As this field of research has developed tremendously, especially in the last five years, the first chapter provides an overview of the current state of knowledge. The influence of electronegative π-donor-substituents on the stability of the NHC alane adducts is examined in chapter 2. For this purpose, the carbene stabilized alanes (NHC)∙AlH3 (NHC = iPr2Im, Dipp2Im) were reacted with secondary amines of different steric demand and with phenols. The π-donor substituents saturate the Lewis acidic aluminium center and coordination of a second NHC-ligand was not observed. The strongly electronegative N and O substituents increase the Lewis acidity of the aluminium atom, which leads to stronger Al-CNHC as well as Al-H bonds, which inhibits the insertion of the carbene into the Al-H bond. In Chapter 3 the development of the synthesis and reactivity of carbene-stabilized gallanes is presented. The synthesis of NHC gallane adducts (NHC)∙GaH3, (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 and their reactivity towards NHCs and cAACMe were investigated in detail. The reaction of the mono- and dichlorogallanes (NHC)∙GaH2Cl and (NHC)∙GaHCl2 (NHC = iPr2ImMe, Dipp2Im) with cAACMe led to insertion of the cAACMe with formation of chiral and achiral compounds depending on the sterically demand of the used NHC. Furthermore, the formation of bis-alkylgallanes was observed for the insertion of two equivalents of cAACMe with release of the NHC ligand. Chapter 4 describes investigations concerning the synthesis and reactivity of NHC-stabilized iodoalanes and iodogallanes, which are suitable for the formation of cationic aluminium and gallium dihydrides. The reaction of (NHC)∙EH2I (E = Al, Ga) stabilized by the sterically less demanding NHCs (NHC = Me2ImMe, iPr2Im, iPr2ImMe) with an additional equivalent of the NHC led to the formation of the cationic bis-NHC aluminium and gallium dihydrides [(NHC)2∙AlH2]+I- and [(NHC)2∙GaH2]+I-. Furthermore, the influence of the steric demand of the used NHC was investigated. The adduct (Dipp2Im)∙GaH2I was reacted with an additional equivalent of Dipp2Im. Due to the bulk of the NHC used, rearrangement of one of the NHC ligands from normal to abnormal coordination occurred and the cationic gallium dihydride [(Dipp2Im)∙GaH2(aDipp2Im)] was isolated. Chapter 5 of this thesis reports investigations concerning the reduction of cyclopentadienyl-substituted alanes and gallanes with singlet carbenes. NHC stabilized pentamethylcyclopentadienyl aluminium and gallium dihydrides (NHC)∙Cp*MH2 (E = Al, Ga) were prepared by the reaction of (AlH2Cp*)3 with the corresponding NHCs or by the salt elimination of (NHC)∙GaH2I with KCp*. The gallane adducts decompose at higher temperatures with reductive elimination of Cp*H and formation of Cp*GaI. . The reductive elimination is preferred for sterically demanding NHCs (Dipp2Im > iPr2ImMe > Me2ImMe). In addition, NHC ring expansion of the backbone saturated carbene Dipp2ImH was observed for the reaction of the NHC with (AlH2Cp*)3, which led to (RER-Dipp2ImHH2)AlCp*. Furthermore, the reactivity of the adducts (NHC)∙Cp*EH2 (E = Al, Ga) towards cAACMe was investigated. The reaction of the alane adducts stabilized by the sterically more demanding NHCs iPr2ImMe and Dipp2Im afforded the exceptionally stable insertion product (cAACMeH)Cp*AlH V-10 with liberation of the NHC. The reaction of the gallium hydrides (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe led to the reductive elimination of cAACMeH2 and formation of Cp*GaI. A variety of neutral and cationic carbene-stabilized alanes and gallanes are presented in this work. The introduction of electronegative π-donor substituents (Cl-, I-, OR-, NR2-) and the investigations on the thermal stability of these compounds led to the conclusion that the stability of alanes and gallanes increased significantly by such a substitution. Investigations on the reactivity of the NHC adducts towards cAACMe resulted in various insertion products of the carbene into the Al-H or Ga-H bonds and the first cAACMe stabilized dichlorogallane was isolated. Furthermore, a first proof was provided that carbenes can be used specifically for the (formal) reduction of group 13 hydrides of the higher homologues. Thus, the synthesis of Cp*GaI from the reaction of (NHC)∙Cp*GaH2 with cAACMe was developed. In the future, this reaction pathway could be of interest for the preparation of other low-valent compounds of aluminium and gallium.