  abstract  = {Nowadays, the management of infectious diseases is especially threatened by the rapid emergence of drug resistance. It has been suggested that the medicine quality assurance combined with good medication adherence may help to reduce this impendence. Moreover, the search for new antimicrobial agents from medicinal plants is strongly encouraged for the exploration of alternatives to existing therapies. In this context, the present work focused on both the quality evaluation of commercialized antimalarial medicines from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and on the phytochemical investigations of a Congolese Ancistrocladus species.},

  abstract  = {The first part of this work focuses on the characterization of systems which complex electronic structures require the application of multi-reference methods. The anti-tumor efficacy of the natural product Neocarzinostatin is based on the formation of diradicals and causes DNA cleavage and finally cytolysis. Computations on model systems performed in the present work show the influence of structural features on the mode of action and the efficacy of this antitumor-antibiotic. The cyclization of systems related to the enyne-cumulene framework like the enyne-allenes was investigated earlier and relations to the more unusual class of enyne-ketenes are analyzed. The class of enyne-ketenes (and also the enyne-allenes) show a broad spectrum of possible intermediates (diradicals, zwitterions, allenes). The electronic structures of these intermediates are also possible for the (heteroatom substituted) 1,2,4-cyclohexatriene and a model for their energetic sequence based on high-level multi-reference computations is proposed. In all three projects the application of multi-reference approaches is necessary to obtain a comprehensive picture of the reactivity and electronic structure but also shows up the limits inherently existing in the currently available programs with respect to the size of the molecules. In the second part, algorithms for a multi-reference Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MR-MP2) program, designed to perform large-scale computations, were developed and implemented. The MR-MP2 approach represents the most cost-effective multireference ansatz and requires an efficient evaluation of the Hamilton matrix for which an algorithm is designed to instantly recognize only non-vanishing matrix elements and to employ the recurring interaction patterns of the Hamilton matrix. The direct construction of the Hamilton matrix is additionally parallelized to work on cluster environments.},

Alle in dieser Arbeit vorgestellten Molek{\"u}le wurden NMR-spektroskopisch als auch massenspektrometrisch charakterisiert. Die acetylierten Mannosamin-Derivate konnten {\"u}ber zwei Stufen und die Sialins{\"a}ure-Derivate {\"u}ber sechs Stufen synthetisiert werden. Sialins{\"a}uren sind die terminalen Zucker an Glycanketten von Proteinen mit wichtigen biologischen Funktionen. Im Rahmen des SFB TRR225 konnte in Kooperation mit der Gruppe von Prof. Dr. R.

So hat die in unserem Arbeitskreis in Zusammenarbeit mit Prof. J.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die zusammen mit Prof. J. Fleischhauer etablierte Molekulardynamik-Methodik (MD-Methodik) - neben der schon vorher angewandten Boltzmann-Methodik (BM-Methodik) - zur Untersuchung des Circular-Dichroismus flexibler Verbindungen eingesetzt. Begonnen wurden die Studien mit der Evaluierung des Verfahrens an besonders flexiblen Molek{\"u}len, um im Anschluß den Circular-Dichroismus von Substanzen untersuchen zu k{\"o}nnen, deren CD-Spektren auf den ersten Blick sehr ungew{\"o}hnlich erschienen oder nicht den g{\"a}ngigen Vorstellungen vom chiroptischen Verhalten organischer Molek{\"u}le entsprachen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen sehr deutlich, daß der Circular-Dichroismus komplexer organischer Verbindungen immer vorsichtig zu interpretieren ist. Zwar ist der einfachste Weg zur Aufkl{\"a}rung der Absolutkonfiguration eines Molek{\"u}ls derjenige, das CD-Spektrum der unbekannten Verbindung mit dem einer bereits aufgekl{\"a}rten Substanz sehr {\"a}hnlicher Konstitution zu vergleichen. Doch wie an den untersuchten Beispielen deutlich gezeigt wurde, kann trotz vermeintlich guter {\"U}bereinstimmung von CD-Spektren leicht eine falsche Zuordnung erfolgen. Einzig bei Enantiomeren oder sehr einfachen Derivaten enantiomerer Grundstruktur kann man durch den Vergleich experimenteller CD-Spektren eine sichere Aussage treffen. Sobald jedoch die CD-Spektren von Diastereomeren oder gar konstitutionell verschiedenen Substanzen verglichen werden sollen, ist immer {\"a}ußerste Vorsicht geboten.},

Correlation effects are included by a second-order Moeller Piesset perturbation treatment. For the two lowest-lying structures higher-order correlation corrections and multi-reference effects are also included. Bonding features are investigated by two different types of population analyses to obtain insight into the nature of chemical bonding. A total of 17 stationary points were investigated, 14 of which correspond to local minima and three being transition states. The energetically lowest-lying structures are: A "pyramidlike" structure with various multicenter bonds, followed by a es symmetric isomer closely related to the ground state Si6 structure. Planar structures, favoured in small carbon clusters, lie higher in energy and are transition states. The lowest-lying triplet system is found to be the linear nonsymmetric Si - C-C-C-Si -Si structure, which is calculated to lie about 38 kcalfmole above the singlet ground state. A building-up principle based on bonding criteria is suggested for the occurence of the various structural possibilities.},

  abstract  = {n this work the synthesis and analysis of chromophore functionalized spherical gold nanoparticles is presented. The optical, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of these hybrid materials are furthermore studied. The work therefore is divided into two parts. The first part deals with triarylamine and PCTM-radical functionalized gold nanoparticles. The focus thereby was on the synthesis and on the investigations of chromophore-chromophore interactions and gold core-chromophore interactions. The chromopores, especially triarylamines, were attached to the gold core via different bridging units and were studied with optical and electrochemical methods. The purity and dimensions of the nanoparticles was determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy, diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY), TGA, XPS and STEM. Furthermore a cyclic voltammetry technique was used to determine the composition of the particles via the Randles-Sevcik equation. An analysis of these parameters led to a model of a sea urchin-shaped nanoparticle. Optical measurements of the particles revealed an anisotropic absorption behavior of the triarylamine units due to gold core-chromophore interaction. However this behavior depends strongly on the relative orientation of the transition dipole moment of the chromophore to the gold surface and the distance of the chromophore to the surface. Hence, the anisotropic behavior was exclusively detected in the spectra of the Au-Tara1 particles. The short and rigid pi-conjugated bridging unit thereby facilitates this gold core-chromophore interaction. It was shown from electrochemical investigations that the triarylamine units can be chemically reversibly oxidized to the triarylamine monoradical cation. Furthermore, the measurements revealed a strong interligand triarylamine-triarylamine interaction which was only seen for the Au-Tara1 particles. The long pi-conjugated bridging units of the Au-Tara2 and Au-Tara3 particles as well as the aliphatic bridging unit of Au-Tara4 prevent any detectable interligand interactions. One may conclude that both the gold core-chromophore and the interligand triarylamine-triarylamine interaction depend on the length and the rigidity of the bridging unit. The electron transfer behavior of the triarylamine units adsorbed onto the gold core was additionally studied via spectroelectrochemical (SEC) measurements which are able to reveal weaker interactions. The investigations of Au-Tara1 and Au-Tara2 revealed a significant strong coupling between neighboring triarylamine units which is due to through-space intervalence interactions. This behavior was not detected for Au-Tara3 or for Au-Tara4. The SEC analysis also revealed that these observed interligand interactions depend on the length and the rigidity of the bridging unit. Thus, the systematic variation of the bridging unit gave a basic insight in the optical and electrochemical properties of triarylamines, located in the vicinity of a gold nanoparticle. The second part of this work aimed at the synthesis of new molecules, denoted as SERS-markers, for immuno SERS applications. For this purpose, the SERS-markers were designed to have a Raman-active unit and a thiol group for chemisorptions to Au/Ag nanoshells. In cooperation with the group of Schl{\"u}cker (University of Osnabr{\"u}ck) the SERS-markers were absorbed onto Au/Ag nanoshells, denoted as SERS-labels, and characterized. The SERS spectra of the SERS-labels exhibited intense and characteristic SERS-signals for each marker. For immuno SERS investigations SEMA3 was functionalized with a hydrophilic end unit. This marker was adsorbed onto an Au/Ag nanoshell and encapsulated with silica. An anti-p63 antibody was bound to the silica surface in order to generate a SERS-labeled antibody for the detection of the tumor suppressor p63 in benign prostate. Immuno-SERS imaging of prostate tissue incubated with SERS-labeled anti-p63 antibodies demonstrated the selective detection of p63 in the basal epithelium. The results show the potential of the method for the detection of several biomolecules in a multiplexing SERS experiment.},

While DNA G4 folding is biphasic, reveals kinetic partitioning and involves kinetically favoured off-pathway intermediates, RNA G4 folding is faster and monophasic. The differences in kinetics are correlated to the differences in the folded conformations of RNA vs. DNA G4s, in particular with regard to the conformation around the glycosidic torsion angle χ that uniformly adopts anti conformations for RNA G4s and both, syn and anti conformation for DNA G4s. Modified DNA G4s with \(^{19}\)F bound to C2′ in arabino configuration adopt exclusively anti conformations for χ. These fluoro-modified DNA (antiTel25) reveal faster folding kinetics and monomorphic conformations similar to RNA G4s, suggesting the correlation between folding kinetics and pathways with differences in χ angle preferences in DNA and RNA, respectively.},

  abstract  = {Die kausalen Ursachen, die zur Ausl{\"o}sung der neurodegenerativen Erkrankung Morbus Parkinson f{\"u}hren, sind noch immer unklar. Man nimmt heute an, daß das Absterben dopaminerger Neurone im Mittelhirn von Parkinsonpatienten multifaktoriell ausgel{\"o}st wird. Genetische Pr{\"a}disposition sowie endogene und exogene Umweltgifte wie etwa Substanzen, die strukturelle {\"A}hnlichkeit mit dem bekanntesten dopaminergen Neurotoxin MPTP (1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,5-tetrahydropyridin) besitzen, werden als Hauptursachen f{\"u}r die Entstehung des Parkinsonsyndroms diskutiert. Diese Arbeit besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit einer neuen Klasse von neurotoxisch wirksamen Tetrahydro-b-carbolinen, die sich von Trichloracetaldehyd (Chloral) ableiten. Die wohl prominenteste Verbindung in dieser Reihe ist TaClo (1-Trichlormethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-b-carbolin), das im menschlichen K{\"o}rper nach Aufnahme des Schlafmittels Chloralhydrat durch Pictet-Spengler-Kondensation mit dem endogen vorhandenen Tryptamin gebildet wird. Zus{\"a}tzlich scheint die Bildung von TaClo aus dem Industriel{\"o}sungsmittel TRI (Trichlorethylen), das im Organismus zu Chloral metabolisiert wird, m{\"o}glich. Die {\"u}ber Chloral eingef{\"u}hrte große CCl3-Gruppe erh{\"o}ht die Lipophilie von TaClo, die Passage der Blut-Hirn-Schranke ist erleichtert. In der Tat haben zahlreiche Untersuchungen in vitro und in vivo gezeigt, daß TaClo toxische Prozesse in dopaminergen und serotonergen Systemen zu induzieren vermag. Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit bestand darin, die in-vivo-Entstehung und Metabolisierung von TaClo im Menschen sowie den Einfluß dieses Neurotoxins auf die DNA herauszuarbeiten und n{\"a}her zu untersuchen. Im einzelnen wurden folgende Ergebnisse erzielt: TaClo sch{\"a}digt die DNA, wie Versuche an zellfreier DNA und in-vitro-Experimente an PC12-Zellen belegen. Die endogene Bildung von TaClo in Chloralhydrat-behandelten Patienten und die in-vitro-Entstehung von TaClo aus Trichlorethylen wurde mittels HPLC-ESI-MS-MS-Analytik eindeutig bewiesen. Außerdem wurden erste Hinweise auf eine Anreicherung des Neurotoxins im menschlichen K{\"o}rper erhalten. Stereostrukturelle Aspekte der Bildung und Verstoffwechslung von TaClo wurden aufgekl{\"a}rt und TaClo-Metabolite in in-vitro- und in-vivo-Proben identifiziert. Das Tetrahydro-b-carbolin entsteht in racemischer Form, wird also nicht enzymatisch sondern spontan durch Pictet-Spengler-Reaktion gebildet. Zus{\"a}tzlich wurden Hinweise auf eine enzymatische Metabolisierung von TaClo gefunden. Außerdem gelang es, eine etablierte Methode des oxidativen Abbaus zur Aufkl{\"a}rung der absoluten Konfiguration von Tetrahydropyridin-Heterocyclen [z.B. Eleagnin] auf Substanzen mit benzylischer Hydroxy- oder Metylether-Gruppe zu erweitern. Geringe Mengen (1-2 mg) an Substanzen, die in benzylischer Position eine chirale Sauerstoffunktion besitzen, wurden durch Ruthenium-katalysierte Oxidation zu GC-g{\"a}ngigen S{\"a}uren abgebaut, deren absolute Konfiguration nach Trennung an chiraler Phase durch Vergleich mit enantiomerenreinem Referenzmaterial bestimmt wurde. Diese Zuordnung erlaubte den R{\"u}ckschluß auf die absolute Konfiguration einer Reihe Ausgangsverbindungen.},

