  abstract  = {π-Conjugated organic polymers have attracted tremendous attention in the last decades, and the interest in these materials is mainly driven by their applicability in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices (OLEDs, OFETs, photovoltaics). The partial or complete replacement of carbon atoms by main group elements in conjugated polymers can significantly change the characteristics and applications of these macromolecules. In this work, a class of inorganic polymers comprising a backbone of exclusively boron and nitrogen atoms (poly(iminoborane)s, PIBs) and their monodisperse oligomers is described. In addition, novel inorganic-organic hybrid polymers containing BN units in their polymer backbone were synthesized and characterized. In chapter 2.1, the development of catalytic B-N coupling routes for the controlled synthesis of macromolecular materials is described. While the reaction of an N-silyl-B-chloro-aminoborane with the electrophilic reagent trimethylsilyl triflate led to effective B-N coupling, the reaction with a silver(I) salt resulted in an intramolecular Cl/Me exchange between the boron and silicon centers. In chapter 2.2-2.4, the study of oligo- and poly(iminoborane)s is discussed. Monodisperse and cyclolinear oligo(iminoborane)s based on diazaborolidines with up to 7 boron and 8 nitrogen atoms were synthesized by successively extending the B-N main chain. However, the use of benzodiazaborolines only led to limited BN catenation. Furthermore, the redistribution processes resulting from the reaction of longer oligomers with non-stoichiometric amounts of (di)halogenated boranes is reported. In chapter 2.5-2.6, the synthesis of 1,2,5-azadiborolanes as building blocks for the synthesis of poly(iminoborane)s and inorganic-organic hybrid polymers is described. While the attempt to apply an azadiborolane with sterically demanding groups on the boron-bridging ethylene unit for the construction of PIB was unfeasible, it was successfully incorporated in inorganic-organic hybrid polymers. Photophysical studies indicated π-conjugation along the polymer chain. A first attempt to synthesize PIBs based on azadiborolanes with unsubstituted ethylene units showed promising results. In chapter 2.7-2.8, a comprehensive study of poly(arylene iminoborane)s, which are BN analogs of poly(arylene vinylene)s is described, and the properties of four polymers as well as twelve monodisperse oligomers were investigated. Photophysical investigations of the monomers, dimers and polymers showed a systematic bathochromic shift of the absorption maximum with increasing chain length and thiophene content. Based on TD-DFT calculations of the model oligomers, the lowest-energy absorption band could be assigned to HOMO to LUMO transitions with π-π* character. The oligo- and poly(arylene iminoborane)s showed only very weak to no emission in solution but they were emissive in the solid state. For four oligomers the aggregation induced emission (AIE) in a THF/water mixture was investigated and DLS studies confirmed the formation of nanoaggregates. In chapter 2.9, oligo- and polymerizations of sulfur-containing building blocks and subsequent pH-triggered degradation of the products is described. While a sulfilimine-containing oligomer could not be isolated, the sulfone-, sulfoximine-, and sulfoxide-containing molecular oligomers and polymers could be successfully synthesized by B=N or B-O bond formation reactions. The sulfur-containing building blocks were successfully released under acidic or basic conditions, which was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.},

  abstract  = {A series of tetracationic bis-triarylborane dyes, differing in the aromatic linker connecting two dicationic triarylborane moieties, showed very high submicromolar affinities toward ds-DNA and ds-RNA. The linker strongly influenced the emissive properties of triarylborane cations and controlled the fluorimetric response of dyes. The fluorene-analog shows the most selective fluorescence response between AT-DNA, GC-DNA, and AU-RNA, the pyrene-analog's emission is non-selectively enhanced by all DNA/RNA, and the dithienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole analog's emission is strongly quenched upon DNA/RNA binding. The emission properties of the biphenyl-analog were not applicable, but the compound showed specific induced circular dichroism (ICD) signals only for AT-sequence-containing ds-DNAs, whereas the pyrene-analog ICD signals were specific for AT-DNA with respect to GC-DNA, and also recognized AU-RNA by giving a different ICD pattern from that observed upon interaction with AT-DNA. The fluorene- and dithienyl-diketopyrrolopyrrole analogs were ICD-signal silent. Thus, fine-tuning of the aromatic linker properties connecting two triarylborane dications can be used for the dual sensing (fluorimetric and CD) of various ds-DNA/RNA secondary structures, depending on the steric properties of the DNA/RNA grooves.},

Besonders hervorzuheben ist hierbei, dass die Synthese des Bis(1,3-Carboran-12-yl)imidazolatanions in einer Buchwald-Hartwig-Kreuzkupplungsreaktion durch Umsetzung der Reagenzien \(Cs[12-I-closo-1-CB_{11}H_{11}]\) und \(Cs[12-Imidazolyl-closo-1-CB_{11}H_{11}]\) durch 1 zu 1 Umsetzung miteinander reagiert haben.

Die unsymmetrischen Imidazoliumsalze konnten durch Umsetzung mit n-Butyllithium zu C2-NHC-Derivate umgesetzt werden. Bei der Umsetzung des Bis(1,3-Carboran-12-yl)imidazolatanions bildete sich zun{\"a}chst ein Gemisch aus dem C2- und C5-Isomer, des Weiteren ist anteilig auch die Deprotonierung am Clusterkohlenstoffatom aufgetreten.},

  abstract  = {This Ph.D. thesis has addressed several main issues in current ASSB research within four studies. Ceramic ASSBs are meant to enable the implementation of Li-metal anodes and high voltage cathode materials, which would increase energy density, power density, life time as well as safety aspects in comparison with commercially available liquid electrolyte LiBs. In this thesis, several scientific questions arising on the cathode side of ASSBs have been focused on. With respect to the target system of a ternary composite bulk cathode consisting of ceramic active material, ceramic SSE and an electrically conductive component, studies about the thermal stabilities of these components and their impact on the electrochemical performance have been conducted. Particulate bulk cathode composites have to fulfil electrochemical, chemical, mechanical and structural requirements in order to compete with commercial LiBs. Particularly, the production process requires high-temperature sintering to obtain firmly bonded contacts in order to maximize the electrochemically active area, charge transfer and ionic conduction. However, interdiffusion, intermixing and decomposition of the initial components during sintering result in low-performing ASSBs so far. These side reactions during high-temperature treatment have been investigated in order to gain a better understanding of these mechanisms and to enable a better controlling of the manufacturing process as well as to simplify the choice of material combinations. The first two parts of this thesis deal with the thermal stability of the ceramic SSE LATP in combination with various active materials and with the validation of a probable improvement of the sintering process due to liquid phase sintering of LATP by adding Li3PO4. In the third and fourth parts, the impact of interdiffusion, intermixing and decomposition on the electrochemical performance of TF-SSBs based on the active material LMO and the ceramic SSE Ga-LLZO has been investigated.},

  abstract  = {The 2- and 2,7- substituted para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene cations show high-affinity intercalation into ds-DNAs, whereas their non-methylated analogues interacted with ds-DNA/RNA only in the protonated form (at pH 5), but not at physiological conditions (pH 7). The fluorescence from non-methylated analogues was strongly dependent on the protonation of the pyridines; consequently, they act as fluorescence ratiometric probes for simultaneous detection of both ds-DNA and BSA at pH 5, relying on the ratio between intensities at 420 nm (BSA specific) and 520 nm (DNA specific), whereby exclusively ds-DNA sensing could be switched-off by adjustment to pH 7. Only methylated, permanently charged pyrenes show photoinduced cleavage of circular DNA, attributed to pyrene-mediated irradiation-induced production of singlet oxygen. Consequently, the moderate toxicity of these cations against human cell lines is strongly increased upon irradiation. Detailed studies revealed increased total ROS production in cells treated by the compounds studied, accompanied by cell swelling and augmentation of cellular complexity. The most photo-active 2-para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene showed significant localization at mitochondria, its photo-bioactivity likely due to mitochondrial DNA damage. Other derivatives were mostly non-selectively distributed between various cytoplasmic organelles, thus being less photoactive.},

