Furthermore, the influence of PBI core chirality on the properties of these dyes in the condensed state has been also studied. 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.}, subject = {Farbstoff}, language = {en} } @article{KauppSchleyer1992, author = {Kaupp, Martin and Schleyer, Paul von Rague}, title = {Do Low-Coordinated Group 1-3 cations M\(^n\) \(^+\)L\(_m\) (Mn\(^+\) = K\(^+\), Rb\(^+\), Cs\(^+\), Ca\(^{2+}\), Sr\(^{2+}\), Ba\(^{2+}\), Sc\(^{3+}\), Y\(^{3+}\), La\(^{3+}\); L = NH\(_3\), H\(_2\)0, HF; m = 1-3) with a Formal Noble-Gas Electron Configuration Favor Regular or "Abnormal" Shapes?}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-60111}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {Anorganische Chemie}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Sengupta2011, author = {Sengupta, Sanchita}, title = {Bio-inspired Zinc Chlorin Dye Assemblies for Supramolecular Electronics}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-66935}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Chlorophylls are the most important pigments owing to their involvement in photosynthesis. They perform multiple functions that arise due to their optical and redox as well as packing properties. Semisynthetic zinc chlorins investigated in this thesis are the counterparts for the natural protein-free bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c assemblies in light-harvesting (LH) systems in bacterial chlorosomes. The major advantage of the zinc chlorin model compounds over the native BChls lies in their facile semisynthetic accessibility from chlorophyll a (Chl a), their higher chemical stability and the possibility to influence their packing by suitable chemical modifications of peripheral side chains. Whilst the favorable excitonic properties and the suitability of ZnChl and natural BChl c dye aggregates for long distance exciton transport are well documented, charge transport properties of aggregates of semisynthetic ZnChls are hitherto unexplored. The present study involves structural elucidations of aggregates of a variety of semisynthetic zinc chlorin derivatives in solution, in solid state and on surfaces by combination of spectroscopic, crystallographic and microscopic techniques, followed by investigation of charge transport properties and conductivities of these aggregates. Chart 1 shows the different ZnChls synthesized in this work that are functionalized with hydroxy or methoxy substituents at 31 position and contain different substituents at the 172-position benzyl ester functional group. The self-assembly of these dyes is strongly dependent upon their chemical structures. While ZnChls 1a, 2a, 3, which are functionalized with 31-hydroxy group bearing dodecyl and oligoethylene glycol side chains form well-soluble rod aggregates, the corresponding 31-methoxy functionalized counterparts 1b, 2b form stacks in solution and on surfaces. These supramolecular polymers have been studied in detail in Chapter 3 by UV/Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). These studies provided useful insights into the aggregation process of these two types of aggregates. Whereas 31-hydroxy functionalized ZnChl 1a self-assemble into rod aggregates via an isodesmic mechanism, corresponding stack aggregates of ZnChl 1b are formed by a cooperative nucleation-elongation pathway. Detailed electron microscopic studies such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) provided unequivocal evidence for hollow tubular nanostructures of water-soluble 31-hydroxy zinc chlorin 3 aggregates for the first time. The measured tube diameter of ~ 5-6 nm of these aggregates is in excellent agreement with electron microscopy data of BChl c rod aggregates in chlorosomes (Chloroflexus aurantiacus, diameter ~ 5-6 nm) and thus complied with the tubular model postulated by Holzwarth and Schaffner... In concord with their highly organized structures, micrometer-scale one dimensionality, robust nature and efficient charge transport capabilities, these self-assembled ZnChl nanotubular, stack and liquid crystalline assemblies are highly promising for supramolecular electronic applications. Research efforts in utilizing these assemblies for (opto)electronic device fabrication, for instance, in organic field effect transistors, should thus be rewarding in the future...}, subject = {Supramolekulare Chemie}, language = {en} } @article{WissingKauppBoersmaetal.1994, author = {Wissing, Elmo and Kaupp, Martin and Boersma, Jaap and Spek, Anthony L. and Koten, Gerard van}, title = {Alkylation Reactions of Dialkylzinc Compounds with 1,4- Diaza- 1,3-butadienes: Cationic and radical Anionic Organozinc Intermediates.

Such structures may reveal favorable photophysical and semiconducting properties due to the weak non-covalent pi-pi interactions between the monomer units. The specific mutual orientation of the dyes is known to evoke individual functional properties for the condensed matter, however, the related electronic processes are still not well-understood and further enhancements of functional properties are seldom triggered by rational design. The pi-pi self-assembly structures of perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes are promising, versatile materials for organic electronic devices and have been elected for this thesis as an archetype aggregate system to investigate the dye-dye interactions in more detail. In cooperation with experts in the field of spectroscopy and theory the development of reliable routines towards a better understanding of the origins of the functional properties may be feasible, and, on a longer time-line, such knowledge may enable optimization of functional organic materials. Having designed such structures entailed the challenge of developing feasible synthesis strategies, and to actually generate the targeted molecules by synthesis. Several synthesis approaches were conducted until finally a perylene bisimide foldamer was obtained based on a Sonogashira co-polymerization reaction. After purification and enrichment of the larger-sized species by means of semi-preparative gel permeation chromatography (GPC) the average size of an octamer (8500 Da) species was determined by analytical GPC. The low polydispersity index (PD) of 1.1 is indicative of a sharp size distribution of the oligomers. This average size was confirmed by performing diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY). Furthermore, MALDI-TOF mass analysis substantiated the structural integrity of the co-polymerization product. Solvent-dependent UV/vis spectroscopic investigations demonstrated that intramolecular PBI  aggregates are reversibly formed, indicating that this oligomer is able to fold and unfold in the intended manner upon changing external conditions. In the unfolded states, the PBI moieties are closely arranged due to the short OPE bridges (< 2.4 nm), which is expressed by an exciton coupling interaction of the dyes and therefore the characteristic monomer absorption pattern of the PBI chromophore cannot be obtained in the unfolded states. More interestingly, the folded state revealed a pronounced aggregate spectrum of the PBIs, however, striking differences in the shape of the absorption spectrum compared to our previously investigated PBI self-assembly were obtained.}, subject = {Perylenbisdicarboximide HCO\(^+\)+ e\(^-\).