Thermodynamic analyses by UV thermal melting revealed a compelling stabilization by THH/TFF heteropairs only when connected to the BuNA backbone, but not with the shorter GNA linker.

A \(^{Phe}\)dU dimer-containing DNA was shown to efficiently bind a helicase complex, but the covalent crosslink completely prevented DNA unwinding, suggesting possible applications in biochemistry or structural biology.},

  abstract  = {About 2.4 billion years ago, nature has fundamentally revolutionized life on earth by inventing the multi-subunit protein complex photosystem II, the only molecular machine in nature that catalyzes the thermodynamically demanding photosynthetic splitting of water into oxygen and reducing equivalents. Nature chose a distorted Mn4CaO5 cluster as catalyst, better known as oxygen-evolving complex (OEC), thus recognizing the need for transition metals to achieve high-performance catalysts. The curiosity has always driven mankind to mimic nature's achievements, but the performance of natural enzymes such as the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II remain commonly unmatched. An important role in fine-tuning and regulating the activity of natural enzymes is attributed to the surrounding protein domain, which facilitates substrate preorganization within well-defined nanoenvironments. In light of growing energy demands and the depletion of fossil fuels, the unparalleled efficiency of natural photosynthesis inspires chemists to artificially mimic its natural counterpart to generate hydrogen as a 'solar fuel' through the light-driven splitting of water. As a result, significant efforts have been devoted in recent decades to develop molecular water oxidation catalysts based on earth-abundant transition metals and the discovery of the Ru(bda) (bda: 2,2' bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylate) catalyst family enabled activities comparable to the natural OEC. Similar to the natural archetypes, the design of homogeneous catalysts that interplay judiciously with the second coordination sphere of the outer ligand framework proved to be a promising concept for catalyst design. In this present thesis, novel supramolecular design approaches for enzyme like activation of substrate water molecules for the challenging oxidative water splitting reaction were established via tailor-made engineering of the secondary ligand environment of macrocyclic Ru(bda) catalysts.},

  abstract  = {Conspectus Nature has established a sustainable way to maintain aerobic life on earth by inventing one of the most sophisticated biological processes, namely, natural photosynthesis, which delivers us with organic matter and molecular oxygen derived from the two abundant resources sunlight and water. The thermodynamically demanding photosynthetic water splitting is catalyzed by the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II (OEC-PSII), which comprises a distorted tetramanganese-calcium cluster (CaMn\(_4\)O\(_5\)) as catalytic core. As an ubiquitous concept for fine-tuning and regulating the reactivity of the active site of metalloenzymes, the surrounding protein domain creates a sophisticated environment that promotes substrate preorganization through secondary, noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Based on the high-resolution X-ray structure of PSII, several water channels were identified near the active site, which are filled with extensive hydrogen-bonding networks of preorganized water molecules, connecting the OEC with the protein surface. As an integral part of the outer coordination sphere of natural metalloenzymes, these channels control the substrate and product delivery, carefully regulate the proton flow by promoting pivotal proton-coupled electron transfer processes, and simultaneously stabilize short-lived oxidized intermediates, thus highlighting the importance of an ordered water network for the remarkable efficiency of the natural OEC. Transferring this concept from nature to the engineering of artificial metal catalysts for fuel production has fostered the fascinating field of metallosupramolecular chemistry by generating defined cavities that conceptually mimic enzymatic pockets. However, the application of supramolecular approaches to generate artificial water oxidation catalysts remained scarce prior to our initial reports, since such molecular design strategies for efficient activation of substrate water molecules in confined nanoenvironments were lacking. In this Account, we describe our research efforts on combining the state-of-the art Ru(bda) catalytic framework with structurally programmed ditopic ligands to guide the water oxidation process in defined metallosupramolecular assemblies in spatial proximity. We will elucidate the governing factors that control the quality of hydrogen-bonding water networks in multinuclear cavities of varying sizes and geometries to obtain high-performance, state-of-the-art water oxidation catalysts. Pushing the boundaries of artificial catalyst design, embedding a single catalytic Ru center into a well-defined molecular pocket enabled sophisticated water preorganization in front of the active site through an encoded basic recognition site, resulting in high catalytic rates comparable to those of the natural counterpart OEC-PSII. To fully explore their potential for solar fuel devices, the suitability of our metallosupramolecular assemblies was demonstrated under (electro)chemical and photocatalytic water oxidation conditions. In addition, testing the limits of structural diversity allowed the fabrication of self-assembled linear coordination oligomers as novel photocatalytic materials and long-range ordered covalent organic framework (COF) materials as recyclable and long-term stable solid-state materials for future applications.},

  abstract  = {Sialyltransferases (STs) are disulfide-containing, type II transmembrane glycoproteins that catalyze the transfer of sialic acid to proteins and lipids and participate in the synthesis of the core structure oligosaccharides of human milk. Sialic acids are found at the outermost position of glycostructures, playing a key role in health and disease. Sialylation is also essential for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins (RTPs). Despite their importance, availability of sialyltransferases is limited due to the low levels of stable, soluble and active protein produced in bacterial expression systems, which hampers biochemical and structural studies on these enzymes and restricts biotechnological applications. We report the successful expression of active human sialyltransferases ST3Gal1 and ST6Gal1 in commercial Escherichia coli strains designed for production of disulfide-containing proteins. Fusion of hST3Gal1 with different solubility enhancers and substitution of exposed hydrophobic amino acids by negatively charged residues (supercharging-like approach) were performed to promote solubility and folding. Co-expression of sialyltransferases with the chaperon/foldases sulfhydryl oxidase, protein disulfide isomerase and disulfide isomerase C was explored to improve the formation of native disulfide bonds. Active sialyltransferases fused with maltose binding protein (MBP) were obtained in sufficient amounts for biochemical and structural studies when expressed under oxidative conditions and co-expression of folding factors increased the yields of active and properly folded sialyltransferases by 20\%. Mutation of exposed hydrophobic amino acids increased recovery of active enzyme by 2.5-fold, yielding about 7 mg of purified protein per liter culture. Functionality of recombinant enzymes was evaluated in the synthesis of sialosides from the β-d-galactoside substrates lactose, N-acetyllactosamine and benzyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(β-d-galactopyranosyl)-α-d-galactopyranoside.},

  abstract  = {The SARS virus is the etiological agent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome, a deadly disease that caused more than 700 causalities in 2003. One of its viral proteins, the SARS coronavirus main protease, is considered as a potential drug target and represents an important model system for other coronaviruses. Despite extensive knowledge about this enzyme, it still lacks an effective anti-viral drug. Furthermore, it possesses some unusual features related to its active-site region. This work gives atomistic insights into the SARS coronavirus main protease and tries to reveal mechanistic aspects that control catalysis and inhibition. Thereby, it applies state-of-the-art computational methods to develop models for this enzyme that are capable to reproduce and interpreting the experimental observations. The theoretical investigations are elaborated over four main fields that assess the accuracy of the used methods, and employ them to understand the function of the active-site region, the inhibition mechanism, and the ligand binding. The testing of different quantum chemical methods reveals that their performance depends partly on the employed model. This can be a gas phase description, a continuum solvent model, or a hybrid QM/MM approach. The latter represents the preferred method for the atomistic modeling of biochemical reactions. A benchmarking uncovers some serious problems for semi-empirical methods when applied in proton transfer reactions. To understand substrate cleavage and inhibition of SARS coronavirus main protease, proton transfer reactions between the Cys/His catalytic dyad are calculated. Results show that the switching between neutral and zwitterionic state plays a central role for both mechanisms. It is demonstrated that this electrostatic trigger is remarkably influenced by substrate binding. Whereas the occupation of the active-site by the substrate leads to a fostered zwitterion formation, the inhibitor binding does not mimic this effect for the employed example. The underlying reason is related to the coverage of the active-site by the ligand, which gives new implications for rational improvements of inhibitors. More detailed insights into reversible and irreversible inhibition are derived from in silico screenings for the class of Michael acceptors that follow a conjugated addition reaction. From the comparison of several substitution patterns it becomes obvious that different inhibitor warheads follow different mechanisms. Nevertheless, the initial formation of a zwitterionic catalytic dyad is found as a common precondition for all inhibition reactions. Finally, non-covalent inhibitor binding is investigated for the case of SARS coranavirus main protease in complex with the inhibitor TS174. A novel workflow is developed that includes an interplay between theory and experiment in terms of molecular dynamic simulation, tabu search, and X-ray structure refinement. The results show that inhibitor binding is possible for multiple poses and stereoisomers of TS174.},