When dibenzylideneacetone is present in the reaction, it undergoes a [2+2+2] cyclization with the bisdiyne, forming cyclohexadiene derivatives. Ni(0) catalyzes the [2+2+2] cycloaddition of diynes with tolanes towards alkynylated o-terphenyl derivatives. The D-A substituted products are solvatochromic, fluorescent dyes with high quantum yields and short lifetimes. Bis-triarylborane tetrayne dyes were synthesized in both neutral and tetracationic forms, as potential DNA/RNA sensor. Both molecules are weakly fluorescent in solution and exhibit characteristic alkyne absorptions in the Raman spectra. Tributyl phosphine catalyzes the trans-hydroboration of 1,3-butadiynes with HBpin. We confirmed experimentally via NMR and HRMS experiments, that phosphine attack on the diyne is a key step in the catalytic cycle.},

  abstract  = {1. Bis(1-(4-tolyl)-carboran-2-yl)-(4-tolyl)-borane, a new bis(o-carboranyl)-(R)-borane 1 was synthesised by lithiation of the o-carboranyl precursor and subsequent salt metathesis reaction with (4-tolyl)BBr2. Cyclic voltammetry experiments on 1 show multiple distinct reduction events with a one-electron first reduction. In a selective reduction experiment the corresponding paramagnetic radical anion 1•- was isolated and characterized. Single-crystal structure analyses allow an in-depth comparison of 1, 1•-, their calculated geometries, and the S1 excited state of 1. 2. The choice of backbone linker for ortho-bis-(9-borafluorene)s has a great influence on the LUMO located at the boron centers and therefore the reactivity of the respective compounds. Herein, we report the room temperature rearrangement of 1,2-bis-(9-borafluorenyl-)-ortho-carborane, C2B10H10-1,2-[B(C12H8)]2 ([2a]) featuring o-carborane as the inorganic three-dimensional backbone and the synthesis of 1,2-bis-(9-borafluorenyl-)benzene, C6H4-1,2-[B(C12H8)]2 (2b) its phenylene analog. DFT calculations on the transition state for the rearrangement support an intramolecular C-H bond activation process via an SEAr-like mechanism in [2a], and predicted that the same rearrangement would take place in 2b, but at elevated temperatures, which indeed proved to be the case. 3. We synthesized 4 a julolidine-like pyrenyl-o-carborane, with pyrene substituted at the 2,7-positions on the HOMO/LUMO nodal plane, continuing our research. Using solid state molecular structures, photophysical data, cyclic voltammetry, DFT and TD-DFT calculations we compare o-carborane and the B(mes)2 (mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) as acceptor groups and confirm the julolidine-like donor strength.},

  abstract  = {The solvatochromic behavior of two donor-π bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) compounds based on the 2-(3-boryl-2-thienyl)thiazole π-linker and indandione acceptor moiety are investigated. DFT/TD-DFT calculations were performed in combination with steady-state absorption and emission measurements, along with electrochemical studies, to elucidate the effect of two different strongly electron-donating hydrazonyl units on the solvatochromic and fluorescence behavior of these compounds. The Lippert-Mataga equation was used to estimate the change in dipole moments (Δµ) between ground and excited states based on the measured spectroscopic properties in solvents of varying polarity with the data being supported by theoretical studies. The two asymmetrical D-π-A molecules feature strong solvatochromic shifts in fluorescence of up to ~4300 cm\(^{-1}\) and a concomitant change of the emission color from yellow to red. These changes were accompanied by an increase in Stokes shift to reach values as large as ~5700-5800 cm\(^{-1}\). Quantum yields of ca. 0.75 could be observed for the N,N-dimethylhydrazonyl derivative in nonpolar solvents, which gradually decreased along with increasing solvent polarity, as opposed to the consistently reduced values obtained for the N,N-diphenylhydrazonyl derivative of up to ca. 0.20 in nonpolar solvents. These two push-pull molecules are contrasted with a structurally similar acceptor-π bridge-acceptor (A-π-A) compound.},

  abstract  = {N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are utilized for the stabilization of reactive compounds, for the activation of strong bonds, and as ligands in transition metal chemistry. In contrast to neutral NHCs, few examples of anionic or even dianionic NHCs are known. One approach for the synthesis of anionic carbenes is the deprotonation of neutral or anionic precursors, bearing Lewis acids instead of alkyl or aryl substituents. Following this strategy, novel anionic and dianionic NHCs, featuring weakly coordinating fluorinated borane and phosphorane substituents or coordinating tricyanoborane substituents were synthesized within the scope of this thesis. These carbenes possess unprecedented stabilities compared to related species. Furthermore, their electronic and steric properties can be directly adjusted by the type of Lewis acid attached. Their potential as ligands with highly shielding weakly coordinating substituents next to the carbene coordination center was demonstrated by the syntheses of the respective NHC selenium adducts and NHC gold(I) complexes. In contrast anionic NHCs with coordinating tricyanoborane moieties have an outstanding potential as ditopic ligands with coordination being possible at the carbene center and via the cyano groups. Their beneficial ligand properties were demonstrated by the syntheses of the respective NHC selenium adducts and NHC nickeltricarbonyl complexes. The combination of electronic properties, the large buried volume, the negative charge, the possibility to act as ditopic or ligands with weakly coordinating groups, and the ease of accessibility render borane- and phosphorane functionalized NHCs unique novel ligands. A further project of this PhD thesis deals with the steric properties of Lewis acids. Therefore, an easy-to-apply model was designed to quantify the steric demand of Lewis acids. Using the results of this evaluation, a second model was developed which judges the steric repulsion in Lewis acid/base adduct formation for arbitrary sets of acids and bases.},

This process is scalable and also amenable to the late-stage conversion of carboxylic acid-containing drugs into their acylboron analogues, which have been challenging to prepare previously.

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 practicality and industrial potential of this transformation are demonstrated by its operational simplicity, wide functional group tolerance, and the late-stage modification of complex molecules.

The complexes 1\(^{+}\)-5\(^{+}\) were fully characterized including X-ray structure analysis. The complex cations reveal linear geometries in the solid state and NMR spectra with extremely broad, paramagnetically shifted resonances. DFT calculations predicted an orbitally degenerate ground state leading to large magnetic anisotropy, which was verified by EPR measurements in solution and on solid samples. The magnetic anisotropy of the complexes is highly dependent from the steric protection of the metal atom, which results in a noticeable decrease of the g-tensor anisotropy for the N-Mes substituted complexes 1\(^{+}\) and 2\(^{+}\) in solution due to the formation of T-shaped THF adducts.},

  abstract  = {Photo-initiated intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) processes play a pivotal role in the excited state reaction dynamics in donor-bridge-acceptor systems. The efficacy of such a process can be improved by modifying the extent of π-conjugation, relative orientation/twists of the donor/acceptor entities and polarity of the environment. Herein, 4-dimethylamino-4′-cyanodiphenylacetylene (DACN-DPA), a typical donor-π-bridge-acceptor system, was chosen to unravel the role of various internal coordinates that govern the extent of photo-initiated ICT dynamics. Transient absorption (TA) spectra of DACN-DPA in n-hexane exhibit a lifetime of >2 ns indicating the formation of a triplet state while, in acetonitrile, a short time-constant of ∼2 ps indicates the formation of charge transferred species. Ultrafast Raman loss spectroscopy (URLS) measurements show distinct temporal and spectral dynamics of Raman bands associated with C≡C and C=C stretching vibrations. The appearance of a new band at ∼1492 cm\(^{-1}\) in acetonitrile clearly indicates structural modification during the ultrafast ICT process. Furthermore, these observations are supported by TD-DFT computations.},

One-electron oxidation of 2 with CuX (X=Cl, Br) afforded the corresponding amino(halo)boryl radicals, which were characterized by EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Placing 2 under an atmosphere of CO afforded the tricoordinate (CAAC,CO)-stabilized aminoborylene. Finally, the twofold oxidation of 2 with chalcogens led, in the case of N\(_{2}\)O and sulfur, to the splitting of the B-C\(_{CAAC}\) bond and formation of the 2,4-diamino-1,3,2,4-dichalcogenadiboretanes and CAAC-chalcogen adducts, whereas with selenium a monomeric boraselenone was isolated, which showed some degree of B-Se multiple bonding.},

Desilylative hydrolysis of 1- and 2-SiMe\(_{3}\) yielded the corresponding N-protonated azaborinines, which were deprotonated with nBuLi or MN(SiMe\(_{3}\))\(_{2}\) (M=Na, K) to the corresponding group 1 salts, 1-M and 2-M. While the lithium salts crystallized as monomeric Lewis base adducts, the potassium salts formed coordination polymers or oligomers via intramolecular K⋅⋅⋅aryl π interactions.

Solution \(^{11}\)B NMR data suggest that the 1,2-azaborinin-2-yl ligand is similarly electron-withdrawing to a bromide. In the solid state the endocyclic bond length alternation and the twisting of the C\(_{4}\)BN ring increase with the sterics of the substituents at the boron and nitrogen atoms, respectively. Regression analyses revealed that the downfield shift of the endocyclic \(^{11}\)B NMR resonances is linearly correlated to both the degree of twisting of the C\(_{4}\)BN ring and the tilt angle of the N-substituent. Calculations indicate that the 1,2-azaborinin-1-yl ligand has no sizeable π-donor ability and that the aromaticity of the ring can be subtly tuned by the electronics of the N-substituent.},

The existing examples require either a strong π-donating group or an extra ligand for B-coordination, which nevertheless suppresses or completely turns off the Lewis acidity. The title compound, which possesses both features, not only allows the 1,2-insertion of P=O, C=O or C≡N to proceed under milder conditions, but also enables the heretofore unknown dearomative 1,4-insertion of Ar-(C=O)- into a B-C bond.

Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and their photophysical and electrochemical properties (cyclic voltammetry), as well as their interactions with DNA/RNA were investigated. The dications showed bathochromic shifts in emission compared to the neutral compounds. The neutral compounds showed very small Stokes shifts, which are a little larger for the dications. All of the compounds showed very short fluorescence lifetimes (<4 ns). The neutral compound with an anthracene core has a quantum yield of almost unity. With stronger acceptors, the analogous bis-N-methylpyridinium compound showed a larger two-photon absorption cross-section than its neutral precursor. All of the dicationic compounds interact with DNA/RNA; while the compounds with benzene and tetrafluorobenzene cores bind in the grooves, the one with an anthracene core intercalates as a consequence of its large, condensed aromatic linker moiety, and it aggregates within the polynucleotide when in excess over DNA/RNA. Moreover, all cationic compounds showed highly specific CD spectra upon binding to ds-DNA/RNA, attributed to the rare case of forcing the planar, achiral molecule into a chiral rotamer, and negligible toxicity toward human cell lines at ≤10 μM concentrations. The anthracene-analogue exhibited intracellular accumulation within lysosomes, preventing its interaction with cellular DNA/RNA. However, cytotoxicity was evident at 1 μM concentration upon exposure to light, due to singlet oxygen generation within cells. These multi-faceted features, in combination with its two-photon absorption properties, suggest it to be a promising lead compound for development of novel light-activated theranostic agents.},

A simple pyridyldiborene is formed when an NHC-stabilized diboryne is combined with pyridine, while a CAAC-stabilized diboryne leads to activation of two pyridine molecules to give a tricyclic alkylideneborane, which can be forced to undergo a further H-shift resulting in a zwitterionic, doubly benzo-fused 1,3,2,5-diazadiborinine by heating.

Herein we report the synthesis and application of a novel class of phosphines bearing ylide substituents. These phosphines are easily accessible via different synthetic routes from commercially available starting materials. Owing to the extra donation from the ylide group to the phosphorus center the ligands are unusually electron-rich and can thus function as strong electron donors. The donor capacity surpasses that of commonly used phosphines and carbenes and can easily be tuned by changing the substitution pattern at the ylidic carbon atom. The huge potential of ylide-functionalized phosphines in catalysis is demonstrated by their use in gold catalysis. Excellent performance at low catalyst loadings under mild reaction conditions is thus seen in different types of transformations.},

  abstract  = {The 1st chapter provides a detailed review of the development of synthetic approaches to triarylboranes from their first report nearly 135 years ago to the present. In the 2nd chapter, a novel and convenient methodology is reported for the one-pot synthesis of sterically-congested triarylboranes, using bench-stable aryltrifluoroborates as the boron source. The new procedure gives access to symmetrically- and unsymmetrically-substituted triarylboranes. The borylated triarylboranes are suggested as building blocks for the design of functional materials. In the 3rd chapter, four luminescent tetracationic bis-triarylborane DNA and RNA sensors that show high binding affinities, in several cases even in the nM range, are investigated. The molecular structures of two of the neutral precursors reveal some structural flexibility for these compounds in the solid state. The compounds were found to be highly emissive even in water and DNA and RNA binding affinities were found to be dependent on linker length and flexibility. Strong SERS responses for three of the four compounds demonstrate the importance of triple bonds for strong Raman activity in molecules of this compound class. In chapter 4, the compound class of water-soluble tetracationic bis-triarylborane chromophores is extended by EDOT-linked compounds and those are compared to their thiophene-containing analogs. Absorption and emission are significantly red-shifted in these compounds, compared to their thiophene-containing analogs and, due to a large Stokes shift, one of the reported compounds exhibits the most bathochromically shifted emission, observable well into the near infrared region, of all tetracationic water-soluble bis-triarylborane chromophores reported to date. Long-lived excited states, completely quenched by oxygen, were observed for the water-stable compounds of this study via transient absorption spectroscopy and a quantum yield for singlet oxygen formation of 0.6 was determined for one of them.},

Only the EDOT-linked trixylylborane tetracation was stable in aqueous solution, indicating that direct attachment of a thiophene or even 3-methylthiophene to the boron atom is insufficient to provide hydrolytic stability in aqueous solution. Further comparative analysis of the EDOT-linked trixylylborane tetracation and its bis-thiophene analogue revealed efficient photo-induced singlet oxygen production, with the consequent biological implications. Thus, both analogues bind strongly to ds-DNA and BSA, very efficiently enter living human cells, accumulate in several different cytoplasmic organelles with no toxic effect but, under intense visible light irradiation, they exhibit almost instantaneous and very strong cytotoxic effects, presumably attributed to singlet oxygen production. Thus, both compounds are intriguing theranostic agents, whose intracellular and probably intra-tissue location can be monitored by strong fluorescence, allowing switching on of the strong bioactivity by well-focused visible light.},

A series of compounds of the type (CAAC)BR2Y (CAAC = cyclic alkyl(amino)carbene; R = H, Br; Y = CN, NCS, PCO) were prepared first. The two-electron reduction of (CAAC)BBr2Y (Y = CN, NCS) in the presence of a second Lewis base L (L = N-heterocyclic carbene) resulted in the formation of the corresponding doubly Lewis base-stabilized pseudohaloborylenes (CAAC)(L)BY. These borylenes show versatile reactivity patterns, including their oxidation to the corresponding radical cations, coordination via the respective pseudohalide substituent to group 6 metal carbonyl complexes, as well as a boron-centered protonation with Br{\o}nsted acids to boronium cations. Reduction of (CAAC)BBr2(NCS) in the absence of a second donor ligand, led to the formation of boron-doped thiazolothiazoles via reductive dimerization of two isothiocyanatoborylenes. These B,N,S-heterocycles possess a low degree of aromaticity as well as interesting photophysical properties and can furthermore be protonated as well as hydroborated. Additionally, CAAC adducts of the parent boraphosphaketene (CAAC)BH2(PCO) could be prepared, which readily reacted with boroles [Ph4BR'] (R' = aryl) via decarbonylation in a ring expansion reaction. The obtained 1,2-phosphaborinines represent B,P-isosteres of benzene and consequently could be coordinated to metal carbonyl complexes of the chromium triade via η6-coordination, resulting in new half-sandwich complexes thereof.},

  abstract  = {After implementing a reliable mass spectrometry based kinetic study the indole conjugation with different organometallic indoles led to questions about the electronical and sterical influences on reactivity. The substitution pattern of the ferrocene functionalized indoles at the six-membered ring determines the electron density on the C3 atom, which reacts with the formed Schiff base. Since the experimental results showed the exact opposite trend, covalent docking studies were performed elucidating the importance of surface interactions. These studies were in harmony with the experimental results and determined lysine 33 as most preferable conjugation site as well as substitution in 6-position as most favourable pattern. The amine motif in compounds 6, 7 and 8 proofed to be easily fragmented by the ESI method used. The amide linker in 10 remains intact but shows a lower conversion. Those two inherent characteristics are however preferable for well-defined and site-specific bioconjugation. The synthesis and evaluation of piano stool complex derivatives with manganese and rhenium metal centre 15, 16, 18 and 22 gave additional guidance by the interpretation of applicable structural motifs. The electron-withdrawing carbonyl groups lead to the hindrance of fulvene formation and thus to no fragmentation as seen with the ferrocene group. The total conversion is low compared to 8, only 22 shows a good enough conversion to mainly monoconjugate of 45\% and a possible radio-labelling application as 99mTc analogue. As consequence manganese complexes with a stable facial tricarbonyl unit and a tridentate chelator with 4-, 5- and 6-substituted aminomethylindole conjugated through an amide bond were synthesized and consecutively evaluated. The resulting organometallic indole derivatives 29, 30 and 31 all showed a total conversion around 40\% similar to 16, but at the same time a rate constant in the range of 10-4 s-1 like the organic indole. Besides the similar conversion, the rate constants followed the trend of the 6-substituted derivative as fastest and then 5- and 4- substituted derivative with decreasing reactivity. For underlining the usage as technetium label for the best out of the series 31, a rhenium analogue was prepared. The resulting compound 32 was especially interesting, because the conversion was even higher than the 70\% of 8 with a total of 88\%. Additionally, the rate constant was a tenfold higher as well. This rendered compound 32 as best possible 99mTc analogue for further application as radio-label. After the success of 32 and realizing the sterical benefits resulting from the flexible tridentate ligand-system, substitution at the five-membered ring was explored. The complexes 33, 34 and 35 are based on indole-2-carboxylic acid and with the difference of the length of the alkyl spacer between amide and complex to probe for the influence and sterical hindrance, but all three derivatives showed no conjugation which excludes functionalization in 2-position. As the C3 is used for the actual bioconjugation, the last possible derivatization was realized on the indole-N1 by using 1-(3-bromopropyl)indole as building block during the synthesis of the ligand-system. The corresponding manganese 36 and rhenium 37 complexes both showed similar properties of a moderate conversion like 22 and a rate constant in the range of 10-5 s-1. In conclusion the rhenium complex 32 with the 6-substitution pattern at the tridentate indole-bearing ligand remains the most promising structure. The here developed liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry-based assay for the determination of inhibitory activity of drug candidates against the 3CLpro of the sever acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 was successfully implemented and especially designed to give, due to the available absorption spectra and corresponding mass traces, further insight in the otherwise through fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assays neglected influences on the inhibition results. Starting with a literature-known quinolone containing covalent inhibitor 42 an N1-methylated derivative 43 and their analogues 44 and 45 in which the benzoic acid was exchanged for ferrocene carboxylic acid were synthesized. The inhibition of 3CLpro was evaluated by the concentration of initial 15mer peptide left after incubation and for that purpose the for 280 nm defined molar attenuation coefficient of (26.41±0.59) L*mol-1*cm-1 determined and used. The results showed a reaction of DL dithiothreitol with the less stable benzoic acid esters leading to a moderate inhibitory effect. The methylation in N1-position showed an increase in stability. The methylated and with ferrocene carboxylic acid functionalized derivative showed a complete inhibition during the timeframe of the assay. In search of a fluorescent and therefore traceable inhibitor, 4 hydroxycoumarin was used to synthesize the analogue with benzoic acid 49 and ferrocene carboxylic acid 50. Both derivatives were less stable than their analogues but exhibited the same trend of a more stable ferrocene-derived compound, which exerted a higher inhibition as well. After preparing and testing the model thioester 53 and showing an inactivation of the established inhibitor ebselen, it was concluded that the reaction with DL dithiothreitol reduces the concentration of active intact inhibitor and therefore decreases the inhibition rate during the assay. The next step was proofing the reducing agent as non-essential for the fast assay conducted in a timeframe of 5 min to circumvent the negative influence of DL dithiothreitol. By excluding every inhibition-altering part, the resulting method is the perfect tool for precise statements in relation of inhibitory activity. Then the inhibition assay was repeated for ebselen and the best out of the here introduced organometallic inhibitors 45. Both give equivalent results of a complete inhibition during the measurement. The implemented liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry-based assay has many advantages over the fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based assays in which all the information and insight accumulated by the evaluation of uv/vis traces and mass spectra are not available leading to wrong or deviating results regarding the inhibitory capacity of inhibitor candidates.},

