In our immediate surroundings, they are mainly generated in incomplete combustion processes and are further considered as carriers of the Unidentified Infrared Bands which are detected in a wide variety of astrophysical envelopes in the interstellar medium. Currently, astrochemical as well as combustion related models favour small resonance stabilized radicals (RSR) as major contributors to PAHs in sequential reactions. Therefore, we generated two RSR under well-defined conditions to investigate their contribution to PAH formation in a pyrolysis microreactor. The various reaction products were identified by IR/UV ion dip spectroscopy which combines the mass-selectivity of UV light with the structural sensitivity of IR radiation. Finally, we investigated the intermolecular interactions in azaphenanthrene dimers in combination with high-level theoretical calculations and found a preferential formation of pi-stacked van der Waals cluster in a molecular jet expansion.}, subject = {Infrarotspektroskopie}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Brueckner2021, author = {Br{\"u}ckner, Tobias Walter}, title = {Lewisbasenstabilisierte Bor-Bor-Mehrfachbindungssysteme - Darstellung und Reaktivit{\"a}tsstudien}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-21347}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-213479}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Diese Dissertation befasst sich mit der Darstellung und Reaktivit{\"a}t von Lewisbasenstabilisierten Bor-Bor-Mehrfachbindungssystemen.

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

W{\"a}hrend solche Reaktionen in der Ligandenperipherie von Metallkomplexen h{\"a}ufiger angewendet werden ist, sind solche Reaktionen direkt in der inneren Koordinationssph{\"a}re von Metallzentren bisher nur wenig erforscht. Die neue Beispiele daf{\"u}r sind die Synthese und Untersuchungen der Kinetik und Reaktivit{\"a}t einer Reihe von Rhodium(III)azid-Halbsandwichkomplexen der allgemeinen Formel [Rh(Cp*)(N3)(bpyR,R)]+ oder von isoelektronische und isostrukturelle Molybd{\"a}n(II)azid- und Wolfram(II)azid-Komplexe mit verschiedenen elektronenarme Alkine. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit waren daher iClick-Reaktionen (engl. inorganic click, „iClick") von Palladium(II)azid- und Platin(II)azid-Komplexen der allgemeinen Formel [M(N3)(L)]+ und [M(N3)(L)] mit elektronenarmen Alkinen Dimethylacetylendicarboxylat (DMAD) und 4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-ins{\"a}ureethylester. Als Liganden kamen die N,N,N-Chelatoren 1,3-Bis(arylimino)isoindolin (HL1-4) die sich nur im Bezug auf die Position der Methylgruppen in den Pyridinringen unterscheiden, 6',6"-Dimethyl-2',2:6,2"-terpyridin (L5) und 2,6-Bis(3-pyridazinyl)pyridin (L6) zum Einsatz. Die Reaktionen von L1-L4 mit [MCl2(cod)] (M = Pd, Pt) liefert neutrale Komplexe [MCl(L1-3)] und f{\"u}r L5 einfach geladene [MCl(L5)]+. Das koordinierte Chlorid wurde dann mit Natriumazid substituiert. Im abschließenden Teil der Arbeit wurde die zwei Alkinen in iClick-Reaktion verwendet um Palladium(II)- und Platin-Triazolat-Komplexe zu synthetisieren. F{\"u}r die resultierenden Triazolat-Komplexe wurde eine N2-koordinierten des Triazolat-Liganden durch R{\"o}ntgenstrukturanalyse f{\"u}r baii-Triazolat-Komplexe best{\"a}tigt. Besonderes Merkmal dieser Verbindungen ist, dass der Triazolat-Ligand aus Platzmangel senkrecht zum 1,3-Bis(arylimino)isoindolin-Ligand steht. In verwandten Terpyridin-Komplexen sind der mono- und tridentate Ligand dagegen coplanar. Mit 1,3-Bis(6-methyl-2-pyridylimino)isoindolin als Ligand konnten man keine Metall-Komplexe hergestellt werden, da die zus{\"a}tzlichen Methylgruppem in 6',6"-Positionen aus sterische Gr{\"u}nden eine Reaktion mit [MCl2(cod)] verhindern. Auch der in drei Stufen synthetisierte Ligand 6',6"-Dimethyl-2',2:6,2"-terpyridin der im Vergleich zu Terpyridin zwei zus{\"a}tzliche