  abstract  = {Kaum ein Bereich der menschlichen T{\"a}tigkeit hat sich jemals so st{\"u}rmisch entwickelt, wie die Mikro- und Nanoelektronik in den letzten Jahrzehnten. Der rasche Fortschritt dieser Gebiete war m{\"o}glich, weil die Vorteile in der Anwendung der Mikroelektronik den gewaltigen Entwicklungs- und Forschungsaufwand rechtfertigten. Eine besondere Rolle spielt dabei die Herstellung von Halbleiterbauelementen durch Kristallz{\"u}chtungsmethoden. In dieser Arbeit wurden Prozesse untersucht, die sich auf der Kristalloberfl{\"a}che abspielen und somit das Wachstum von hochgeordneten Kristallstrukturen bestimmen. In den vergangenen Jahren wurden mehrere Methoden zur Untersuchung dieser Prozesse entwickelt, deren Pr{\"a}zision sich von Jahr zu Jahr unabl{\"a}ssig steigerte. In der Reihe der theoretischen Ans{\"a}tze stehen quantenchemische Methoden im Vordergrund. Eine von diesen Methoden, die Dichtefunktionaltheorie, ist aufgrund ihrer Anschaulichkeit und des relativ niedrigen Rechenaufwands das Hauptwerkzeug der vorliegenden Arbeit. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden die Wanderungsm{\"o}glichkeiten eines Adsorbatatoms (Cd oder Te) auf der (001) Oberfl{\"a}che von CdTe (Substrat) auf DFT-Niveau im Rahmen der GGA-N{\"a}herung untersucht. Dies erforderte es, die Gesamtenergie des Systems Adsorbat-Kristall an verschiedenen Adsorptionsstellen zu berechnen. Dabei wurde nur ein Teil des Kristalls - das Adsorbat selbst und die n{\"a}chste Umgebung der Adsorptionsstelle (Quantencluster) - auf DFT-Niveau berechnet. Der Einfluss des {\"u}brigen Kristalls auf den Cluster wurde mit einem Gitter aus Punktladungen angen{\"a}hert, wobei die Te- und Cd-Atome die Ladungen \&\#8722;2 bzw. +2 trugen. Bei dem Einsatz dieses Modells ergab sich allerdings das Problem, dass es eigentlich nur auf Ionenkristalle anwendbar ist, die in guter N{\"a}herung volle Ionizit{\"a}t besitzen. CdTe stellt aber laut vielen experimentellen und theoretischen Untersuchungen eine Abstufung zwischen ionischen und kovalenten Kristallen dar, was eine gr{\"u}ndliche Analyse der Abh{\"a}ngigkeit unserer Ergebnisse von der Clustergr{\"o}ße und der Entfernung der Adsorptionsstelle von den Clusterr{\"a}ndern erforderte. Als Ergebnis wurde ein Modell entworfen, das dazu in der Lage ist, die Struktur der (2X1) Te-terminierten CdTe Oberfl{\"a}che mit ausreichender Genauigkeit wiederzugeben. Durch geeignete Wahl des Quantenclusters (ausreichende Gr{\"o}ße in den Richtungen parallel zur Oberfl{\"a}che und Platzierung der weniger polarisierbaren Cd-Kationen an den Außenfl{\"a}chen) gelang es, den Einfluss der Clusteroberfl{\"a}che auf die untersuchten Eigenschaften auf ein akzeptables Maß zu verringern. Die durchgef{\"u}hrten Berechnungen der Cd-Potentialenergiefl{\"a}che zeigen zwei Potentialt{\"o}pfe, mit den Tiefen 2.1 eV und 1.7 eV. Die Existenz dieser beiden Minima ist eng mit der Dimerisierung von Te-Atomen an der adsorbatfreien Te-Oberfl{\"a}che verbunden. Das erste, der Struktur =Te-Cdad-Te= entsprechende Minimum entsteht durch den Bruch einer Te-Te Dimerbindung beim Cd-Angriff an diese Stelle. Der zweite Potentialtopf kommt dadurch zustande, dass das Cd-Adsorbatatom mit zwei entlang der [110]-Richtung angeordneten Te2-Dimeren reagiert. Die Potentialenergiefl{\"a}che des Te-Adsorbats unterscheidet sich zwar wesentlich von der des Cd-Atoms, es gibt aber auch {\"A}hnlichkeiten. Das gilt vor allem f{\"u}r das der Struktur =Te-Tead-Te= entsprechende Minimum, das ungef{\"a}hr 2.8 eV tief ist. Wie im Fall der Cd-Adsorption entsteht diese Struktur infolge der Wechselwirkung eines adsorbierten Te-Atoms mit einem Te2-Dimer auf der Oberfl{\"a}che. Die Ergebnisse unserer Berechnungen best{\"a}tigen experimentelle Hinweise, gem{\"a}ß denen Te- und Cd-Atome aus dem Teilchenfluss, dem die (2X1)Te Oberfl{\"a}che w{\"a}hrend der MBE ausgesetzt ist, leicht adsorbiert werden. Außerdem wurden die relativ genauen Werte der Potentialbarrieren bekommen, die f{\"u}r ein besseres Verst{\"a}ndnis des Wachstumsprozesses zum Beispiel mit Hilfe von Monte-Carlo-Simulationen notwendig sind. Im Vordergrund des zweiten Teils der vorliegenden Arbeit stand die Strukturbestimmung von ZnO-Nanoclustern, die durch spezielle Kristallisationsprozesse erzeugt werden und wegen ihrer eigenartigen optischen und elektronischen Eigenschaften von großem Interesse sind. Zwei grunds{\"a}tzlich unterschiedliche Atomanordnungen wurden betrachtet, wobei festgestellt werden sollte, welche dieser Strukturen in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von der Clustergr{\"o}ße und der Umgebung stabiler ist. Angenommen wurde dabei, dass diese Tendenz bei der weiteren Vergr{\"o}ßerung der Atomanzahl von Hundert bis mehreren Tausenden erhalten bleibt. Die Clustermodelle erster Art besaßen die f{\"u}r ZnO-Verbindungen typische Wurtzitstruktur, die anderen, sogenannten K{\"a}figcluster, bestanden aus Zn3O3- und (oder) Zn2O2-Ringen, die so verkn{\"u}pft sind, dass sie kugel- oder zylinderf{\"o}rmige Strukturen bilden. Charakteristisch f{\"u}r letztere Cluster ist eine Homogenit{\"a}t der Atomumgebung, da alle Zn- und O-Atome dreifach koordiniert sind, w{\"a}hrend sie in Wurtzitstrukturen im Wesentlichen vierfach koordiniert sind. Durch Kn{\"u}pfung zus{\"a}tzlicher Zn-O Bindungen konnte die Anzahl der in Frage kommenden Strukturen nennenswert vergr{\"o}ßert werden. Dabei entstehen vierfach koordinierten Atome und, laut den Berechnungen, deutlich stabilere Cluster. Die Rechnungen wurden sowohl im Vakuum als auch im Rahmen des COSMO Verfahrens (im „Wasser") durchgef{\"u}hrt. Sie ergaben, dass die Wurtzitstrukturen bei der Zunahme der Atomanzahl stabiler werden als ihre K{\"a}fig-Analoge. Dieses Ergebnis ist allerdings eher von theoretischem Interesse, da die experimentell in einer L{\"o}sung gez{\"u}chteten ZnO-Nanocluster an ihrer Oberfl{\"a}che mit Molek{\"u}len aus der L{\"o}sung bedeckt sind. Ein weiterer Schritt war daher, den Einfluss der Umgebung auf die Bildungsenergie durch die Abs{\"a}ttigung der Oberfl{\"a}che mit H+- und OH\&\#8722;-Ionen zu simulieren. Als Bezugspunkt f{\"u}r die Berechnung der Bildungsenergie der verschiedenen Cluster wurde der Molek{\"u}lkomplex Zn(OH)2(H2O)2 verwendet. Mit anderen Worten wurde angenommen, dass ein freies Zn2+-Ion in der L{\"o}sung von zwei OH\&\#8722;-Gruppen und zwei H2O-Molek{\"u}len umgeben ist. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Abs{\"a}ttigung einen starken Einfluss auf die Randbereiche der wurtzitartigen Cluster aus{\"u}bt. Bei fast allen Clustermodellen sind diese stark verformt, w{\"a}hrend bei den K{\"a}figstrukturen nur deutlich geringere Verzerrungen beobachtet werden. Ebenso stark ist der Einfluss auf die Bildungsenergie: Verglichen mit ihren unabges{\"a}ttigten Analogen werden alle abges{\"a}ttigte Strukturen erheblich stabiler, was auf die Tatsache zur{\"u}ckzuf{\"u}hren ist, dass durch die OH\&\#8722; -Gruppen und H+-Kationen die freien Valenzen an der Clusteroberfl{\"a}che abges{\"a}ttigt werden. Ansonsten lassen sich bei den abges{\"a}ttigten Strukturen dieselben Tendenzen erkennen, wie bei nicht abges{\"a}ttigten. So werden Wurtzitstrukturen mit zunehmender Clustergr{\"o}ße energetisch g{\"u}nstiger als K{\"a}figstrukturen mit der gleichen Anzahl an Atomen. Da es die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit festgestellten Regelm{\"a}ßigkeiten erm{\"o}glichen, die stabilsten ZnO-Atomanordnungen auf die hier Betrachteten einzuschr{\"a}nken, ergibt sich, dass die stabilste Struktur f{\"u}r Nanocluster wurtzitartig ist. Dies stimmt auch mit allen verf{\"u}gbaren experimentellen Daten {\"u}berein.},

  abstract  = {The present thesis demonstrates how different thermodynamic aspects of self-assembly and stimuli-responsive properties in water can be encoded on the structure of π-amphiphiles, consisting of perylene or naphthalene bisimide cores. Initially, quantitative thermodynamic insights into the entropically-driven self-assembly was studied for a series of naphthalene bisimides with UV/Vis and ITC measurements, which demonstrated that their thermodynamic profile of aggregation is heavily influenced by the OEG side chains. Subsequently, a control over the bifurcated thermal response of entropically driven and commonly observed enthalpically driven self-assembly was achieved by the modulation of glycol chain orientation. Finally, Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) phenomenon observed for these dyes was investigated as a precise control of this behavior is quintessential for self-assembly studies as well as to generate 'smart' materials. It could be shown that the onset of phase separation for these molecules can be encoded in their imide substituents, and they are primarily determined by the supramolecular packing, rather than the hydrophobicity of individual monomers.},

Recently, it has been shown that sphingolipids show antimicrobial activity against a broad range of pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial mechanism, however, remains so far elusive. Here, we introduce 'click-AT-CLEM', a labeling technique for correlated light and electron microscopy (CLEM) based on the super-resolution array tomography (srAT) approach and bio-orthogonal click chemistry for imaging of azido-tagged sphingolipids to directly visualize their interaction with the model Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis at subcellular level. We observed ultrastructural damage of bacteria and disruption of the bacterial outer membrane induced by two azido-modified sphingolipids by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Click-AT-CLEM imaging and mass spectrometry clearly revealed efficient incorporation of azido-tagged sphingolipids into the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria as underlying cause of their antimicrobial activity.},

  abstract  = {Das Ph{\"a}nomen der Axialchiralit{\"a}t von Biarylverbindungen wurde erstmalig 1922 beschrieben. Jedoch wurde die Suche nach stereoselektiven Zugangswegen zu dieser Stoffklasse lange Zeit vernachl{\"a}ssigt, obwohl derartige Verbindungen außergew{\"o}hnliche pharmakologische Aktivit{\"a}ten aufweisen und das Strukturelement der rotationsgehinderten Biarylachse in immer mehr chiralen Liganden, Auxiliaren und Reagenzien als stereogenes Element auftritt. Im Arbeitskreis Bringmann gelang durch die Entwicklung der 'Lacton-Methodik' ein konzeptionell v{\"o}llig neuartiger Zugang zu rotationsgehinderten und somit optisch aktiven Biarylen. Dieses Verfahren ist einzigartig, da es die beiden entscheidenden Reaktionsschritte, die Bildung der Biarylbindung sowie die Festlegung der Stereochemie, zeitlich voneinander separiert, was eine unabh{\"a}ngige Optimierung erlaubt. Die entscheidenden Schl{\"u}sselintermediate sind die konfigurativ noch nicht festgelegten Biaryllactone, welche nach Vorfixierung der beiden molekularen H{\"a}lften und mittels einer Esterbr{\"u}cke durch eine intramolekulare Kreuzkupplung erhalten werden. Diese Lactone sind nicht flach, sondern liegen in einem Gleichgewicht als racemische Mischung ihrer beiden atropisomeren Formen vor. Aus diesem Gleichgewicht ist es m{\"o}glich, mittels chiraler Nucleophile im Sinne einer dynamisch kinetischen Racematspaltung unter externer Stereoinduktion konfigurativ stabile Biaryle in atropisomerenreiner Form zu erhalten. In dieser Dissertation wurde das oben beschriebene Syntheseprinzip zur Synthese einer Reihe axialchiraler P,N- und Phosphinliganden genutzt. Des weiteren wurde die Etablierung von Zugangswegen zu dreifach axialchiralen tripodalen Liganden mit unterschiedlicher Topologie erreicht. Das katalytische Potential dieser verschiedenen Auxiliare wurde in einigen g{\"a}ngigen Testreaktionen wie Hydrosilylierungen, asymmetrischen Diethylzink-Additionen und atropselektiven Suzuki-Kupplungen evaluiert.},