This term describes a three-coordinate boron atom that is bound to three different aromatic systems, namely 2,6-dimethylphenyl, mesityl, and 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2,6-dimethylphenyl. It is also demonstrated that the amine functionality can be converted with methyl triflate into an ammonium moiety. The investigation of photophysical and electrochemical properties of this compound in comparison with the non-aminated and di-aminated analogues of the triarylborane is described besides other investigations of e. g. singlet oxygen sensitization, rotational barriers, and fundamental DFT calculations. Based on these investigations, selectively mono-, bis- and tris-dimethylamino- and trimethylammonium-substituted bis-triarylborane bithiophene chromophores were synthesized and their photophysical, and electrochemical properties were investigated together with the water solubility and singlet oxygen sensitizing efficiency of the cationic compounds Cat1+, Cat2+, Cat(i)2+, and Cat3+. Comparing these properties with the results obtained for the mono-triarylboranes reveals a large influence of the bridging unit on the investigated properties of the bis-triarylboranes. In addition, the interaction of the cationic bis-triarylboranes with different polynucleotides were investigated in buffered solutions as well as the ability of these selectively charged compounds to enter and localize within organelles of human lung carcinoma and normal lung cells. All these investigations demonstrate that the number of charges and their distribution influences the interactions and staining properties as well as most of the other properties investigated. In addition, preliminary investigations on H2O2-cleavable boronate esters in the presence of stochiometric amounts of H2O2 are described for three different aryl boronate esters.},