}, subject = {Aluminiumhydridderivate}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Fender2015, author = {Fender, Hendrik Eike}, title = {NFATc1 as a Therapeutic Target in Burkitt's Lymphoma}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-133098}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is a very aggressive, germinal center-derived B cell lymphoma. It mostly occurs in children from equatorial Africa who carry both the Epstein-Barr virus and the pathogens for malaria. Aside from this endemic form, there are also sporadic and immunosuppressive forms of BL. The most important characteristics are both the "starry sky" macrophages - from a histological point of view - and the translocation of MYC to one of the immunoglobulin enhancers at the molecular level. In addition to MYC overexpression several mutations, e.g. in p53 or cyclin D3, or constitutive active PI3-kinase signaling contribute to lymphoma genesis. Furthermore, NFAT factors seem also to play a crucial role. In human BL cell lines and murine Myc-driven tumors, the pro survival factor NFATc1 is highly expressed and present in the nuclei. To interfere with the NFAT pathway in lymphoma formation, I tested the "classical" way by inhibition of calcineurin (CN) with CsA, FK506 or VIVIT. Surprisingly, CN inhibition was not sufficient to induce a complete cytoplasmic translocation of NFATc1. Furthermore, CN inhibitors affected cellular survival and proliferation only at atypical high concentrations. Investigation of other pathways, like the PI3-kinase or JAK3, excluded the possibility that they promote NFATc1 activity. Finally, I treated NFATc1 over-expressing BL and pancreatic cancer cell lines with gallium nitrate that turned out to be a very potent inhibitor of cell survival. Gallium nitrate suppressed NFATc1 and MYC transcription though protein stability was not affected. Regarding the regulation of NFATc1 by MYC-overexpression, the data obtained in my work suggested that (1) NFATc1 mRNA level is down-regulated in murine cells, (2) NFATc1 protein level is up-regulated in both human and murine cells, and (3) MYC supports NFATc1's nuclear residence. Finally, I discovered Myc-driven tumor cells as potential "starry sky" macrophages. Under certain conditions, mainly concerning calcium signaling, they change their outward appearance, surface marker expression, and gain the ability for phagocytosis. For the future, the discovery that gallium acts through NFATc1 in BL and probably numerous other cancer types opens up new strategies for therapeutic interventions.}, subject = {Burkitt}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schuster2019, author = {Schuster, Julia Katharina}, title = {Lewis-Basen-Stabilisierte Mono- und Dinukleare Verbindungen des Galliums und Niedervalente Verbindungen des Berylliums - Darstellung und Reaktivit{\"a}tsstudien}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-16638}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-166381}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The present work is divided into two parts, the first of which is concerned with the synthesis and reactivity of carbene-stabilized gallium compounds. The second part of this thesis adresses the synthesis of novel, beryllium-containing compounds, whereby, in addition to investigations into new structural motifs of linear, sp-hybridized beryllium compounds, the stabilization of low valent beryllium complexes by the use of carbene ligands is a central part of this thesis. 