However, most of those measuring setups are either limited to a single substrate or do not allow for control over ligand distance and spacing. Here, we develop a synthetic strategy, consisting of a cascade of a thioesterification, native chemical ligation (NCL) and thiol-ene reaction, in order to create three-component polymer conjugates with a defined double bioactivation at the chain end. The target architecture is the vicinal attachment of two biomolecule residues to the α telechelic end point of a polymer and a thioether group at the ω chain end for fixating the conjugate to a gold sensor chip surface. As proof-of-principle studies for affinity measurements, we demonstrate the interaction between covalently bound mannose and ConA in surface acoustic wave (SAW) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments.},

  abstract  = {The quantum efficiency of light emission is a crucial parameter of supramolecular aggregates that can be tuned by the molecular design of the monomeric species. Here, we report on a strong variation of the fluorescence quantum yield due to different phases of aggregation for the case of a perylene bisimide dye. In particular, a change of the dominant aggregation character from H- to J-type within the first aggregation steps is found, explaining the observed dramatic change in quantum yield. This behaviour is rationalised by means of a systematic study of the intermolecular potential energy surfaces using the time-dependent density functional based tight-binding (TD-DFTB) method. This provides a correlation between structural changes and a coupling strength and supports the notion of H- type stacked dimers and J-type stack-slipped dimers. The exciton-vibrational level structure is modelled by means of an excitonic dimer model including two effective vibrational modes per monomer. Calculated absorption and fluorescence spectra are found to be in reasonable agreement with experimental ones, thus supporting the conclusion on the aggregation behaviour.},

We observed that an increase in the curcumin loading of triblock copolymers based on poly(2-oxazolines) and poly(2-oxazines) results in poorer dissolution properties. Using solid-state NMR spectroscopy and complementary tools we propose a loading-dependent structural model on the molecular level that provides an explanation for these pronounced differences. Changes in the chemical shifts and cross-peaks in 2D NMR experiments give evidence for the involvement of the hydrophobic polymer block in the curcumin coordination at low loadings, while at higher loadings an increase in the interaction with the hydrophilic polymer blocks is observed. The involvement of the hydrophilic compartment may be critical for ultrahigh-loaded polymer micelles and can help to rationalize specific polymer modifications to improve the performance of similar drug delivery systems.},

  abstract  = {Biomolecules are difficult to investigate in their native environment. The vast complexity of cellular systems and seldom availability of chemical reactions compatible with the physiological milieu make it a challenging task. Bioorthogonal chemical reactions serve as a key to achieve selective ligation, whose components must react rapidly and selectively with each other under physiological conditions in the presence of the plethora of functionalities necessary to sustain life. In this dissertation, we focused on the synthesis of chemical reporters and probe molecules for bioorthogonal labeling through click reaction. Initially, sialic acid derivatives with a linker containing terminal alkyne functionality were synthesized. After the synthesis of azide derivatives of fluorescent dyes as counter partners, they were conjugated with sialic acids through Cu(I) catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition (CuAAC). The successful in vitro conjugation of Sia and fluorescent dyes was followed by metabolic tagging of human larynx carcinoma (HEp-2) and the carcinoma of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO­K1) with alkynated Sia that were subsequently ligated with fluorescein azide. Finally, the stained cells were subjected to fluorescent microscopy to obtain their images. To enable the click reaction compatible to in vivo applications, the reactivity of cyclooctyne was enhanced by two different approaches. In a first approach, following the Bertozzi's strategy, two fluorine atoms were introduced adjacent to the alkyne to lower the LUMO. In a second strategy the ring strain of cyclooctyne was attempted to be enhanced by the introduction of an amide group. In addition, glutarimide derivatives with free amino and carboxylic acid functional groups were synthesized by domino-Michael addition-cyclization-reaction.},

  abstract  = {Chemical processes mostly happen in fluid environments where reaction partners encounter via diffusion. The bimolecular encounters take place at a nanosecond time scale. The chemical environment (e.g., solvent molecules, (counter)ions) has a decisive influence on the reactivity as it determines the contact time between two molecules and affects the energetics. For understanding reactivity at an atomic level and at the appropriate dynamic time scale, it is crucial to combine matching experimental and theoretical data. Here, we have utilized all-atom molecular-dynamics simulations for accessing the key time scale (nanoseconds) using a QM/MM-Hamiltonian. Ion pairs consisting of a radical ion and its counterion are ideal systems to assess the theoretical predictions because they reflect dynamics at an appropriate time scale when studied by temperature-dependent EPR spectroscopy. We have investigated a diketone radical anion with its tetra-ethylammonium counterion. We have established a funnel-like transition path connecting two (equivalent) complexation sites. The agreement between the molecular-dynamics simulation and the experimental data presents a new paradigm for ion-ion interactions. This study exemplarily demonstrates the impact of the molecular environment on the topological states of reaction intermediates and how these states can be consistently elucidated through the combination of theory and experiment. We anticipate that our findings will contribute to the prediction of bimolecular transformations in the condensed phase with relevance to chemical synthesis, polymers, and biological activity.},

  abstract  = {In recent years, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted considerable attention due to their crystalline and porous nature, which positions them as intriguing candidates for diverse applications such as catalysis, sensing, or optoelectronics. The incorporation of dyes or semiconducting moieties into a rigid two-dimensional COF can offer emergent features such as enhanced light harvesting or charge transport. However, this approach can be challenging when dealing with dye molecules that exhibit a large aromatic backbone, since the steric demand of solubilizing side chains also needs to be integrated into the framework. Here, we report the successful synthesis of DPP2-HHTP-COF consisting of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) diboronic acid and hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) building blocks. The well-known boronate ester coupling motif guides the formation of a planar and rigid backbone and long-range molecular DPP stacks, resulting in a highly crystalline and porous material. DPP2-HHTP-COF exhibits excellent optical properties including strong absorption over the visible spectral range, broad emission into the NIR and a singlet lifetime of over 5 ns attributed to the formation of molecular stacks with J-type interactions between the DPP subcomponents in the COF. Electrical measurements of crystalline DPP2-HHTP-COF pellets revealed conductivity values of up to 10(-6) S cm(-1).},

  abstract  = {This PhD thesis introduced several concepts for the construction of new supramolecular assem-blies in polar solvents. Although the building blocks differ in their binding mode and association strength they follow the same principle: one main driving force for the self-assembly in polar solutions in combination with one texturing force. The main self-assembly process is based on the mutual interaction of hydrogen-bond enforced ion pairs which deliver the association energy needed for stable, supramolecular structures even in polar solvents. The texturing force itself is represented by the linkers between the zwitterionic building blocks or parts of them. The different length and functionalization of the linkers have a tremendous influence on the mode of self-assembly leading to cyclic dimers, vesicles, layers or solid spheres. Hence, this principle is suitable for the construction of programmable monomers. Since the derivatisation of the main binding motive is rather simple it offers a great number of new and undoubtedly fascinating structures with potential applications in material and biomimetic science.},

  abstract  = {In the first part of the work three polycarbazoles poly[N-((4-dimesitylboryl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-carbazole]-2,7-diyl P1, poly[N-((4-dimesitylboryl)-3,5-dimethylphenyl)-carbazole]-3,6-diyl P2 and poly[N-(4-(diphenylmethylene)-phenyl)- carbazole]-2,7-diyl P3 were synthesized by Yamamoto coupling reaction and their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties were investigated. Absorption and fluorescence characteristics of P1 and P3 were found to be similar to other 2,7-linked polycarbazoles, whereas P2 shows a CT absorption band arising from a shift of electron density from the nitrogen of the carbazole donor to the triarylborane acceptor. This causes a negative solvatochromic absorption and a positive solvatochromic fluorescence behaviour and is responsible for the significantly enlarged fluorescence quantum efficiency in solution and solid state compared to other 3,6-linked polycarbazoles. Thus the spectroscopic properties are governed by the connection pattern: the 2,7-linked polycarbazoles are not affected by the acceptor substituent due to the rigid poly-para-phenylene-like backbone structure, whereas the 3,6-linked polycarbazole P2 is dominated by the properties of the monomer unit due to its more flexible (less conjugated) structure. The oxidative processes of P1-P3 have been investigated in detail by cyclic voltammetry, which are similar to known 2,7- and 3,6-polycarbazoles. The reversible reduction found for P1 and P2, respectively, is attributed to the reduction of the triarylborane moiety. No reduction process referring to the carbazole moiety was observed. Due to its better solubility compared to P1 and P3 only P2 was used as active layer in an OLED device (ITO/P2/Al). The electroluminescence spectrum revealed CIE coordinates of (0.17, 0.21). In the second part of the work the low band gap polyradical poly{[((2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenyl)-bis(2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenyl)methyl radical)-4,4'-diyl]-alt-4,4'-bis(vinylphenyl)-4-(2-ethylhexyloxy)phenylamin} P4 was synthesized by Horner-Emmons reaction. It shows an IV-CT band in the NIR, which arises from an ET from the triarylamine donor to the PCTM radical acceptor. This transition is confined to one monomer unit as deduced from comparison with the monomer spectra. HOMO and LUMO of P4 determined by cyclic voltammetry are at -5.5 and -4.5 eV, respectively. The smaller electrochemical band gap (1.0 eV) compared to the optical band gap (1.2 eV) is probably caused by ion pairing effects in the electrochemical experiments and indicates a low exciton binding energy. Femtosecond-pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy revealed the spectral features of the oxidized triarylamine donor and the reduced PCTM acceptor similar to the spectra obtained separately for positive and negative potentials by spectroelectrochemistry. Thus the ET event causing the IV-CT absorption band could unambiguously be identified. The decay of the IV-CT state was found to be biexponential. The fast solvent dependent decay component is ascribed to the direct decay from the IV-CT state to the ground state, whereas the slow solvent independent decay component is tentatively attributed to an equilibrium formation of the IV-CT state and a completely charge separated state formed by charge migration along the polymer backbone. Well balanced ambipolar charge transport with hole and electron mobilities of ca. 3 × 10-5 cm2 V-1 s-1 was found in OFET devices (BG/TC structure) comprising an additional insulating organic PPcB layer. Polymer/polymer BHJ solar cell devices with the structure glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/(P3HT/P4)/Ca/Al yielded a power conversion efficiency of 3.1 × 10-3 \%, VOC = 0.38 V, JSC = 2.8 × 10-2 mA cm-2 and FF = 0.29 for the 1:4 (P3HT/P4) blend ratio. The improper solid state morphology of P4 that causes the unsatisfying performance of OFET and solar cell devices renders P4 less suitable for these applications, whereas the hypothesis of charge migration in the excited state is worth to be investigated in more detail.},

Accordingly, the goal of the work was to synthesize and investigate an electron-poor corannulene bis(dicarboximide) based on previously published work but with higher solubility and less steric encumbrance in imide position to enable self-assembly in solution.