  abstract  = {The present work focusses on the borylation of aryl halides. The first chapter presents a detailed review about previously reported nickel-catalyzed borylation reactions. The second chapter of the thesis describes, the borylation reaction of C-Cl bonds in aryl chlorides mediated by an NHC-stabilized nickel catalyst. The cyclohexyl substituted NHC Cy2Im was used to synthesize novel Cy2Im-stabilized nickel complexes [Ni2(Cy2Im)4(μ-(η2:η2)-COD)] 1, [Ni(Cy2Im)2(η2-C2H4)] 2, and [Ni(Cy2Im)2(η2-COE)] 3. An optimized procedure was developed using 5 mol\% of the Ni-catalyst, 1.5 equivalents of the boron reagent B2pin2, and 1.5 equivalents of NaOAc as the base in methylcyclohexane at 100 °C. With these optimized conditions, it was shown that a variety of aryl chlorides, containing either electron-withdrawing or -donating groups, were converted to the corresponding aryl boronic esters in yields up to 99\% (88\% isolated) yield. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the C-Cl oxidative addition product [Ni(Cy2Im)2(Cl)(4-F3C-C6H4)] 11, which has been synthesized and isolated separately, also catalyzes the reaction. Thus, rapid oxidative addition of the C-Cl bond of the aryl chloride to [Ni2(Cy2Im)4(μ-(η2:η2)-COD)] 1 to yield trans-[Ni(Cy2Im)2(Cl)(Ar)] represents the first step in the catalytic cycle. The rate limiting step in this catalytic cycle is the transmetalation of boron to nickel forming trans-[Ni(Cy2Im)2(Bpin)(Ar)], which was not possible to isolate. The boryl transfer reagent is assumed to be the anionic adduct Na[B2pin2(OAc)]. A final reductive elimination step gives the desired borylated product Ar-Bpin and regenerates [Ni(Cy2Im)2]. In the next chapter the first effective C-Cl bond borylation of aryl chlorides using NHC-stabilized Cu(I)-complexes of the type [Cu(NHC)(Cl)] was developed. The known complexes [Cu(iPr2Im)(Cl)] 15, [Cu(Me2ImMe)(Cl)] 16, and [Cu(Cy2Im)(Cl)] 17, bearing the small alkyl substituted NHCs, were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of copper(I) chloride with the corresponding free NHC at low temperature (-78 °C) in THF. A range of catalysts, bases, solvents, and boron sources were screened to determine the scope and limitations of this reaction. [Cu(Cy2Im)(Cl)] 17 revealed a significantly higher catalytic activity than [Cu(iPr2Im)(Cl)] 15. KOtBu turned out to be the only efficient base for this borylation reaction. Besides methylcyclohexane, toluene was the only solvent that gave the borylated product in moderate yields of 53\%. It was shown that a variety of electron-rich and electron-poor aryl chlorides can be converted to the corresponding aryl boronic esters in isolated yields of up to 80\%. A mechanism was proposed, in which a Cu-boryl complex [Cu(L)(Bpin)] is formed in the initial step. This is followed by C-B bond formation via σ-bond metathesis with the aryl chloride forming the aryl boronic ester and [Cu(L)(Cl)]. The latter reacts with KOtBu to give [Cu(L)(OtBu)], which regenerates the copper boryl complex by reaction with B2pin2. Chapter 4 describes studies directed towards the transition metal-free borylation of aryl halides using Lewis base adducts of diborane(4) compounds. A variety of novel pyridine and NHC adducts of boron compounds were synthesized. Adducts of the type pyridine·B2cat2 18-19 and NHC·B2(OR)4 20-23 were examined for their ability to transfer a boryl moiety to an aryl iodide. However, only Me2ImMe∙B2pin2 20 was found to be effective. The stoichiometric reaction of 20 with different substituted aryl iodides and bromides in benzene, at elevated temperatures, gave the desired aryl boronic esters in good yields. Interestingly, depending on the reaction temperature, C-C coupling between the aryl halide and the solvent (benzene), was detected leading to a side product which, together with observed hydrodehalogenation of the aryl halide, provided indications that the reaction might be radical in nature. When the boryl transfer reaction based on Me2ImMe∙B2pin2 20 was followed by EPR spectroscopy, a signal (though very weak and ill-defined) was detected, which is suggestive of a mechanism involving a boron-based radical. In addition, the boronium cation [(Me2ImMe)2∙Bpin]+ 37 with iodide as the counterion was isolated from the reaction residue, indicating the fate of the second boryl moiety. A preliminary mechanism for the boryl transfer from 20 to aryl iodides was proposed, which involves an NHC-Bpin˙ radical as the key intermediate. Me2ImMe-Bpin˙ is formed by homolytic B-B bond cleavage of the bis-NHC adduct (Me2ImMe)2∙B2pin2, which is formed in situ in small amounts under the reaction conditions. Me2ImMe-Bpin˙ reacts with the aryl iodide to give the aryl boronic ester with recovery of aromaticity. In the same step, from the second equivalent of NHC-Bpin˙, an NHC-stabilized iodo-Bpin adduct is formed as an intermediate, which is further coordinated by another NHC, yielding [(Me2ImMe)2∙Bpin]+I- 37.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Synthese und Reaktivit{\"a}t von Phosphan-stabilisierten Diborenen. Der erste Teil beschreibt die Darstellung von Tetrabromdiboran(4)-Addukten mit zweiz{\"a}hnigen (84a-87c) und einz{\"a}hnigen Phosphanen (43a-c; 88a-89b), welche ausgehend von B2Br4(SMe2)2 (83) in einer Substitutionsreaktion in sehr guten Ausbeuten erhalten wurden. In fast allen F{\"a}llen gelang es mithilfe der Molek{\"u}lstrukturen im Festk{\"o}rper die Verbindungen n{\"a}her zu untersuchen. Dabei konnten erstmalig Phosphan-verbr{\"u}ckte Diboran(6)-Verbindungen 86a-87a strukturell charakterisiert werden. Eine Besonderheit stellt in diesem Zusammenhang der PBBP-Torsionswinkel α dar, der die Abwinklung zwischen den Phosphanliganden angibt und welcher mit steigender Sterik zunimmt, was auf attraktive Dispersionswechselwirkungen zwischen den organischen Resten zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist. Einige Addukte wurden experimentell auf ihr Redoxverhalten hin untersucht. Obwohl bei vielen Reduktionsversuchen Diboren-typische NMR-Signale beobachtet wurden, sind die meisten Produkte so instabil, dass keine weiteren Beweise f{\"u}r die erfolgreiche Darstellung der jeweiligen Diborene erbracht werden konnten. Nur f{\"u}r 88c gelang die zielgerichtete Reduktion zum Diboren 93c zu reduzieren. Die analysenreine Isolierung von 93c gelang jedoch nicht, sodass es in situ zum Diboren-{\"U}bergangsmetall-side-on Komplex 94 umgesetzt wurde. Quantenchemische Untersuchungen der Grenzorbitale zeigten, dass sehr wahrscheinlich die energetische Lage der MOs mit Anteilen auf den σ*-Orbitalen der B‒Br-Bindungen ausschlaggebend f{\"u}r eine erfolgreiche Reduktion von Bisphosphanaddukten zum Diboren ist. Allerdings stellt auch der r{\"a}umliche Anspruch der Phosphane einen entscheidenden Stabilit{\"a}tsfaktor f{\"u}r das entstehende Phosphan-stabilisierte Diboren dar. Weiterhin wurde das Portfolio an Phosphan-stabilisierten 1,2-Diaryldiborenen mit den Ver-bindungen 97a-98b erweitert und die Synthese derartiger Diborene in einer Eintopfsynthese optimiert. Außerdem gelang die erstmalige Darstellung Phosphan-stabilisierter Diborene mit Durylsubstituenten (98a/b), die sich aber, mitsamt ihren Brom-verbr{\"u}ckten Monoadduktvorstufen 96a/b, als unerwartet labil erwiesen. Die Diborene zeigen f{\"u}r diese Verbindungsklasse typische NMR-spektroskopische und r{\"o}ntgenkristallographische Messdaten. Zus{\"a}tzlich wurden 97a/b mittels UV/Vis-Spektroskopie und quantenchemischen Methoden n{\"a}her analysiert. Das Hauptaugenmerk der durchgef{\"u}hrten Forschungsarbeiten lag auf der Untersuchung der Reaktivit{\"a}t des Diborens 48a. Dessen B=B-Bindungsordnung konnte in zwei Reaktionen mit unterschiedlichen Oxidationsmitteln unter Bildung des Radikalkations [100]∙+ herabgesetzt werden. Eine Oxidation der B=B-Bindung gelang auch mit der Umsetzung von 48a mit Chalkogenen und chalkogenhaltigen Reagenzien. Unter anderem gelang mit der Darstellung des 1,2-Dimesityl-1,2-di(phenylseleno)diborans(4) (104) die Synthese eines seltenen Beispiels f{\"u}r ein strukturell aufgekl{\"a}rtes, selenhaltiges Diboran(4). Dabei konnte außerdem erstmals die vollst{\"a}ndige Freisetzung beider Lewis-Basen aus einem Diboren unter gleichzeitiger Reduktion der Bindungsordnung beobachtet werden. Weiterhin wurde 48a mit stickstoffhaltigen Heteroaromaten umgesetzt. Dabei lassen die spektroskopischen und quantenchemischen Daten ein Pyridin-stabilisiertes Diboren 105 vermuten. In weiteren Versuchen wurde 48a mit 2,2'-Bipyridin untersucht und ein Monoboran und das 1,4-Diaza-2,3- diborinin 106 erhalten. 106 wurde im Festk{\"o}rper und quantenchemisch n{\"a}her untersucht. Eine NICS-Analyse bescheinigt dem zentralen B2N2C2-Ring des Diborans(4) ein außer-ordentliches Maß an Aromatizit{\"a}t. Ferner war 48a in der Lage, Element-Wasserstoffbindungen zu aktivieren (E = B, Si, N, S). W{\"a}hrend f{\"u}r die Umsetzungen mit diversen Silanen nur {\"u}ber die Reaktionszusammensetzung spekuliert werden konnte, gelang die Strukturaufkl{\"a}rung zweier Produkte der Reaktion mit HBCat (110 und 111) mittels Einkristallr{\"o}ntgenstrukturanalyse. In diesem Zusammenhang gelang die Darstellung der sp2-sp3-Diborane(5) 112-113b in Umsetzungen von 48a mit einem Thiol bzw. mit Anilinderivaten in guten Ausbeuten. Die NMR-spektroskopischen und kristallographischen Daten der Produkte sind miteinander vergleichbar und liegen im erwarteten Bereich derartiger Verbindungen. Zus{\"a}tzlich konnte in den stickstoffhaltigen Produkten 113a/b die trans-Konfiguration der B=N-Doppelbindung mittels 1H-1H-NOESY-NMR-Experimenten best{\"a}tigt werden. Das Diboren 48a zeigt auch ein reichhaltiges Reaktivit{\"a}tsverhalten gegen{\"u}ber kleinen Molek{\"u}len. Nach dem Austausch der Schutzgasatmosph{\"a}re gegen N2O oder CO2 konnte die oxidative Zersetzung von 48a zum literaturbekannten Boroxinderivat 114 festgestellt werden. G{\"a}nzlich anders verlief die Reaktion von 48a mit CO, wobei ein interessanter, achtgliedriger Heterocyclus 115 gebildet wurde, der formal aus zwei gespaltenen CO-Molek{\"u}len und zwei Diborenen besteht. Die genaue Beschreibung der Bindungssituation innerhalb der BC(P)B-Einheit kann, anhand der Festk{\"o}rperstruktur von 115 und DFT-Berechnungen, mit literaturbekannten α-borylierten Phosphoryliden verglichen werden. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit liegt eine Mischform der mesomeren Grenzstrukturen 115-A, 115-B und 115-C vor, da f{\"u}r alle drei Strukturvorschl{\"a}ge experimentelle Hinweise gefunden werden k{\"o}nnen. Das Diboren 48a reagierte mit H2 ohne Katalysator, unter thermischer Belastung, erh{\"o}htem Druck und langer Reaktionszeit zu unterschiedlichen Produkten. Erste Umsetzungen f{\"u}hrten hierbei zum Produkt 118a, das in folgenden Hydrierungen aber nicht mehr reproduziert werden konnte. Stattdessen wurde die selektive Bildung der Monoborane 119a/b beobachtet. F{\"u}r beide Reaktivit{\"a}ten wurde je ein Reaktionsmechanismus quantenchemisch untersucht. Das Schl{\"u}sselintermediat ist dabei jeweils ein hochreaktives Intermediat Int3, welches vermutlich f{\"u}r eine Vielzahl an Reaktivit{\"a}ten von 48a verantwortlich ist. Das letzte Kapitel widmete sich unterschiedlichen Cycloadditionen von 48a mit verschiedenen unges{\"a}ttigten Substraten. Die Reaktivit{\"a}t gegen{\"u}ber Aziden konnte hierbei nicht vollst{\"a}ndig aufgekl{\"a}rt werden. Allerdings gelang es ein PMe3-stabilisiertes Phosphazen 122 als Nebenprodukt nachzuweisen und gezielt in einer Staudinger-Reaktion darzustellen. Mit Carbodiimiden reagierte das Diboren 48a unter photolytischen Bedingungen zu den 1,2,3-Azadiboretidinen 123a-c, wobei die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit stark vom sterischen Anspruch des Carbodiimids abh{\"a}ngig war. Das Azadiboretidin 123a konnte im Festk{\"o}rper n{\"a}her untersucht werden und stellt ein seltenes Beispiel f{\"u}r einen solchen Heterocyclus dar. Die thermische Umsetzung von 48a mit den Carbodiimiden lieferte hingegen ein noch nicht vollst{\"a}ndig aufgekl{\"a}rtes Produkt. Anhand der spektroskopischen Daten wird die Darstellung eines NHCs mit Diboran(4)-R{\"u}ckgrat der Art B2Mes2(NiPr)2C: (124a) vermutet. Quantenchemische Untersuchungen sagen f{\"u}r 124a {\"a}hnliche Bindungsparameter wie f{\"u}r ein literaturbekanntes π-acides NHC voraus. Die Reaktion von 48a mit terminalen Alkinen f{\"u}hrte zielgerichtet zu PMe3-stabilisierten 1,3-Dihydro-1,3-diboreten 126a-d. In L{\"o}sung konnten f{\"u}r 126c/d zus{\"a}tzlich die jeweiligen Konstitutionsisomere 127c/d mit Anteilen von unter 10\% NMR-spektroskopisch beobachtet werden. Im Festk{\"o}rper wird hingegen nicht das Diboret 126d, sondern ausschließlich das Konstitutionsisomer 127d beobachtet. Die Lewis-Formel der Diborete legt nahe, dass ein elektronenarmes, dreifach koordiniertes Kohlenstoffatom in der BCB-Einheit vorliegt, was im 13C{1H}-NMR-Spektrum mit den entsprechenden Signalen best{\"a}tigt wird. Eine elektronische Delokalisation wird mit den ermittelten B‒C-Atomabst{\"a}nden innerhalb der BCsp2B-Einheiten von 126a-c und 127d unterst{\"u}tzt. Die P‒Csp2-Bindung in 127d weist zudem einen kurzen P=C-Bindungsabstand auf, was einen sehr hohen π-Anteil vermuten l{\"a}sst. Die einmalige Beschreibung des C‒H-Aktivierungsprodukts 131 im Festk{\"o}rper gibt einen Hinweis auf eine anf{\"a}ngliche [2+2]-Cycloaddition zwischen der B=B-Doppelbindung und dem terminalen Alkin, die {\"u}ber eine 1,3-Umlagerung zur Bildung der 1,3-Diborete f{\"u}hrt. Ferner gelang unter den identischen Reaktionsbedingungen aus 48a und 1,4-Diethinylbenzol die Darstellung der Mono- und Bis(1,3-dihydro-1,3-diborete) 128 und 129, wobei 129 nur im Festk{\"o}rper genauer untersucht werden konnte. Die Umsetzung von 48a mit 1,3,5-Triethinylbenzol ergab ein Produktgemisch der Form (B2Mes2(PMe3)HCC)n(C6H3)(CCH)3-n (130-n; n = 1, 2, 3), welches Hinweise auf die zweifache bzw. dreifache Diboretbildung lieferte. DFT-Berechnungen sagen f{\"u}r das Bisdiboret 129 eine Kommunikation zwischen beiden Heterocyclen {\"u}ber den zentralen Benzolring voraus, was die Ursache f{\"u}r die beobachtete Fluoreszenz sein k{\"o}nnte. Das Diboren 48a reagierte zudem mit Diazabutadienen unter thermischen Bedingungen in inversen Diels-Alder-Reaktionen zu 1,2,3,4-Tetraaryl-1,4-diaza-2,3-diborininen 132a-e. Dies stellt einen neuen Zugang zu dieser Substanzklasse dar. Dabei zeigte sich eine direkte Korrelation zwischen der Reaktionszeit und dem r{\"a}umlichen Anspruch der Diazabutadiene. Die erfolgreiche Aufarbeitung der 1,4-Diaza-2,3-diborinine ist aufgrund ihrer hohen L{\"o}slichkeit in g{\"a}ngigen L{\"o}sungsmitteln wesentlich vom Kristallisationsverhalten der Produkte abh{\"a}ngig. Die analoge Umsetzung unter photochemischen Bedingungen gab Hinweise darauf, dass diese Reaktion dem Mechanismus einer inversen [4+2]-Cycloaddition folgt. Bemerkenswert ist die hohe Stabilit{\"a}t der Diborane(4) 132b/c gegen{\"u}ber Luft und Wasser, die vermutlich auf der kinetischen Stabilisierung durch die ortho- Methylgruppen der Stickstoff-gebundenen Aromaten beruht. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde bei der Reaktion zwischen 48a und dem Diazabutadien (MesN)2C2Mes2 das 1,2,3,4-Tetramesityl-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-diaza-2,3-diborinin 132e nur in Spuren nachgewiesen. Unter den gew{\"a}hlten Bedingungen wurde stattdessen Verbindung 133 gebildet. Die systematische, experimentelle Untersuchung dieser Reaktivit{\"a}t wurde jedoch im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nicht durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die Schl{\"u}sselschritte des Reaktionsmechanismus zur Bildung von 133 f{\"u}hren h{\"o}chstwahrscheinlich wieder {\"u}ber das Intermediat Int3. Nach einer 1,2-Wanderung eines Mesitylsubstituenten wird das Monophosphan-stabilisierte Zwitterion Int13a gebildet, welches in seiner Grenzstruktur Int13b als Borylen beschrieben werden kann. Eine anschließende intramolekulare C‒H-Aktivierung resultiert im Diboran(5) 133. Mit dieser Arbeit ist es gelungen, neue Erkenntnisse {\"u}ber die Chemie Phosphan-stabilisierter Diborene zu erhalten. Die labil gebundenen Phosphane er{\"o}ffnen diesen Diborenen eine einzigartige Reaktivit{\"a}t, die bei den NHC-Vertretern nicht gefunden wird. In der Zukunft k{\"o}nnten neue Konzepte entwickelt werden dieses Reaktionsverhalten weiter zu nutzen. W{\"u}nschenswert w{\"a}re es die Diboren-Monomere miteinander zu Ketten zu verkn{\"u}pfen.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich im ersten Teil mit der Reaktivit{\"a}t von Gruppe 8 Borylenkomplexen. Zun{\"a}chst wurde der Eisenborylenkomplex 71 mit verschiedenen Carbodiimiden umgesetzt. Die entstandenen Produkte in Form von Spiroverbindungen, [2+2]-Cycloadditionsprodukten sowie Diazadiboretidinen konnten strukturell und spektroskopisch untersucht werden. Außerdem wurde 71 mit Aziden umgesetzt, was NMR-spektroskopisch zur Bildung von Tetrazaborolen f{\"u}hrt. Der Eisenbis(borylen)komplex 72 wurde ebenfalls mit Carbodiimiden umgesetzt und die entstandenen Verbindungen, unter anderem Diazadiboretidine, strukturell und spektroskopisch untersucht. Eine Umsetzung von 72 mit Stickstoffbasen wie Azobenzol, 2,2'-Bipyridin oder Pyridazin f{\"u}hrte bei letzterem zur Bildung eines Koordinationsprodukts. W{\"a}hrend die Umsetzungen des Eisentetrakis(borylen)komplexes 73 mit Methylisocyanid, Magnesium und Trimethylphosphan zu Zersetzung f{\"u}hrten, konnten mit Bis(piperidyl)acetylen und Diisopropylcarbodiimid keine Umsetzungen festgestellt werden. Nach Aufnahme eines UV/Vis- und CV-Spektrums des Eisentetraborkomplexes 74 wurde versucht, diesen mit diversen Erd- und Erdalkalimetallverbindungen zu reduzieren. Hierbei konnte entweder keine Reaktion oder Zersetzung festgestellt werden. Weitere Umsetzungen von 74 erfolgten mit unterschiedlichen Lewis-Basen, Stickstoffbasen, S{\"a}uren, Gasen, Chalkogenen, DIC und einer Platin(0)-verbindung. Diese Umsetzungen f{\"u}hrten zu keinen identifizierbaren Produkten. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurde die Synthese und Reaktivit{\"a}t des basenstabilisierten Borylens 89 untersucht. Nach Verbesserung der Synthesebedingungen konnte ein photolytisch induzierter Ligandenaustausch des CO-Liganden mit verschiedenen Substraten durchgef{\"u}hrt werden. Hierbei f{\"u}hrten die Umsetzungen mit Carbenen oder Phosphanen in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit derer sterischer Eigenschaften zu den entsprechenden Adduktverbindungen. Außerdem konnte eine Adduktverbindung mit Schwefel dargestellt werden, w{\"a}hrend eine Umsetzung mit Selen nur zur Zersetzung f{\"u}hrte. Die Umsetzung mit DMAP lieferte im Gegensatz zur den vorherigen Adduktverbindungen ein biradikalisches Produkt, welches durch ESR-Messung charakterisiert werden konnte. Eine l{\"o}sungmittelabh{\"a}ngige Reaktion findet mit Trifluorophosphan statt, mit welchem die entsprechende instabile Borylenverbindung NMR-spektroskopisch untersucht werden konnte. Die Borazidspezien 169 und 170 sowie das Aminoboran 171 konnten durch Umsetzung von 89 mit Mesityl- und Phenylazid generiert und vollst{\"a}ndig charakterisiert werden. In Anlehnung an die Synthese von Fischercarbenkomplexen wurde 89 mit Organometallverbindungen umgesetzt, um die Reaktivit{\"a}t des CO-Liganden zu erforschen. Nach Umsetzungen mit Phenyllithium, Methyllithium oder Benzylkalium erfolgte die Methylierung in situ mittels Methyltriflat oder dem Meerwein-Salz [Me3O][BF4]. Die entstandenen Fischercaben-analogen Verbindungen konnten strukturell und spektroskopisch charakterisiert werden.},