Methylgruppen in 6',6"-Position besitzen reagiert nur mit [PdCl2(cod)] nicht aber mit [PtCl2(cod)], da der Ionenradius von Pt(II) gr{\"o}ßer als der von Pd(II) ist. Die hergestellte Chlorid-, Azid- und Triazolat-Komplexe mit L5 als N,N,N-Chelator waren nur in DMSO L{\"o}slich. Darin zersetzt es sich jedoch teilweise wieder in den freien Liganden. Die zus{\"a}tzlichen Methylgruppem in 6',6"-Positionen verhindern aus sterische Gr{\"u}nden die Chlorid-, Azid- und Triazolat-Komplexe stabil zu bleiben. Ligand L6 konnte nur in sehr niedrige Ausbeute isoliert werden, da in der letzten Stufe bzw. bei Stille-Kupplung zwischen 2,6-Bis(trimethylstannyl)pyridin und 3-Iodopyridazin die Homokupplungsprodukte von 3-Iodopyridazin entsteht, sodass die nicht getrennt werden konnten. Aufgrund der niedrigen Ausbeute wurden dann mit L6 keine Metall-Komplexe hergestellt. Die Kinetik der iClick-Reaktion ist ein entscheidender Faktor, wenn diese f{\"u}r die Markierung von Bio(makro)molek{\"u}len eingesetzt werden soll, da die Markierungsreaktion schneller als der interessierende biologische Prozess ablaufen muss. Daher wurden mit IR- und UV/Vis-Spektroskopie die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten pseudoerster Ordnung f{\"u}r die iClick-Reaktion der verschiedenen baii-Palladium(II)azid- und baii-Platin(II)azid-Komplexe mit Dimethylacetylendicarboxylat (DMAD) und 4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-ins{\"a}ureethylester bestimmt. Hier sollte insbesondere der Einfluss der zus{\"a}tzlichen Methylgruppen in 4',4"- bzw. 5',5"-Positionen am 1,3-Bis(arylimino)isoindolin-Liganden sowie die Variation des Metallzentrums und Alkins auf die Geschwindigkeit der iClick-Reaktionen untersucht werden. Mit IR-Spektroskopie wurden Geschwindigkeitskonstanten um (2.8-4.9)⋅10-4 s-1 an Alkinen erhalten. Die Einf{\"u}hrung elektronenschiebender Methylgruppen in 4',4"- bzw. 5',5"-Positionen am 1,3-Bis(arylimino)isoindolin-Liganden f{\"u}hrt zu einer Erh{\"o}hung der Geschwindigkeitskonstant einem Faktor von 1.3 bzw. 1.2 gegen{\"u}ber 1,3-Bis(2-pyridylimino)isoindolin. Die iClick-Reaktion mit Platin als Metall ist 1.3-mal schneller als mit Palladium. Elektronenarme Alkine wie 4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-ins{\"a}ureethylester f{\"u}hren im Vergleich zu Dimethylacetylendicarboxylat (DMAD) zu einer 1.8-fachen Erh{\"o}hung der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit. Mit UV/Vis-Spektroskopie wurden niedrigere Geschwindigkeitskonstanten um 8.9·10-6 - 3.3·10-5 s-1 nur f{\"u}r die iClick-Reaktion der 1,3-Bis(arylimino)isoindolinplatin(II)azid-Komplexe mit Dimethylacetylendicarboxylat (DMAD) und 4,4,4-Trifluorobut-2-ins{\"a}ureethylester bestimmt, weil die Spektralen Unterschiede zwischen Azid-Vorstufe und Triazolat-Produkt mit Palladium als Metallzentren zu gering sind. Auch hier konnte die Erh{\"o}hung der Geschwindigkeitskonstanten durch Verwendung elektronen{\"a}rmerer Alkine best{\"a}tigt werden. Hier sollte die iClick-Reaktion in Zukunft f{\"u}r gr{\"o}ßere Auswahlm{\"o}glichkeiten an Chelatoren optimiert und außerdem die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten der Bildung von iClick-Produkten mit anderen Methoden untersucht werden, bevor biologische Tests durchgef{\"u}hrt werden.}, subject = {Alkine}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Duda2021, author = {Duda, Katharina}, title = {Synthesen und Eigenschaften von Dicarba-closo-dodecaboran-Derivaten und ersten gemischten Fluorohydridoborat-Anionen}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-18103}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-181038}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Ein wesentliches Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Durchf{\"u}hrung von regioselektiven Deborierungsreaktionen von 1,7-Dicarba-closo-dodecaboranen sowie die Herstellung von polyfunktionalisierten meta-Carboran-Derivaten.