As of yet, no concise study concerning the optical and electronic properties of differently core-substituted PBIs in the neutral as well as the mono- and dianionic state in solution is available, which also elucidates the origin of the different optical transitions observed in the absorption and emission spectra.

  abstract  = {In this thesis, the photophysics and spin chemistry of donor-photosensitizer-acceptor triads were investigated. While all investigated triads comprised a TAA as an electron donor and a NDI as an electron acceptor, the central photosensitizers (PS) were different chromophores based on the dipyrrin-motif. The purity and identity of all target compounds could be confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The first part of the work dealt with dipyrrinato-complexes of cyclometalated heavy transition metals. The successful synthesis of novel triads based on Ir(III), Pt(II) and Pd(II) was presented. The optical and electrochemical properties indicated charge separation (CS), which was confirmed by transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. TA-spectroscopy also revealed that the process of CS is significantly slower and less efficient for the triads based on Pt(II) and Pd(II) than for the analogous Ir(III) triads. This is mostly due to a much more convoluted reaction pathway, comprising several intermediate states before the formation of the final charge separated state (CSS2). On the other hand, CSS2 exhibits long lifetimes which are dependent on the central metal ion. While the Ir(III) triads show lifetimes of about 0.5 µs in MeCN, the Pt(II) and Pd(II) analogues show lifetimes of 1.5 µs. The magnetic field effect on the charge recombination (CR) kinetics of CSS2 was investigated by magnetic field dependent ns-TA spectroscopy and could be rationalized based on a classical kinetic scheme comprising only one magnetic field dependent rate constant k±. The behavior of k± shows a clear separation of the coherent and incoherent spin interconversion mechanisms. While the coherent spin evolution is due to the isotropic hyperfine coupling with the magnetic nuclei of the radical centers, the incoherent spin relaxation is due to a rotational modulation of the anisotropic hyperfine coupling tensor and is strongly dependent on the viscosity of the solvent. This dependence could be used to measure the nanoviscosity of the oligomeric solvent pTHF, which was found to be distinctly different from its macroviscosity. The second part of the work dealt with bisdipyrrinato complexes and their bridged porphodimethenato (PDM) analogues. Initially, the suitability of the different chromophores for the use as PS in donor-acceptor substituted triads was tested by a systematic investigation of their steady state and transient properties. While the PDM-complex of Zn(II) and Pd(II) exhibited promising characteristics such as a high exited state lifetime and relatively intense emission, the purely organic parent PDM and the non-bridged bisdipyrrinato-Pd(II) complex were less suitable. The difference between the two Pd(II) complexes could be explained by a structural rearrangement of the non-bridged complex which results in a non-emissive metal centered triplet state with disphenoidal geometry. This rearrangement is prevented by the dimethylmethylene-bridges in the bridged analogue resulting in higher phosphorescence quantum yields and excited state lifetimes. With the exception of the Zn(II)PDM-complex, the synthesis of novel donor acceptor substituted triads could be realized for all desired central chromophores. They were investigated equivalently to the cyclometalated triads described in the first part. The steady state properties indicate a stronger electronic coupling between the subunits due to the lack of unsaturated bridges between the donor and the central chromophore. Photoinduced CS occurs in all investigated triads. Due to the low exited state lifetimes of the central chromophores, CSS is formed less efficiently for the triads based on the unbridged Pd(II)-complex as well as the purely organic PDM. In the triad based on the bridged Pd(II) complex, the CR of CSS2 is faster than its formation resulting in low intermediate concentrations. For its elongated analogue, this is not the case and CSS2 can be observed clearly. Although the spin-chemistry of the triads based on bisdipyrrinato-Pd(II) and porphodimethenato-Pd(II) is less well understood, first interpretations of the magnetic field dependent decay kinetics gave results approximately equivalent to those obtained for the cyclometalated triads. Furthermore, the MFE was shown to be useful for the investigation of the quantum yield of CS and the identity of the observed CSSs. In both parts of this work, the influence of the central photosensitizer on the photophysics and the spin chemistry of the triads could be shown. While the process of CS is directly dependent on the PS, the PS usually is not directly involved in the final CSSs. None the less, it can still indirectly affect the CR and spin chemistry of the CSS since it influences the electronic coupling between donor and acceptor, as well as the geometry of the triads.},

  abstract  = {The goal of this thesis was to investigate the influence of rotational restriction between individual parts and of the varying electron density in the bridging unit of D B A systems on the exchange interaction 2J, and thus the electronic coupling between a donor state and an acceptor state. A better understanding of how to influence the underlaying spin dynamics in such donor acceptor systems can open up the door to new technologies, such as modern molecular electronics or optoelectronic devices. Therefore, three series of molecules consisting of a TAA electron donor, a TTC or ATC bridging unit and a PDI electron acceptor were studied. To investigate the influence of rotational restriction on 2J and the electronic coupling, a series of four rotationally hindered triads (chapter 6) was synthesised. The dihedral angle between the TAA and the TTC as well as between the TTC and the PDI was restricted by ortho methyl groups at the phenylene linkers of the connecting ends to the TTC bridge, producing a twist around the linking single bond which minimises the π overlap. The triads exhibit varying numbers of ortho methyl groups and therefore different degrees of rotational restriction. In order to shine light on the influence of varying electron density on 2J and the electronic coupling, a series of four substituted triptycene triads (chapter 7) was synthesised. The electron density in the TTC bridging unit was varied by electron donating and electron withdrawing groups in 12,13 position of the TTC bridging unit and thus varying its HOMO/LUMO energy. The last series of two anthracene bridge triads (chapter 8) connected both approaches by restricting the rotation with ortho methyl groups and simultaneously by varying the bridge energies. In order to obtain the electronic properties, steady state absorption and emission spectra of all triads were investigated (chapter 4). Here, all triads show spectral features associated with the separate absorption bands of TAA and the PDI moiety. The reduced QYs, compared to the unsubstituted PDI acceptor, indicate a non radiative quenching mechanism in all triads. The CV data (chapter 5) were used to calculate the energies of possible CSSs and those results were used to assign the CR dynamics into the different Marcus regions. fs TA measurements reveal that all triads form a CSS upon excitation of the PDI moiety. The lifetimes of the involved states and the rate constants were determined by global exponential fits and global target analysis. The CR dynamics upon depopulation of the CSSs were investigated using external magnetic field dependent ns TA spectroscopy. The ns TA maps show that all triads recombine via CRT pathway populating the local 3PDI state in toluene and provided the respective lifetimes. The approximate QYs of triplet formation were determined using actinometry. The magnetic field dependent ns TA data reveal the exchange interaction 2J between singlet and triplet CSS for each triad. Those magnetic field dependent ns TA data in toluene were furthermore treated using a quantum mechanical simulation (done by U.E. Steiner) to extract the rate constants kT and kS for CRT and CRS, respectively. However, the error margins of kS were rather wide. Finally, the electronic couplings between the donor and the acceptor states were obtained by combining the aforementioned experimental results of the rate constants and applying the Bixon Jortner theoretical description of diabatic ET and Andersons perturbative theory of the exchange coupling. Therefore, the experimentally determined values of 2J and the calculated values of kCS and kT were used. The rate constant kS was calculated based on the electronic coupling V1CSS 1S0. The rotationally hindered triads (chapter 6) show a strong influence of the degree of rotational restriction on the lifetimes and rate constants of the CS processes. The rate constants of CS are increasing with increasing rotational freedom. The magnetic field dependent decay data show that the exchange interactions increase with increasing rotational freedom. Based on the CR dynamics, the calculated electronic couplings of the ET processes reflect the same trend along the series. Here, only singlet couplings turned out to be strongly influenced while the triplet couplings are not. Therefore, this series shows that the ET dynamics of donor acceptor systems can strongly be influenced by restricting the rotational freedom. In the substituted triptycene triads (chapter 7), decreasing electron density in the bridging unit causes a decrease of the CS rate constants. The magnetic field dependent decay data show that with decreasing electron density in the bridge the exchange interaction decreases. The CR dynamics-based rate constants and the electronic couplings follow the same trend as the exchange interaction. This series shows that varying the HOMO/LUMO levels of the connecting bridge between donor and acceptor strongly influences the ET processes. In the anthracene bridge triads (chapter 8), the CS process is slow in both triads. The CR was fast in the anthracene triad and is slowed down in the methoxy substituted anthracene bridge triad. The increase of the exchange interaction with increasing electron density in the bridge was more pronounced than in the substituted triptycene triads. Thus, the variation of electron density in the bridge strongly influences the ET processes even though the rotation is restricted. In this thesis, it was shown that the influence of the rotational hindrance as well as the electron density in a connecting bridge have strong influence on all ET processes and the electronic coupling in donor acceptor systems. These approaches can therefore be used to modify magnetic properties of new materials.},

  abstract  = {This review aims at juxtaposing common versus distinct structural and functional strategies that are applied by aptamers, riboswitches, and ribozymes/DNAzymes. Focusing on recently discovered systems, we begin our analysis with small-molecule binding aptamers, with emphasis on in vitro-selected fluorogenic RNA aptamers and their different modes of ligand binding and fluorescence activation. Fundamental insights are much needed to advance RNA imaging probes for detection of exo- and endogenous RNA and for RNA process tracking. Secondly, we discuss the latest gene expression-regulating mRNA riboswitches that respond to the alarmone ppGpp, to PRPP, to NAD+, to adenosine and cytidine diphosphates, and to precursors of thiamine biosynthesis (HMP-PP), and we outline new subclasses of SAM and tetrahydrofolate-binding RNA regulators. Many riboswitches bind protein enzyme cofactors that, in principle, can catalyse a chemical reaction. For RNA, however, only one system (glmS ribozyme) has been identified in Nature thus far that utilizes a small molecule - glucosamine-6-phosphate - to participate directly in reaction catalysis (phosphodiester cleavage). We wonder why that is the case and what is to be done to reveal such likely existing cellular activities that could be more diverse than currently imagined. Thirdly, this brings us to the four latest small nucleolytic ribozymes termed twister, twister-sister, pistol, and hatchet as well as to in vitro selected DNA and RNA enzymes that promote new chemistry, mainly by exploiting their ability for RNA labelling and nucleoside modification recognition. Enormous progress in understanding the strategies of nucleic acids catalysts has been made by providing thorough structural fundaments (e.g. first structure of a DNAzyme, structures of ribozyme transition state mimics) in combination with functional assays and atomic mutagenesis.},

  abstract  = {In the course of this work, a total of three photocatalytically active dyads for proton reduction could be synthesized together with the associated individual components. Two of them, D1 and D2, comprised a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ photosensitizer and D3 an [Ir(ppy)2bpy]+ photosensitizer. A Ppyr3-substituted propyldithiolate [FeFe] complex was used as catalyst in all systems. The absorption spectroscopic and electrochemical investigations showed that an inner-dyadic electronic coupling is effectively prevented in the dyads due to conjugation blockers within the bridging units used. The photocatalytic investigations exhibited that all dyad containing two-component systems (2CS) showed a significantly worse performance than the corresponding bimolecular three-component systems (3CS). Transient absorption spectroscopy showed that the 2CS behave very similarly to the associated multicomponent systems during photocatalysis. The electron that was intended for the intramolecular transfer from the photosensitizer unit to the catalyst unit within the dyads remains at the photosensitizer for a relatively long time, analogous to the 3CS and despite the covalently bound catalyst. It is therefore assumed that this intramolecular electron transfer is likely to be hindered as a result of the weak electronic coupling caused by the bridge units used. Instead, the system bypasses this through an intermolecular transfer to other dyad molecules in the immediate vicinity. In addition, with the help of emission quenching experiments and electrochemical investigations, it could be clearly concluded that all investigated systems proceed via the reductive quenching mechanism during photocatalysis.},