  abstract  = {Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte eine Reihe symmetrischer und asymmetrischer Tetrahalogendiboran(4)-Addukte realisiert werden. Die symmetrischen Brom-substituierten Vertreter 19 und 102-107 waren durch quantitativen Ligandenaustausch der schwach gebundenen Lewis-Base SMe2 von 101 zug{\"a}nglich. Im Falle der IDip-stabilisierten Addukte 108 bzw. 109a/b gelang die Darstellung in sehr guten Ausbeuten durch direkte Umsetzung von freiem Carben mit den Tetrahalogendiboran(4)-Vorstufen 1 (X = Cl) bzw. 2 (X = I). Die asymme¬trischen Vertreter 113a-116b konnten durch sukzessive Adduktbildung ausgehend von 1 bzw. 6 mit cAAC und dem jeweiligen NHC bei tiefen Temperaturen (-78 °C) in moderaten bis guten Ausbeuten dargestellt werden. Nachfolgende Reduktionsversuche der asymmetrischen Addukte 113a/b und 114b-116b waren von m{\"a}ßigem Erfolg gepr{\"a}gt. Als Reduktionsmittel wurden Alkali- bzw. Erdalkalimetalle, Interkallationsverbindungen und {\"U}bergangsmetallkomplexe eingesetzt. Zwar war in allen F{\"a}llen eine deutliche Farb{\"a}nderung beobachtbar, die, zusammen mit den beobachteten Resonanzen in den 11B-NMR-Spektren, die Synthese von asymmetrischen Diborenen nahelegten, jedoch gelang die Isolierung der Diborene nicht. Hierbei gestaltete sich die Abtrennung der gebildeten Nebenprodukte als problematisch. Deutlich selektiver verliefen hingegen die Reduktionen der symmetrischen Tetrahalogen-diboran(4)-Bis(Addukte) mit NaNaph bei tiefen Temperaturen (-78 °C). Hierbei gelang es, das Portfolio der bereits bekannten Vertreter dieser Substanzklasse zu erweitern. So konnten die Brom-substituierten Diborene 126-128 erstmals vollst{\"a}ndig charakterisiert werden. Der Einfluss der Halogenatome auf die chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften der Diborene wurde ferner an zwei Beispielen der IDip-stabilisierten Diborene 129 und 130 untersucht. Bei identischem NHC, aber unterschiedlichen Halogenen, konnten die Eigenschaften der Diborene 21, 129 und 130 n{\"a}her untersucht und miteinander verglichen werden. Besonders deutlich werden die Redoxeigenschaften der Diborene von der Art des gebundenen Halogens beeinflusst, wie cyclovoltammetrische Untersuchungen belegen. Alle NHC-stabilisierten 1,2 Dihal¬ogen¬diborene konnten ferner anhand ihrer physikalischen Eigenschaften eingeordnet und miteinander verglichen werden. Neben der Synthese und Charakterisierung neuartiger Diborene wurden auch verschiedene Reaktivit{\"a}tsstudien durchgef{\"u}hrt. So konnten die Diborene 21, 123, 126 und 129 mit CO2 unter milden Bedingungen umgesetzt werden, wobei verschiedene Reaktionsprodukte nachgewiesen wurden. Der initiale Schritt umfasste in allen F{\"a}llen eine [2+2]-Cycloaddition die zu den Dibora-β-Lactonen 131a-134a f{\"u}hrte, von denen 131a und 132a vollst{\"a}ndig charakterisiert werden konnten. Im weiteren Reaktionsverlauf wurden jedoch Isomerisierungsreaktionen von 132a-134a bei Raum¬temperatur beobachtet, wobei die 2,4 Diboraoxetan 3 one 132b-134b isoliert wurden. Bedingt durch die verh{\"a}ltnism{\"a}ßig langsame Umsetzung von 21 zu 132a konnte die [2+2] Cyclo¬addition mittels 1H-VT-NMR-Spektroskopie verfolgt werden, wobei die R{\"u}ckgrat¬protonen der NHCs als selektive Sonde dienten. Eine bemerkenswert hohe Stabilit{\"a}t konnte f{\"u}r 131a bei Raumtemperatur beobachtet werden, bei der keine Anzeichen einer Umlagerung nachweisbar waren. Die angefertigten quantenchemischen Untersuchungen zum Reaktions¬mechanismus legen eine h{\"o}here Energiebarriere des Schl{\"u}sselschrittes der Umlagerungs¬reaktion f{\"u}r 131a als f{\"u}r 132a nahe, womit die Stabilit{\"a}t von 131a erkl{\"a}rbar ist. Ferner konnten beim Erhitzen von 131a f{\"u}r 16 Stunden auf 60 °C kurzlebige Intermediate in Form eines Oxoborans und Borylens, die im Laufe der Isomerisierungsreaktion der Dibora-β-Lactonen zu den 2,4 Diboraoxetan 3 onen auftreten, 11B NMR-spektroskopisch nachgewiesen werden. Hierdurch wurde ein weiteres Indiz gewonnen, dass die Richtigkeit des postulierten Reaktionsmechanimus verdeutlicht. Die reduzierende Wirkung der Diborene konnte mit der Darstellung von Radikalkationen demonstriert werden. Hierbei erfolgte die Umsetzung der Diborene 21, 123-126 und 128 mit [C7H7][BArF4] zu 138-143 in guten bis sehr guten Ausbeuten. Die gebildeten Radikale konnten vollst{\"a}ndig charakterisiert werden und sind wegen ihrer Eigen¬schaften gut mit bereits literaturbekannten Vertretern dieser Substanzklasse vergleichbar. Versuche die Radikalkationen durch Umsetzung der Diborene mit [C7H7][BF4] darzustellen scheiterten an der Zersetzung w{\"a}hrend der Aufarbeitung, wodurch die Wichtigkeit des schwach koordinierenden Anions verdeutlich wird. Entgegen der Erwartungen wurden beim Vergleich der ESR-Spektren der dargestellten Radikalkationen mit bekannten Analoga deutlich unterschiedliche giso-Werte ermittelt, die auf den starken Einfluss der Bromatome zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren sind. Des Weiteren war es m{\"o}glich, eine Korrelation zwischen den Strukturparametern in der Festphase und den UV/Vis-Absorptionsmaxima in L{\"o}sung nachzuweisen, wonach f{\"u}r diejenigen Radikale die st{\"a}rkste Blauverschiebung beobachtet wurde, die den gr{\"o}ßten Diederwinkel α, zwischen den B2Br2-Ebenen und den CN2C2-Carben-ebenen, aufwiesen. In weiteren Studien wurden die Redoxeigenschaften der Diborene durch Umsetzung von 21 und 123-125 mit elementaren Chalkogenen unter milden Reaktionsbedingungen untersucht. So konnten durch Umsetzung der Diborene mit elementarem Schwefel die Diborathiirane 144-147 in moderaten bis guten Ausbeuten erhalten werden. Trotz eines großen {\"U}berschusses an Schwefel wurde aber keine vollst{\"a}ndige BB-Bindungsspaltung beobachtet. Auf analoge Weise wurden die Diboraselenirane 148, 150 und 151 durch Umsetzung mit rotem Selen in moderaten bis guten Ausbeuten synthetisiert. Deutliche Unterschiede zeigten sich aber beim IDep-stabilisierten Diboren 123, das ein radikalisches Seleniran ausbildete. {\"U}bersch{\"u}s¬siges Selen beg{\"u}nstigt vermutlich eine Folgeoxidation des in situ gebildeten Diboraselenirans, die jedoch f{\"u}r die anderen Verbindungen dieser Substanzklasse nicht beobachtbar war. Interessanterweise wurde bei allen Dipp-substituierten Verbindungen (Diborathiirane 144 und 146 sowie Dibora¬selenirane 148 und 151) das Fehlen einer Dipp-Gruppe der stabilisierten NHC-Basen im 1H NMR-Spektrum nachgewiesen. Dieser Umstand konnte durch eine eingeschr{\"a}nkte Rotation um die BC-Bindungsachse mittels 1H-VT-NMR-Spektrum aufgekl{\"a}rt werden, wobei die Rotationsbarriere exemplarisch f{\"u}r 144 13.9 ± 1 kcal/mol betr{\"a}gt. Eine bemerkenswerte Reaktivit{\"a}t der 1,2-Dibromdiborene 21 und 123-126 wurde gegen{\"u}ber hetero¬aroma¬tischer Stickstoffbasen beobachtet. Mit einem großen {\"U}berschuss an Pyridin konnte ein Bromidanion aus den Diborenen verdr{\"a}ngt werden, wodurch die Diborenkationen 154-158 in moderaten bis guten Ausbeuten erhalten wurden. Die Abtrennung der dabei unvermeidlich gebildeten NHC-Salze gestaltete sich als schwierig, allerdings gelang es, nach einer in situ Deprotonierung mit NaHMDS die freien NHCs zu entfernen. Versuche der Deri-vatisierung mit anderen aromatischen Basen wie 2- bzw. 4-Picolin, Chinolin oder 2,2'-und 4,4'-Bipyridin scheiterten. Erfolgreich konnte DMAP eingesetzt werden, wodurch es m{\"o}glich war, die Diborenkationen 160-162 in guten bis sehr guten Ausbeuten zu erhalten. Interessanterweise zeigen 154-158 teils deutliche solvatochrome Absorptions¬eigenschaften in den UV/Vis-Spektren. Im Laufe der Umsetzung von 125 mit Pyridin konnte durch angepasste Reaktions¬bedingungen das Dikation 159 in moderaten Ausbeuten isoliert werden. Dessen bemerkenswerte Stabilit{\"a}t zeigte sich durch eine ausgepr{\"a}gte Widerstands¬f{\"a}higkeit gegen{\"u}ber Sauerstoff und Luftfeuchtigkeit {\"u}ber mehrere Wochen. Weiterf{\"u}hrende Unter¬suchungen der Festk{\"o}rperstruktur von 159 zeigen Bindungsparameter, die trotz der ionischen Natur der Verbindung, nur geringf{\"u}gig von denen des neutralen Diborens 125 abweichen. Mittels Raman-Spektroskopie konnten des Weiteren die BB-Bindungsst{\"a}rke in 159 n{\"a}her bestimmt werden, die mit einer Kraftkonstante von 470 N/m nahezu identisch zu der des neutralen Dibores (465 N/m) ist, was R{\"u}ckschl{\"u}sse auf die Lokalisierung der positiven Ladungen auf den Pyridinringen zul{\"a}sst. Aus diesem Grund kann Verbindung 159 als bis dato einziges Beispiel eines luft- und feuchtigkeitsstabilen Diborens bezeichnet werden.},