1 Lewis-base-stabilized gallium compounds In this chapter, two different synthetic routes towards carbene stabilized, low-valent gallium compounds were investigated. By the use of CAAC ligands, four different [GaCl3(RCAAC)]-species (R = Me, Cy, Et, Menth) were realized, and investigated in terms of their reactivity towards reducing agents. However, all experimental approaches led to either decomposition products or renewed isolation of the starting materials and the synthesis of dinuclear gallium compounds via reductive coupling of two CAAC-Ga fragments was found not to be feasible. A different approach towards low-valent gallium compounds was the chemical reduction of Lewis-base-stabilized digallanes(4), in which the two gallium atoms are already connected via a σ bond. The synthesis of such compounds by reaction of either the subhalide ´GaI` or the mixed-valent salt [Ga]+[GaCl4]- with two equivalents of the free MeCAAC did not afford the double Lewis-base-stabilized [Ga2X4(MeCAAC)2] species (X = I, Cl). However, [Ga2Cl4(MeCAAC)2] was accessible through ligand exchange reaction of [Ga2Cl4(1,4-dioxane)2] with two equivalents of MeCAAC, due to the relatively weakly-coordinating nature of 1,4-dioxane. In an analogous fashion, three additional Lewis-base-stabilized digallanes(4) could be realized when the carbenes CyCAAC, SIDep und IDipp were used. The reactivity of the Lewis-base-stabilized digalliumtetrachlorides was tested towards different reducing agents. However, none of the reactions led to a distinct product formation and the synthesis of neutral, Ga-Ga multiple bond systems could not be realized in this manner. However, treatment of [Ga2Cl4(MeCAAC)2] with two equivalents of 1,3,2 diazaborolyllithium induced Ga-Ga bond cleavage and [GaCl2{B(NDippCH)2}(MeCAAC)] was isolated as the only boron-containing compound. The halide exchange reactions of the double Lewis-base adducts of digalliumtetrachloride were also investigated. Treatment of [Ga2Cl4(MeCAAC)2] and [Ga2Cl4(CyCAAC)2] with 1.3 molar equivalents of either BBr3 or BI3, well established reagents for halide exchange at other Group 13 elements, yielded the corresponding [Ga2X4(MeCAAC)2] (X = Br, I ) and [Ga2X4(CyCAAC)2] (X = Br, I), with retention of the carbene ligands. Also, the reaction of [Ga2Br4(CyCAAC)2] with BI3 afforded the fully iodinated species. In contrast to the MeCAAC-stabilized compounds, which feature extreme insolubility in common organic solvents, the CyCAAC-stabilized compounds could be characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. 2 Lewis-base-stabilized beryllium compounds The reaction of BeCl2 with two equivalents 1,3,2-diazaborolyllithium provided the homoleptic, linear Be{B(NDippCH)2}2. In its 9Be NMR spectrum, the compound shows a chemical shift of δ = 45 ppm, significantly outside the normal range of two-coordinate beryllium compounds. The electrophilic nature of the beryllium center in Be{B(NDippCH)2}2 was calculated by quantum chemical calculations and demonstrated by its reactivity towards different substrates: methanolysis of Be{B(NDippCH)2}2 induced a Be-B bond cleavage, and, along with insoluble materials presumed to be the polymeric beryllium methanolate, cleanly afforded the protonated 1,3,2 diazaborole. The use of deuterated MeOD in the reaction confirmed methanol as the proton source. Treatment of Be{B(NDippCH)2}2 with one equivalent of the small carbene IMe effected addition at the beryllium center to yield the trigonal mixed Lewis-base adduct. The heteroleptic BeCl{B(NDippCH)2} could not be synthesized by the reaction of BeCl2 with equimolar amounts of 1,3,2-diazaborolyllithium. Therefore, [BeClCp*] was used as starting material for the synthesis of novel, heteroleptic sp-hybridized beryllium species. Treatment of [BeClCp*] with various NHCs did not lead to the expected adduct formation, but yielded, only in the case of IiPr, the metallocene [BeCp*2] and the double Lewis-base adduct [BeCl2(IiPr)2] in a ligand exchange reaction. The reaction of [BeClCp*] with equimolar amounts of 1,3,2 diazaborolyllithium formed the linear coordinated [BeCp*{B(NDippCH)2}] in a salt elimination reaction. A central part of this work was the monomerization of BeCl2 by the use of CAAC ligands. Four differerent [BeCl2(RCAAC)] species (R = Me, Cy, Et, Menth) were synthesized via reaction of the corresponding free carbenes and BeCl2. Furthermore, the reactivity of these kinds of compounds towards different substrates was investigated. Treatment of [BeCl2(MeCAAC)] with equimolar amounts of 1,3,2-diazaborolyllithium afforded the trigonal mixed Lewis-base adduct [BeCl{B(NDippCH)2}(MeCAAC)] in a salt elimination reaction. This compound showed limited stability under reduced pressure, in solution as well as in the solid state, and subsequently formed the protonated 1,3,2 diazaborole and a beryllium containing compound that could not be further identified. The reaction of [BeCl2(MeCAAC)] with Bogdanović-Magnesium ([Mg(C14H10)(thf)3]) provided the CAAC-stabilized berylliumanthracendiyl [Be(C14H10)(MeCAAC)], which was isolated as a red solid. The mechanism of this reaction might be described as a nucleophilic addition of the dianionic anthracene unit to the beryllium center with concomitant loss of MgCl2. [Be(C14H10)(MeCAAC)] shows structural similarities to the magnesium containing species [Mg(C14H10)(thf)3], as both compounds show a non-planar anthracene moiety in their solid-state structures, due to the loss of aromaticity of the substituent. None of the attempts to chemically reduce the various [BeCl2(RCAAC)] compounds with a range of one-electron reducing agents afforded a selective reaction product, and either decomposition products or starting materials were isolated. However, treatment of the Lewis-base adducts [BeCl2(MeCAAC)] and [BeCl2(CyCAAC)] with potassium graphite in the presence of an additional equivalent of RCAAC (R = Me, Cy) yielded the homoleptic and heteroleptic compounds [Be(CyCAAC)2], [Be(MeCAAC)2] and [Be(MeCAAC)(CyCAAC)]. The solid-state structures of the double Lewis-base stabilized beryllium compounds show linear geometries around the beryllium center and significant differences to their beryllium-containing starting materials. A contraction of the Be1-C1 bonds as well as an elongation of the ligand-centered C1-N1 bonds was observed, indicative of strong Be-C bonding. Whereas the beryllium atom is usually found in its +II oxidation state, the central atom in the linear [Be(CAAC)] compounds is formally in its elemental form. Therefore, these compounds represent the first neutral complexes with a formally zerovalent CAAC-stabilized s-block element. The unusual electronic structure of these compounds is emphasized by their deep violet color (λmax (THF) = 575/579 nm). Quantum chemical calculations describe the bonding situation in [Be(CAAC)2] with a combination of donor-acceptor interactions between two ground-state singlet CAAC ligands and Be(0) in a 1s22s02p2 electronic configuration, resulting in a 3c 2e- π bond stretching over the C Be C core. Furthermore, the stabilization arising from π backdonation from Be to the CAAC ligands was found to significantly predominate over that from σ-donation from CAAC to the beryllium center. The NHC-stabilized compounds [Be(IDipp)2] and [Be(IDipp)(IMes)] and the mixed NHC/CAAC-stabilized species [Be(MeCAAC)(NHC)] (NHC = IDipp, IMes, SIDep) could not be synthesized. This might be explained by the different electronic properties of the carbenes. On the one hand, the π-accepting abilities of the NHCs are likely insufficient to form a 3c 2e- π bond. On the other hand, the stability of the mixed CAAC/NHC stabilized Be(0) compounds might not be sufficient due to differences in the σ-donating and π accepting properties of the ligands, which limits the formation of a symmetrical 3c 2e- π bond across the C-Be-C unit.}, subject = {Beryllium}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Seufert2009, author = {Seufert, Mirjam}, title = {Herstellung und Charakterisierung von abstimmbaren und Hochleistungslasern auf GaSb}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-52122}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, basierend auf dem AlGaIn-AsSb Materialsystem neuartige Laserbauelemente mit bisher unerreichten Kenndaten zu entwerfen, herzustellen und zu untersuchen.