  abstract  = {Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es zum einen, das Potential von chiralen Eisenporphyrin- und Mangansalen-Katalysatoren zur kinetischen Racematspaltung sekund{\"a}rer Allylalkohole durch asymmetrische Epoxidierung auszuloten. Zum anderen sollten Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus der Jacobsen-Katsuki-Epoxidierung durchgef{\"u}hrt werden; ein besonderes Augenmerk lag dabei auf der Fragestellung, welche Faktoren dazu f{\"u}hren, dass bei der Umsetzung von cis-Olefinen ein Gemisch aus cis- und trans-Epoxiden erhalten wird. Eine Auswahl arylsubstituierter Allylalkohole IIa-f wurde mit den Katalysatoren Ia und Ib,c und 0.8 bzw. 0.6 {\"A}quivalenten an Iodosobenzol als Sauerstoffdonor umgesetzt (Gl. I), wobei es zu einer kinetischen Racematspaltung kommt. Die Oxidation verl{\"a}uft f{\"u}r beide Katalysatorsysteme sowohl chemoselektiv (vorwiegend Epoxidierung) als auch diastereoselektiv (dr bis zu > 95:5). Als Hauptprodukte werden f{\"u}r die offenkettigen Allylalkohole IIa,e,f die threo-konfigurierten Epoxyalkohole III erhalten, w{\"a}hrend die cyclischen Allylakohole IIb-d die entsprechenden cis-Epoxyalkohole III lieferen. 1,1-Dimethyl-1,2-dihydro-2-naphthol (IIc) ist hierbei eine Ausnahme, da die CH-Oxidation dieses Substrats eine beachtliche Nebenreaktion darstellt. Der Hauptunterschied zwischen den Fe- und Mn-Katalysatoren liegt in der Enantioselektivit{\"a}t: W{\"a}hrend mit dem Fe(porph*)-Komplex Ia nur Selektivit{\"a}ten von maximal 43 Prozent ee (krel = 2.7) erzielt werden, erwiesen sich die Mn(salen*)-Komplexe Ib,c als geeignete Katalysatoren, mit denen ee-Werte von bis zu 80 Prozent (krel = 12.9) erreicht werden. Die in der kinetischen Racematspaltung erzielten Selektivit{\"a}ten k{\"o}nnen durch ein synergistisches Zusammenwirken von hydroxy-dirigierendem Effekt einerseits und sterischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Substrat und Eisen-Komplex oder, im Falle des Mangan-Komplexes, Angriff des Olefins entlang der so genannten Katsuki-Trajektorie andererseits erkl{\"a}rt werden. Fazit: Die chiralen Mn(salen*)-Komplexe Ib,c sind wirkungsvolle Katalysatoren f{\"u}r die asymmetrische Epoxidierung racemischer sekund{\"a}rer Allylalkohole II. In exzellenten Chemo- und Diastereoselektivit{\"a}ten entstehen die entsprechenden Epoxyalkohole III mit ee-Werten bis zu 80 Prozent. Die zur{\"u}ckbleibenden Allylalkohole werden dabei bis zu 53 Prozent ee angereichert. Im Vergleich dazu weist der Eisenkomplex Ia eine ungleich geringere Enantioselektivit{\"a}t auf. Mechanistische Untersuchungen mit Vinylcyclopropan Va ergeben, dass die Jacobsen-Katsuki-Epoxidierung nicht {\"u}ber ein kationisches, sondern {\"u}ber ein radikalisches Intermediat abl{\"a}uft. Dies wird anhand von Produktstudien durch reversed phase-HPLC-Analytik belegt. In weitergehenden Untersuchungen mit cis-Stilben (Vb) und cis-\&\#61538;-Methylstyrol (Vc) als Sonden zur cis/trans-Isomerisierung wurde festgestellt, dass die Diastereoselektivit{\"a}t der Epoxidierung nicht nur vom Gegenion des Mangankatalysators Ib, sondern auch von der eingesetzten Sauerstoffquelle [OxD] abh{\"a}ngt. Daher musste der Katalysezyklus (Schema A) um eine diastereoselektivit{\"a}ts-bestimmende Gabelung erweitert werden: Das prim{\"a}r entstehende MnIII(OxD)-Addukt kann entweder unter Abspaltung der Fluchtgruppe zum etablierten MnV(oxo)-Komplex reagieren (Weg 1) oder direkt das Olefin epoxidieren (Weg 2). W{\"a}hrend die Sauerstoff{\"u}bertragung durch die Oxo-Spezies stufenweise {\"u}ber ein Radikalintermediat verl{\"a}uft und damit zu einer Mischung aus cis- und trans-Epoxid f{\"u}hrt, erfolgt der Lewis{\"a}ure-aktivierte Sauerstofftransfer konzertiert. Der Gegenion-Effekt auf die cis/trans-Isomerisierung erkl{\"a}rt sich dahingehend, dass die Natur des Anions (koordinierend oder nicht-koordinierend) die Lebensdauer des Radikalintermediats und/oder die Lage und Selektivit{\"a}t der Energiehyperfl{\"a}chen der verschiedenen Spinzust{\"a}nde des MnV(oxo)-Oxidans beeinflusst. Fazit: In der Jacobsen-Katsuki-Epoxidierung existiert neben dem etablierten MnV(oxo)-Oxidans zumindest noch ein weiteres; dabei handelt es sich um das MnIII(OxD)-Addukt, dessen Sauerstoff Lewiss{\"a}ure-aktiviert {\"u}bertragen wird. Ein unterschiedlicher Anteil der beiden Reaktionskan{\"a}le erkl{\"a}rt die Unterschiede im Ausmaß der cis/trans-Isomerisierung. Auch das Gegenion des Mangan-Komplexes Ib beeinflusst die cis/trans-Diastereoselektivit{\"a}t. Mit koordinierenden Gegenionen dominiert Isomerisierung zum trans-Epoxid, w{\"a}hrend nicht-koordinierende Gegenionen bevorzugt zum cis-Epoxid f{\"u}hren.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Entwicklung von k{\"u}nstlichen Rezeptoren f{\"u}r biologisch relevante Oligopeptide und besteht aus drei Teilen. Im ersten Teil wurde auf der Basis von computergest{\"u}tzten de novo Berechnungen ein k{\"u}nstlicher Rezeptor f{\"u}r den D-Alanin-D-Alanin-C-Terminus entwickelt. Diese Peptidsequenz befindet sich in bakteriellen Zellw{\"a}nden und nimmt eine Schl{\"u}sselfunktion in der Wirkungsweise des Antibiotikums Vancomycin ein. Zur Entwicklung dieses Rezeptors wurde ein Guanidiniocarbonylpyrrol als Bindungsmotiv f{\"u}r Carboxylate mit einer Cyclotribenzylen-Einheit verkn{\"u}pft. Letztere ist entsprechend der theoretischen Berechnungen in der Lage, die Methylreste des Alanins gr{\"o}ßenselektiv durch hydrophobe Wechselwirkungen zu koordinieren. Dieser Rezeptor wurde in umfangreichen Bindungsstudien bez{\"u}glich seiner Affinit{\"a}t in Wasser und seiner Substratselektivit{\"a}t untersucht. Zur Erh{\"o}hung der L{\"o}slichkeit und zur Bestimmung der Komplexstruktur mit NMR-Techniken in Wasser wurde ein weiteres Derivat des Rezeptors synthetisiert, welches in peripherer Position mit Triethylenglykolseitenketten substituiert ist. Auf diese Weise gelang es, einen hoch affinen (log K = 4,7) und hoch selektiven k{\"u}nstlichen Rezeptor f{\"u}r den D-Ala-D-Ala-Terminus darzustellen und umfassend zu charakterisieren. So konnte gezeigt werden, dass ein de novo Design derartiger Rezeptoren prinzipiell m{\"o}glich ist. In einem weiteren Teilprojekt wurde ein k{\"u}nstlicher Rezeptor f{\"u}r die interne RGD-Peptidsequenz entwickelt. Diese nimmt eine zentrale Funktion in Zell-Zell- und Zell-Matrix-Erkennungsprozessen ein. Dieses Teilprojekt wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Arbeitskreis Schrader (Universit{\"a}t Marburg) durchgef{\"u}hrt. Dazu wurde ein Bindungsmotiv f{\"u}r Alkylguanidine (in der Seitenkette von Arg, R) {\"u}ber einen geeigneten Spacer mit einem Bindungsmotiv f{\"u}r Carboxylate (in der Seitenkette von Asp, D) verkn{\"u}pft. Nach der Synthese und Charakterisierung einer Reihe von vier Rezeptoren konnte die grunds{\"a}tzliche Anwendbarkeit dieses Ansatzes best{\"a}tigt werden. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass der verwendete Spacer f{\"u}r die Effektivit{\"a}t der Koordinierung von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Auf der Grundlage dieser Ergebnisse wurde in einem dritten Teilprojekt ein kombinatorisches Festphasenprotokoll zur Optimierung derartiger Spacer entwickelt. Dabei wurde das Carboxylat-Bindungsmotiv (ein Guanidiniocarbonylpyrrol) auf einem polymeren Tr{\"a}ger immobilisiert. Zu diesem Zweck wurden umfangreiche Studien zur Synthese von Pyrrol-Tricarboxylaten und zur Verwendung verschiedener Schutzgruppen unternommen. Die Eigenschaften von drei Schutzgruppen unterschiedlicher Sensitivit{\"a}t (basisch, stark sauer und photolytisch spaltbar) auf dem Acylguanidin wurden in L{\"o}sung und an der festen Phase untersucht. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein umfangreiches HPLC-Protokoll zur Charakterisierung der Reaktion entwickelt. So gelang die Entwicklung und Etablierung eines universell einsetzbaren Protokolls zur Optimierung derartiger Rezeptoren, womit zahlreiche Anwendungsm{\"o}glichkeiten in der kombinatorischen Chemie aber auch in weiteren Teilbereichen wie der Katalyse oder der Chromatographie erm{\"o}glicht werden.},

Dictyota species are well-known brown seaweeds belonging to the Dictyotaceae (Phaeophyta). The phytochemical composition within the genus Dictyota has recently received considerable interest, and a vast array of components, including diterpenes, sesquiterepenes, sterols, amino acids, as well as saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been characterized. The contribution of these valued metabolites to the biological potential, which includes anti-proliferative, anti-microbial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hyperpigmentation activities, of the genus Dictyota has also been explored. Therefore, this is the most comprehensive review, focusing on the published literature relevant to the chemically and pharmacologically diverse biopharmaceuticals isolated from different species of the genus Dictyota during the period from 1976 to now.},

UV-vis, CD, and steady-state emission spectroscopy as well as atomic force microscopy showed that rod-like structures are formed by excitonic interactions of zinc chlorin units, while the appended naphthalene diimide dyes do not aggregate at the periphery of the cylinders. In all cases, photoexcitation of the enveloping naphthalene diimides at 540 and 620 nm, respectively, was followed by highly efficient energy-transfer processes to the inner zinc chlorin backbone, as revealed by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy on the picosecond time-scale. As a consequence, the LH efficiencies of zinc chlorin rod aggregates were increased by up to 63\%. The effective utilization of solar energy recommends these biomimetic systems for an application in electronic materials on the nanoscale.},

We have demonstrated and quantified the prevalence of chiral self-recognition over self-discrimination in pi-stacking dimerization of PBIs. It has been shown that this self-recognition event is compromised by the increasing flexibility of the structures related to the size of the OEG bridging units. Moreover, the inherent chirality of these PBIs has been proven to strongly influence their condensed state properties, for which large differences between the pure enantiomers and the racemates were revealed, as well as between the different bridged macrocyclic PBIs.},

Alkaloids represent a prominent class of ubiquitous nitrogen containing natural compounds with a great structural variety and diverse biological activity. As of yet, no chromophore host acting as a molecular probe for a range of alkaloids such as harmine or harmaline is known. In addition, the self-association behavior of cyclophane host [2PBI]-1m and its reference monomer in water was studied in order to gain insights into the thermodynamic driving forces affecting the self-assembly process of these two PBI systems in aqueous environment. Moreover, the chirality transfer upon guest binding previously observed for a PBI cyclophane was investigated further. The assignment of the underlying mechanism of guest recognition to either the induced fit or conformational selection model was of particular interest.},

The catalytic activity is distinct from previously described RNA-ligating deoxyribozymes. Kinetic analyses revealed the optimal incubation conditions for high ligation yields and demonstrated a broad RNA substrate scope.