  abstract  = {A series of methylene-bridged bis(triarylboranes) has been synthesized via two complementary routes using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation under mild conditions. The title compounds comprise two borane moieties that show effective internal π-conjugation involving the respective boron centers and the adjacent hetaryl groups. Conjugation between both borane units, however, is disrupted by the aliphatic linker. Cyclic voltammetry revealed minimal electronic communication between the boron centers, as evidenced by two closely spaced reduction processes. The UV-vis spectra showed bathochromic shifted absorption bands compared to related monoboranes, which is attributed to the methylene bridge. A further red-shift results upon introduction of methyl or SiMe\(_3\) groups at the terminal thiophene rings.},

  abstract  = {Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global concern in human and veterinary medicine, with an ever-increasing void in the arsenal of clinicians. Novel classes of compounds including carbon monoxoide-releasing molecules (CORMs), for example the light-activated metal complex [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br, could be used as alternatives/to supplement traditional antibacterials. Avian pathogenic \(Escherichia\) \(coli\) (APEC) represent a large reservoir of antibiotic resistance and can cause serious clinical disease in poultry, with potential as zoonotic pathogens, due to shared serotypes and virulence factors with human pathogenic \(E.\) \(coli\). The \(in\) \(vitro\) activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br against multidrug-resistant APECs was assessed via broth microtitre dilution assays and synergy testing with colistin performed using checkerboard and time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) antibacterial activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br alone and in combination with colistin was determined using the \(Galleria\) \(mellonella\) wax moth larvae model. Animals were monitored for life/death, melanisation and bacterial numbers enumerated from larval haemolymph. \(In\) \(vitro\) testing produced relatively high [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1024 mg/L. However, its activity was significantly increased with the addition of colistin, bringing MICs down to \(\geq\)32 mg/L. This synergy was confirmed in time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) assays showed that the combination of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br with colistin produced superior bacterial killing and significantly increased larval survival. In both \(in\) \(vitro\) and \(in\) \(vivo\) assays light activation was not required for antibacterial activity. This data supports further evaluation of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br as a potential agent for treatment of systemic infections in humans and animals, when used with permeabilising agents such as colistin.},

Different reaction pathways can deliberately be addressed by applying photochemical or thermal reaction conditions and by choosing radical or closed-shell substrates (TEMPO vs. phenol).

With boron trihalides (BX\(_{3}\), X=F, Cl, Br, I) 1 undergoes sequential adduct formation and halide abstraction reactions to yield borylboronium cations and shows an increasing tendency towards redox processes for the heavier halides. Calculations confirm that 1 acts as a strong Lewis base towards EX3 and show a marked increase in the B-E bond dissociation energies down both group 13 and the halide group.},

Unusual rearrangement products 11 a and 12 a were identified for the complexes of the terminal alkynes HC≡C(p-Tol) and HC≡C(4-\(^{t}\)Bu-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)), 11 and 12, which were formed by addition of a C-H bond of one of the NHC N-\(^{i}\)Pr methyl groups to the C≡C triple bond of the coordinated alkyne. Complex 2 catalyzes the cyclotrimerization of 2-butyne, 4-octyne, diphenylacetylene, dimethyl acetylendicarboxylate, 1-pentyne, phenylacetylene and methyl propiolate at ambient conditions, whereas 1\(^{Me}\) is not a good catalyst. The reaction of 2 with 2-butyne was monitored in some detail, which led to a mechanistic proposal for the cyclotrimerization at [Ni(NHC)\(_{2}\)]. DFT calculations reveal that the differences between 1\(^{Me}\) and 2 for alkyne cyclotrimerization lie in the energy profile of the initiation steps, which is very shallow for 2, and each step is associated with only a moderate energy change. The higher stability of 3 compared to 14 is attributed to a better electron transfer from the NHC to the metal to the alkyne ligand for the N-alkyl substituted NHC, to enhanced Ni-alkyne backbonding due to a smaller C\(_{NHC}\)-Ni-C\(_{NHC}\) bite angle, and to less steric repulsion of the smaller NHC \(^{i}\)Pr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\).},

  abstract  = {Aminotroponiminate (ATI) ligands are a versatile class of redox-active and potentially cooperative ligands with a rich coordination chemistry that have consequently found a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. While backbone substitution of these ligands has been investigated in some detail, the impact of electron-withdrawing groups on the coordination chemistry and reactivity of ATIs has been little investigated. We report here Li, Na, and K salts of an ATI ligand with a nitro-substituent in the backbone. It is demonstrated that the NO2 group actively contributes to the coordination chemistry of these complexes, effectively competing with the N,N-binding pocket as a coordination site. This results in an unprecedented E/Z isomerisation of an ATI imino group and culminates in the isolation of the first "naked" (i. e., without directional bonding to a metal atom) ATI anion. Reactions of sodium ATIs with silver(I) and tritylium salts gave the first N,N-coordinated silver ATI complexes and unprecedented backbone substitution reactions. Analytical techniques applied in this work include multinuclear (VT-)NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and DFT calculations.},

  abstract  = {Boroles are attracting broad interest for their myriad and diverse applications, including in synthesis, small molecule activation and functional materials. Their properties and reactivity are closely linked to the cyclic conjugated diene system, which has been shown to participate in cycloaddition reactions, such as the Diels-Alder reaction with alkynes. The reaction steps leading to boranorbornadienes, borepins and tricyclic boracyclohexenes from the thermal reaction of boroles with alkynes are seemingly well understood as judged from the literature. Herein, we question the long-established mechanistic picture of pericyclic rearrangements by demonstrating that seven-membered borepins (i. e., heptaphenylborepin and two derivatives substituted with a thienyl and chloride substituent on boron) exist in a dynamic equilibrium with the corresponding bicyclic boranorbornadienes, the direct Diels-Alder products, but are not isolable products from the reactions. Heating gradually converts the isomeric mixtures into fluorescent tricyclic boracyclohexenes, the most stable isomers in the series. Results from mechanistic DFT calculations reveal that the tricyclic compounds derive from the boranorbornadienes and not the borepins, which were previously believed to be intermediates in purely pericyclic processes.},

By using DFT computations benchmarked against multireference calculations, as well as MO- and VB-based bonding analyses, we could disentangle the various electronic and structural effects contributing to the thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as the experimental feasibility, of the systems. In particular, we explored the nature of the metal-carbene interaction and the role of the ancillary η\(^{6}\) coordination to the generation of Mn\(_{2}\) systems featuring ultrashort metal-metal bonds, closed-shell singlet multiplicities, and positive adiabatic singlet-triplet gaps.
