden, da nur dadurch die Bioorthogonalit{\"a}t gew{\"a}hrleistet werden kann. Mittlerweile existiert eine breite Palette an fluoreszierenden Farbstoffen, die das komplette sichtbare Spektrum abdecken und sich f{\"u}r diverse Mikroskopiemethoden eignen. Allerdings gibt es zwei Farbstoffklassen, die sich aus der gesamten F{\"u}lle abheben und sich f{\"u}r hochaufl{\"o}sende bildgebende Experimente auf Einzelmolek{\"u}lebene eignen. Zum einen ist es die Farbstofffamilie der Cyanine und insbesondere der wasserl{\"o}slichen Pentamethincyanine, die reversibel und kontrolliert zum Photoschalten animiert werden k{\"o}nnen und in der stochastisch optischen Rekonstruktionsmikroskopie Anwendung finden. Zum anderen ist es die Gruppe, der Rhodamine und Fluoresceine, die zu Xanthenfarbstoffen geh{\"o}ren und sich durch gute photophysikalische Eigenschaften auszeichnen. Trotz der Beliebtheit stellt ihre Darstellung immer noch eine Herausforderung dar und limitiert deren Einsatz. Deshalb war es notwendig im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit M{\"o}glichkeiten zur Syntheseoptimierung beider Farbstoffklassen zu finden, damit diese im Folgenden weiterentwickelt und an die biologische Fragestellung angepasst werden k{\"o}nnen. Die Arbeit unterteilt sich deshalb in Relation an die oben genannten Farbstoffklassen in zwei Bereiche. Im ersten Teil wurden Projekte basierend auf den wasserl{\"o}slichen Pentamethincyaninen behandelt. Im zweiten Teil besch{\"a}ftigte sich die Arbeit mit Projekten, die auf Xanthen-Farbstoffen aufbauen.},

For low temperatures, the aggregates can be treated as infinite chains and the dynamics is dominated by diffusion-driven exciton-exciton annihilation. With increasing temperature the aggregates dissociate into small fragments consisting of very few monomers. This scenario is also supported by the time-dependent anisotropy deduced from polarization-dependent experiments.},

  abstract  = {The minimum energy path for the reaction O(\(^3\)P\(_g\)) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\)(\(^1\)A\(_g\)) has been calculated by optimizing all relevant geometrical parameters along the approach of oxygen to ethene. A barrier of 4.7 kcal/mol in the \(^3\)A"( ... 9a'\(^2\)- 10a'3a") potential energy surface and an energy difference of 14.4 kcal/mol between the product and the fragments is found at the multireference-configuration interaction level. The corresponding values at the lower-level treatment CASSCF are 9 kcal/mol for the barrier and 9 kcal/mol for the depth of the potential; this shows the importance of inclusion of electron correlation. The barrier for CH\(_2\) rotation for the lowestenergy structure (asymmetric OC\(_2\)H\(_4\)) is around 5 kcal/mol. The energy gap to the first excited state \(^3\)A'( ... 9a'l0a'3a'12) is found tobe 3.6 kcal/mol in MRD-CI calculations at the ground-state minimum. Comparison with \(^3\)CH\(_2\) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) shows that in this system the lowest-energy surface is \(^3\)A', i.e., the state which is the excited state in 0 + C\(_2\)H\(_4\). This difference in energy ordering of \(^3\)A' and \(^3\)A" states results from the fact that the p\(_x\), p\(_y\), p\(_z\) degeneracy of oxygen orbitals is lifted in \(^3\)CH\(_2\)leading to b\(_1\), b\(_2\). and a\(_1\) MOs whereby the lowest b\(_2\) (a") remains doubly occupied; as a consequence, the reaction pattem between the oxygen and \(^3\)CH\(_2\) approach is different, which is also quite apparent in the calculated charge transfer.},

  abstract  = {Designing highly efficient purely organic phosphors at room temperature remains a challenge because of fast non-radiative processes and slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rates. The majority of them emit only single component phosphorescence. Herein, we have prepared 3 isomers (o, m, p-bromophenyl)-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boranes. Among the 3 isomers (o-, m- and p-BrTAB) synthesized, the ortho-one is the only one which shows dual phosphorescence, with a short lifetime of 0.8 ms and a long lifetime of 234 ms in the crystalline state at room temperature. Based on theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis of o-BrTAB, the short lifetime component is ascribed to the T\(^M_1\) state of the monomer which emits the higher energy phosphorescence. The long-lived, lower energy phosphorescence emission is attributed to the T\(^A_1\) state of an aggregate, with multiple intermolecular interactions existing in crystalline o-BrTAB inhibiting nonradiative decay and stabilizing the triplet states efficiently.},

  abstract  = {Boric acid (BA) has been used as a transparent glass matrix for optical materials for over 100 years. However, recently, apparent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from BA (crystalline and powder states) was reported (Zheng et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 9500) when irradiated at 280 nm under ambient conditions. We suspected that RTP from their BA sample was induced by an unidentified impurity. Our experimental results show that pure BA synthesized from B(OMe)\(_{3}\) does not luminesce in the solid state when irradiated at 250-400 nm, while commercial BA indeed (faintly) luminesces. Our theoretical calculations show that neither individual BA molecules nor aggregates would absorb light at >175 nm, and we observe no absorption of solid pure BA experimentally at >200 nm. Therefore, it is not possible for pure BA to be excited at >250 nm even in the solid state. Thus, pure BA does not display RTP, whereas trace impurities can induce RTP.},

The investigated species combine Ru(II)- with Os(II)- and Fe(II)-terpyridyl chromophores, the latter acting as energy sinks. Due to the extended conjugated system the ligands are able to prolong the lifetime of the \(^3\)MLCT states compared to unsubstituted terpyridyl species by delocalization and energetic stabilization of the \(^3\)MLCT states. This concept is applied for the first time to Fe(II) terpyridyl species and results in an exceptionally long lifetime of 23 ps for the Fe(II) \(^3\)MLCT state. While partial energy (>80\%) transfer is observed between the Ru(II) and Fe(II) centers with a time-constant of 15 ps, excitation energy is transferred completely from the Ru(II) to the Os(II) center within the first 200 fs after excitation.},

Our investigations showed that the catalytic activities of these Ru macrocycles are significantly affected by the choice of photosensitizer (PS) and reaction media, in addition to buffer concentration, light intensity and concentration of the sensitizer. Our steady-state and transient spectroscopic studies revealed that the photocatalytic performance of trinuclear Ru(bda) macrocycles is not limited by their intrinsic catalytic activities but rather by the efficiency of photogeneration of oxidant PS\(^+\) and its ability to act as an oxidizing agent to the catalysts as both are strongly dependent on the choice of photosensitizer and the amount of employed organic co-solvent.},

Moreover, all these compounds were filtered based on ADME analysis to determine their physicochemical properties, and 15 compounds were selected. The selected compounds were virtually investigated for potential inhibition for SARS-CoV-2 targets using molecular docking studies.