Here we report the crystal structure of MTR1 at a resolution of 2.8 {\AA}, which reveals a guanine binding site reminiscent of natural guanine riboswitches. The structure represents the postcatalytic state of a split ribozyme in complex with the m1A-containing RNA product and the demethylated cofactor guanine. The structural data suggest the mechanistic involvement of a protonated cytidine in the methyl transfer reaction. A synergistic effect of two 2'-O-methylated ribose residues in the active site results in accelerated methyl group transfer. Supported by these results, it seems plausible that modified nucleotides may have enhanced early RNA catalysis and that metabolite-binding riboswitches may resemble inactivated ribozymes that have lost their catalytic activity during evolution.},

  abstract  = {Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden Elektronentransferprozesse in Systemen, die auf Triphenylaminredoxzentren basieren, mit Hilfe spektroskopischer und elektrochemischer sowie spektroelektrochemischer Methoden studiert. Im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Bistriarylaminsysteme analog zu N,N,N',N'-Tetra(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-phenylendiamin (1) untersucht, deren Radikalkationen eine f{\"u}r gemischtvalente Systeme typische breite und insbesondere bei 1 stark asymmetrische IVCT-Absorptionsbande zeigen. Die Analyse dieser Banden nach Hush sowie einem modifizierten Modell, das der Vibronic coupling-Theorie angelehnt ist, deutet auf die Abnahme der elektronischen Kopplung mit zunehmender Vergr{\"o}ßerung des zentralen Phenylenspacers durch Naphthalin- (2) bzw. Anthracenspacer (3) und damit gr{\"o}ßerer sterischer Hinderung hin. Gleichzeitig nimmt aber mit der Vergr{\"o}ßerung des \&\#61552;-Systems des Spacers auch die Reorganisationsenergie \&\#61548; ab. Insgesamt verhalten sich alle drei Verbindungen sehr {\"a}hnlich, was insbesondere das Verh{\"a}ltnis von Absorptionsmaximum der IVCT-Bande zum zweifachen Wert der elektronischen Kopplung betrifft. Legt man vor allem das modifizierte Vibronic coupling-Modell zugrunde, so liegt dieses Verh{\"a}ltnis bei 1+, 2+ und 3+ sehr nahe bei 1, so daß alle drei Systeme sehr nahe am {\"U}bergang von Robin-Day-Klasse II zu Klasse III liegen. Weiterhin wurden {\"u}ber einen 1,4-Diethinylphenyl-Spacer verbr{\"u}ckte Bistriarylaminsysteme untersucht, bei denen durch Variation der Spacereinheit (1,4-Diethinylphenyl (5), 1,4-Diethinylnaphthalin (6), 1,4-Diethinyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenyl (10)) die Energie eines Br{\"u}ckenzustandes im Vergleich zu Zust{\"a}nden, bei denen das Radikal an einem Triarylaminzentrum lokalisiert ist, schrittweise abgesenkt wird. Die auftretenden Elektronentransferprozesse k{\"o}nnen mit Hilfe eines Dreiniveaumodells mit zwei voneinander unabh{\"a}ngigen Elektronentransferkoordinaten beschrieben werden. Es zeigt sich, daß bei elektronenarmen Spacern, wie z.B. bei 5+, der Elektronentransfer nach einem Superexchange-Mechanismus erfolgt. Bei der Verwendung einer elektronenreichen Dimethoxy-substituierten Br{\"u}cke wie in 10+ kann der Elektronentransfer neben dem Superexchange- auch nach einem Hopping-Mechanismus erfolgen. Bei Verbindungen, die einen 9,10-Diethinylanthracenspacer (8+ und 9+) enthalten, liegt der Br{\"u}ckenzustand energetisch sogar deutlich tiefer als der Zustand mit einem oxidierten Triphenylaminredoxzentrum. Im zweiten Abschnitt wurden gerichtete Elektronentransferprozesse an Redoxkaskaden und Dendrimeren, die auf Triarylaminredoxzentren basieren, studiert. Die M{\"o}glichkeit, die Redoxpotentiale von Triphenylaminzentren durch Substituenten zu beeinflussen, erlaubt die Synthese von Kaskaden mit einem vorgegebenen Redoxgradienten. Innerhalb einer Kaskade, die ein Acridin-Fluorophor, ein 4-Chlor-substituiertes sowie ein 4-Methoxy-substituiertes Triphenylaminredoxzentrum enth{\"a}lt (18), kann nach Anregung des Acridin-Chromophors in polaren L{\"o}sungsmitteln ein ladungsgetrennter Zustand erreicht werden, worauf sowohl statische und zeitaufgel{\"o}ste Fluoreszenzmessungen als auch transientenspektroskopische Untersuchungen hinweisen. Die Lebensdauer kann durch Verl{\"a}ngerung der Redoxkaskade durch ein weiteres Aminzentrum deutlich vergr{\"o}ßert werden. In unpolaren L{\"o}sungsmitteln erfolgt dagegen keine Ladungstrennung {\"u}ber die gesamte Kaskade. Ebenso tritt bei 20 (Kaskade aus Acridin, 4 Methoxy-substituiertem Triphenylamin und 4-Chlor-substituiertem Aminzentrum), wo der Redoxgradient entgegen zu 18 gerichtet ist, kein Ladungstransfer auf. Im dritten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden Verbindungen untersucht, die neben 1,4 Phenylendiamineinheiten in para-Position unsubstituierte Triphenylamine enthalten und sich elektrochemisch polymerisieren lassen. Die Eigenschaften der dotierten redoxaktiven Polymere werden durch die enthaltenen p-Phenylendiamin- und Benzidin-Substrukturen dominiert, wof{\"u}r haupts{\"a}chlich die geringe Wechselwirkung der einzelne Redoxzentren untereinander verantwortlich ist. Impedanzspektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigen eine Zunahme der Leitf{\"a}higkeit der dotierten Polymerfilme, wobei der Ladungstransfer vermutlich durch Hopping zwischen den p-Phenylendiamin- und Benzidinuntereinheiten erfolgt.},

The social self-sorting behavior of these push-pull chromophores in their mixed thin films is evaluated and the impact on morphology as well as opto-electronical properties is determined. The implementation of this well-tuned two-component material with tailored optical features allows to optimize planar heterojunction organic photodiodes with fullerene ​(C\(_{60}\)) with either dual or single wavelength selectivity in the blue and NIR spectral range with ultranarrow bandwidths of only 11 nm (200 cm\(^{-1}\)) and an external quantum efficiency of up to 18\% at 754 nm under 0 V bias.

  abstract  = {Tropische Infektionskrankheiten sind noch immer die Haupttodesurache in vielen L{\"a}ndern der Dritten Welt. Unter ihnen ist Malaria neben der Immunschw{\"a}chekrankheit AIDS und Tuberkulose am weitesten verbreitet. Laut WHO erkrankten allein im Jahr 2016 rund 216 Millionen Menschen an Malaria und weltweit verstarben 445.000 Menschen an den Folgen dieser Infektion. Solange die Wirksamkeit des Impfstoffs RTS,S/AS01 gegen Malaria noch Schwachstellen aufweist und andere Impfstoff-Kanditaten sich noch in pr{\"a}klinischen Testphasen befinden, ist vor allem die Entwicklung neuer Wirkstoffe, auch im Hinblick auf die rasante Ausbreitung von Resistenzen gegen herk{\"o}mmliche Medikamente, weiterhin eine dringende Aufgabe. Eine vielversprechende Wirkstoffklasse mit interessanten strukturellen Eigenschaften und einer ungew{\"o}hnlichen Biosynthese aus Acetat-Einheiten sind die Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide aus den beiden pal{\"a}otropischen Pflanzenfamilien der Dioncophyllaceae und Ancistrocladaceae. Die Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide sind hervozuheben aufgrund ihrer exzellenten Aktivit{\"a}t gegen Plasmodium falciparum, den Erreger der Malaria tropica, sowie wegen ihrer Wirksamkeit gegen Erreger weiterer Krankheiten wie beispielsweise AIDS, Leishmaniose und Afrikanische Trypanosomiasis. Auch im Kampf gegen maligne Erkrankungen wie Leuk{\"a}mie und pankreatischen Krebs werden sie aufgrund ihrer cytotoxischen Eigenschaften als vielversprechende Leitstrukturen betrachtet. Die strukturell beeindruckendsten Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloide sind die dimeren Mbandakamine, die von unserer Arbeitsgruppe vor einiger Zeit aus einer kongolesischen Ancistrocladus-Liane isoliert wurden. Sie besitzen sieben stereogene Elemente und sind die ersten nat{\"u}rlich vorkommenden Dimere mit einer h{\"o}chst unsymmetrischen 6',1''-gekuppelten zentralen Biarylachse. Diese impliziert eine außergew{\"o}hnlich hohe sterische Hinderung an der zentralen Achse, wie sie noch in keinem anderen dimeren Naphthylisochinolin-Alkaloid gefunden wurde. Verbunden mit ihren bemerkenswerten und vielseitigen pharmakologischen Wirkeigenschaften sind sie ausgesprochen interessante Molek{\"u}le f{\"u}r eine synthetische Erschließung. Ziel dieser Arbeit war die erstmalige Totalsynthese von Mbandakamin A und B sowie die Synthese ihrer monomeren H{\"a}lften 5-epi-Korupensamin E und 8-O-Methylkorupensamin A. Zudem sollten weitere Naphthylisochinolin-Dimere, die bei der Synthese der Mbandakamine anfallen, isoliert und charakterisiert werden. Alle neuen mono- und dimeren Naphthylisochinoline sollten abschließend am Schweizerischen Tropen- und Public-Health-Institut auf ihre biologische Aktivit{\"a}t getestet werden. Zus{\"a}tzlich gelang im Rahmen eines Kooperationsprojekts erstmals die stereochemische Charakterisierung des strukturell ganz neuartigen, inh{\"a}rent chiralen Wolframbiscorrols durch online HPLC-ECD-Analyse in Kombination mit quantenchemischen Rechnungen.},

The class of Ru(bda) (bda = 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylate) catalysts has proven to be efficient for this reaction. In this thesis, ligand exchange processes in Ru(bda) complexes have been analyzed and the formation of multinuclear macrocyclic WOCs was studied. Based on the knowledge acquired by these studies, new multinuclear cyclic Ru(bda) complexes have been synthesized and their catalytic efficiencies in homogeneous water oxidation have been investigated. Going one step further for setting up functional devices, molecular WOCs have been immobilized on conducting or semiconducting supporting materials. Direct anchoring on carbon nanotubes generated a promising materials for further applications.},

Here it is reported for the first time that a trinuclear supramolecular Ru(bda) (bda: 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate) catalyst, anchored on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and subsequently immobilized on glassy carbon electrodes, shows outstanding performance in heterogeneous water oxidation. Activation of the catalyst on anodes by repetitive cyclic voltammetry (CV) scans results in a catalytic current density of 186 mA cm\(^{-2}\) at a potential of 1.45 V versus NHE. The activated catalyst performs water oxidation at an onset overpotential of 330 mV. The remarkably high stability of the hybrid anode is demonstrated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electrochemically, revealing the absence of any degradation after 1.8 million turnovers. Foot of the wave analysis of CV data of activated electrodes with different concentrations of catalyst indicates a monomolecular water nucleophilic attack mechanism with an apparent rate constant of TOFmax (turnover frequency) of 3200 s\(^{-1}\).},

We tested the impact of pharmaceutical polymers on this solubilization interplay using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and by assessing the flux across model membranes. Eudragit E, Soluplus, and a therapeutically used model polymer, Colesevelam, impacted the bile-colloidal geometry and molecular interaction. These polymer-induced changes reduced the flux of poorly water-soluble and bile interacting drugs (Perphenazine, Imatinib) but did not impact the flux of bile non-interacting Metoprolol. Non-bile interacting polymers (Kollidon VA 64, HPMC-AS) neither impacted the flux of colloid-interacting nor colloid-non-interacting drugs. These insights into the drug substance/polymer/bile colloid interplay potentially point towards a practical optimization parameter steering formulations to efficient bile-solubilization by rational polymer selection.},

  abstract  = {Die nat{\"u}rlichen Vorbilder effektiver Anionenrezeptoren sind Enzyme, welche oftmals Arginin als entscheidende Aminos{\"a}ure in der Bindungstasche tragen. Die positiv geladenene Guanidiniumgruppe, wie sie in der Seitenkette von Arginin vorkommt, ist daher das zentrale Strukturmerkmal f{\"u}r viele k{\"u}nstliche Anionenrezeptoren. Im Jahre 1999 gelang es Schmuck und Mitarbeitern eine neue Klasse von Guanidinium-basierten Oxoanionenrezeptoren zu entwickeln, die Carboxylate sogar in w{\"a}ssrigen Medien binden k{\"o}nnen. Die Bindungsmodi der 2-(Guanidiniocarbonyl)-1H-pyrrole basieren auf einer Kombination von einzeln betrachtet schwachen nicht-kovalenten Wechselwirkungen wie Ionenpaarbildung und multiplen Wasserstoffbr{\"u}ckenbindungen zwischen k{\"u}nstlichem Rezeptor und Substrat. Durch Substitution einer Carboxylatgruppe in Position 5 des Pyrrolringes erh{\"a}lt man ein zwitterionisches Derivat welches sich in Wasser mit einer Assoziationskonstante von sch{\"a}tzungsweise 170 M-1 zu einzelnen Dimeren zusammenlagert (Dimer 1). Um das Strukturmotiv hinsichtlich einer noch effektiveren Anionenbindung weiter verbessern zu k{\"o}nnen, ist es daher von großem Interesse, die verschiedenartigen intermolekularen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den beiden monomeren Einheiten von Dimer 1 zu quantifizieren. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden verschiedene theoretische ab initio Studien durchgef{\"u}hrt, um die Einfl{\"u}sse von intrinsischen Eigenschaften sowie von Solvenseffekten auf die Stabilit{\"a}t sich selbst zusammenlagernden Dimeren aufzukl{\"a}ren. In Kapitel 4.1 wurden die molekularen Wechselwirkungen im Dimer 1 durch Vergleich mit verschiedenen „Knock-out" Analoga untersucht. In diesen Analoga wurden einzelne Wasserstoffbr{\"u}ckenbindungen durch Substitution von Wasserstoffdonoren mit Methylengruppen oder Etherbr{\"u}cken ausgeschaltet. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Anwendung eines vereinfachten Kontinuum-Solvensmodells nicht ausreicht, die absoluten Energien der „Knock-out" Analoga in stark polaren L{\"o}sungsmitteln vorherzusagen, jedoch k{\"o}nnen die berechneten Trends Auskunft {\"u}ber die relativen Stabilit{\"a}ten geben. In Kapitel 4.2 wurde die strukturelle {\"A}hnlichkeit von Arginin mit Struktur 1 ausgenutzt, um die Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der St{\"a}rke der Dimerisierung von der Flexibilit{\"a}t der molekularen Struktur eingehender zu untersuchen. In Kapitel 4.2.1 wurden neue globale Minimumsstrukturen des kanonischen und zwitterionischen Arginins in der Gasphase bestimmt. Dies geschah mit Hilfe von umfangreichen kraftfeldbasierten Konformationssuchen in Verbindung mit ab initio Strukturoptimierungen der energetisch niedrigsten Konformere. Die meisten der neu identifizierten Minimumskonformere sowohl des zwitterionischen als auch des kanonischen Tautomers zeigten geometrische Anordnungen mit bis dahin unbekannten gestapelten Orientierungen der endst{\"a}ndigen Gruppen. Es wurde letztendlich eine neuartige globale Minimumsstruktur (N1) gefunden, welche eine um mehr als 8 kJ mol-1 niedrigere Energie besitzt als die bislang ver{\"o}ffentlichten Konformere. Die gleiche Strategie f{\"u}r das Auffinden von energetischen Minimumskonformeren, wie sie bereits f{\"u}r das Arginin Monomer benutzt wurde, wurde auch im Falle der Dimere von Arginin verwendet. Im Gegensatz zu vorhergehenden theoretischen Untersuchungen ist die neue globale Minimumsstruktur ungef{\"a}hr 60 kJ mol-1 stabiler und weist ebenfalls eine gestapelte Orientierung der Guanidinium- und Carboxylatgruppen auf. Der Einfluss der Rigidit{\"a}t auf die Dimerstabilit{\"a}t wurde durch Berechnungen eines k{\"u}nstlich versteiften Arginin Dimersystems bewiesen. Die hohe Bindungsaffinit{\"a}t des Dimers 1 ergibt sich daher zu etwa 50\% aus der Rigidit{\"a}t der Monomere, welche jegliche intramolekulare Stabilisierung verhindert. Um Vorschl{\"a}ge f{\"u}r ein verbessertes Carboxylatbindungsmotiv machen zu k{\"o}nnen, wurden in Kapitel 4.3 neuartige Strukturmotive mit ver{\"a}nderten Ringsystemen auf DFT Niveau untersucht. Die direkte Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Dimerisierungsenergie von einem zunehmenden Dipolmoment wurde durch verschiedene anellierte Ringstrukturen bewiesen. Der Einfluss der Delokalisierung in den Monomeren auf die Dimerisierungsenergie wurde durch Ver{\"a}nderung der Elektronenstruktur von elektronisch entkoppelten Biphenylenen untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Carbonylfunktion haupts{\"a}chlich f{\"u}r eine gute Pr{\"a}organisation verantwortlich ist, wohingegen der Effekt auf die Azidit{\"a}t eine geringere Bedeutung besitzt. Im letzten Kapitel wurden Kooperativit{\"a}tseffekte in supramolekularen Systemen untersucht. Als Modellsysteme dienten hierbei Adenosin-Carbons{\"a}ure-Komplexe, deren berechnete NMR Verschiebungen mit experimentellen Niedrigtemperatur-NMR-Studien verglichen wurden. Wir konnten zeigen, dass nur durch die Verwendung von schwingungsgemittelten NMR Verschiebungen die experimentelle Protonenverschiebung reproduziert werden kann, welche unter Tieftemperaturbedingungen im Austauschregime von Wasserstoffbr{\"u}ckenbindungen erhalten wurde.},

Weiterhin wurden Bromcyclisierungen von Bishomoallylalkoholen auf enzymatischem (VBPO), oxidativem und radikalischem Weg f{\"u}r Referenzprodukte einer neuen Variante der Bromcyclisierung durch Vanadium-katalysierte Bromidoxidation durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die Selektivit{\"a}tsmuster aus den Synthesen ß-hydroxylierter und ß-bromierter Tetrahydrofurane wurden anschließend innerhalb einfacher Naturstoffsynthesen genutzt.

In Test-Cyclisierungen unterschiedlicher Bishomoallylalkohole eignete sich VO(salin)(OEt) mit hohen Ums{\"a}tzen und guten Regio- wie Stereoselektivit{\"a}ten am besten. Die relative Geschwindigkeitskonstante (krel = 120±20) der Vanadium-katalysierten Oxidation des Testsystems konnte {\"u}ber Konkurrenzkinetik (Alkenol versus Alken) ermittelt werden und weist deutlich auf eine Bindung des Alkenols an Vanadium w{\"a}hrend der Oxidation hin.

Die ionischen Bromcyclisierungen 5,5-dimethylierter Bishomoallyl-alkohole mittels NBS verliefen komplement{\"a}r zu den Radikal-Cyclisierungen regioselektiv und in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Phenylsubstituenten an C-1 - C-3 stereoselektiv zu den 2,5-trans-, 3,5-cis- und 4,5-trans-konfigurierten Tetrahydropyranen. Aus der Bromcyclisierung prochiraler Pentenole in Gegenwart eines Acetonpulvers aus Ascophyllum nodosum (A.n.A.P.) konnte das b-bromierte Tetrahydrofuran racemisch in 87proz. Ausbeute erhalten werden. Ebensowenig f{\"u}hrte der Einsatz chiraler Liganden in der Vanadium-katalysierten Oxygenierung prochiraler Penten-1-ole bei guten Ausbeuten (>80\%) zu Enantiomeren-angereicherten Tatrahydrofuranen. Innerhalb einfacher Naturstoffsynthesen wurden cis-Pityol, Linalooloxid sowie (-)-epi-Bisabololoxid selektiv unter Standardbedingungen der Vanadium-Schiffbase-katalysierten Oxidationen mit VO(salin)(OEt) und TBHP dargestellt. Die Stereoselektivit{\"a}ten steigen proportional zu dem Gr{\"o}ßenunterschied der Substituenten an Position 1 der Bishomoallylalkohole. Abschließend wurde durch Vanadium-katalysierte Bromidoxiadtion mit TBHP eine neue dreistufige Totalsynthese der vier "nat{\"u}rlichen" Muscarin-Isomere ausgearbeitet. Die Gesamtausbeuten dieser Synthesen liegen zwischen 3.0 und 19.9\%.},

The two main-goals of this thesis were achieved. Well soluble acene derivatives for spin-coated TFTs were obtained, showing charge carrier mobilities in the range of polymer p-type materials. Novel core-fluorinated perylene bisimide dyes were synthesized particularly and the use of electron deficient substituents lead to PBIs with outstanding air-stable mobilities in thin film transistors prepared by vacuum deposition techniques. The relationship between performance, air stability and solid state packing was elucidated in detail by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.},

  abstract  = {AbstractWater oxidation catalysis is a key step for sustainable fuel production by water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen. The synthesis of a novel coordination oligomer based on four Ru(bda) (bda = 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxylate) centers, three 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) linkers, and two 4-picoline (4-pic) end caps is reported. The monodispersity of this tetranuclear compound is characterized by NMR techniques. Heterogeneous electrochemical water oxidation after immobilization on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) shows catalytic performance unprecedented for this compound class, with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 133 s\(^{-1}\) and a turnover number (TON) of 4.89 × 10\(^6\), at a current density of 43.8 mA cm\(^{-2}\) and a potential of 1.45 V versus normal hydrogen electrode (NHE).},