Because of spin-statistics, 25\% singlet and 75\% triplet excitons are generated in an electronic device. Conventional organic emitters cannot harvest the triplet excitons, due to low spin orbit coupling, and exhibit low external quantum efficiencies. TADF materials have to be designed in such a way, that the energy gap between the lowest singlet and triplet states (ΔES-T) is sufficiently small to allow reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) in organic systems. An established structure property relationship for the generation of TADF materials is the spatial separation of HOMO and LUMO via an orthogonal arrangement of donor and acceptor in donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) compounds. This is achieved by increasing the steric bulk of the π-bridge. However, this is not always the most efficient method and electronic parameters have to be considered. In a combined experimental and theoretical study, a computational protocol to predict the excited states in D-π-A compounds containing the B(FXyl)2 (FXyl = 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) acceptor group for the design of new TADF emitters is presented. To this end, the effect of different donor and π-bridge moieties on the energy gaps between local and charge-transfer singlet and triplet states was examined. To prove the computationally aided design concept, the D-π-B(FXyl)2 compounds Cbz-π (1), Cbz-Meπ (2), Phox-Meπ (3), Phox-MeOπ (4), and MeO₃Ph-FMeπ (5) were synthesized and fully characterized. The photophysical properties of these compounds in various solvents, polymeric film and in a frozen matrix were investigated in detail and show excellent agreement with the computationally obtained data (Figure 5.1). A simple structure-property relationship based on the molecular fragment orbitals of the donor and the π-bridge which minimize the relevant singlet-triplet gaps to achieve efficient TADF emitters is presented.   Chapter 2 Three-coordinate boron is widely used as an acceptor in conjugated materials. In recent years the employment of trifluoromethylated aryls was shown to improve the acceptor properties of such boranes. Astonishingly, the use of ortho-trifluoromethylated aryls in boron containing systems also improves the stability of those systems in regard to their inherent reactivity towards nucleophiles. Borafluorenes are stronger acceptors than their non-annulated triarylborane derivatives. In previous studies, the effect of trifluoromethylated aryls as the exo-aryl moieties in borafluorenes, as well as the effect of fluorination on the backbone, were examined. As the latter suffers from a very low stability, systems using trifluoromethyl groups, both on the exo-aryl as well as the borafluorene backbone were designed in order to maximize both the stability as well as the acceptor strength. Three different perfluoroalkylated borafluorenes were prepared and their electronic and photophysical properties were investigated. The systems have four trifluoromethyl moieties on the borafluorene moiety as well as two trifluoromethyl groups at the ortho positions of their exo-aryl moieties. They differ with regard to the para-substituents on their exo-aryl moieties, being a proton (FXylFBf), a trifluoromethyl group (FMesFBf) or a dimethylamino group (p NMe2-FXylFBf), respectively. Furthermore, an acetonitrile adduct of FMesFBf was obtained and characterized. All derivatives exhibit extraordinarily low reduction potentials, comparable to those of perylenediimides. The most electron deficient derivative FMesFBf was also chemically reduced and its radical anion isolated and characterized. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of all compounds were investigated. All compounds exhibit weakly allowed lowest energy absorptions and very long fluorescent lifetimes of ca. 250 ns up to 1.6 μs; however, the underlying mechanisms differ. The donor substituted derivative p-NMe2-FXylFBf exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence from a charge transfer (CT) state, while the FMesFBf and FXylFBf borafluorenes exhibit only weakly allowed locally excited (LE) transitions due to their symmetry and low transition dipole moments, as suggested by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.   Chapter 3 Conjugated dendrimers find wide application in various fields, such as charge transport/storage or emitter materials in organic solar cells or OLEDs. Previous studies on boron containing conjugated dendrimers are scarce and mostly employ a convergent synthesis approach, lacking a simple, generally applicable synthetic access. A new divergent approach was designed and conjugated triarylborane dendrimers were synthesized up to the 2nd generation. The synthetic strategy consists of three steps: 1) functionalization, via iridium catalyzed C-H borylation; 2) activation, via fluorination of the generated boronate ester with K[HF2] or [N(nBu)4][HF2]; and 3) expansion, via reaction of the trifluoroborate salts with aryl Grignard reagents. The concept was also shown to be viable for a convergent approach. All but one of the conjugated borane dendrimers exhibit multiple, distinct and reversible reduction potentials, making them potentially interesting materials for applications in molecular accumulators (Figure 5.7). Based on their photophysical properties, the 1st generation dendrimers exhibit good conjugation over the whole system. The conjugation does not further increase upon expansion to the 2nd generation, but the molar extinction coefficients increase linearly with the number of triarylborane sub-units, suggesting a potential application as photonic antennas.   Chapter 4 A surprisingly high electronically-driven regioselectivity for the iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation using [Ir(COD)OMe]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) as the precatalytic species, bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as the boron source and 4,4'-ditertbutyl-2,2'-bipyridin (dtbpy) as the ligand of D-π-A systems with diphenylamino (1) or carbazolyl (2) moieties as the donor, bis(2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)boryl (B(FXyl)2) as the acceptor, and 1,4-phenylene as the π-bridge was observed. Under these conditions, borylation was observed only at the sterically least encumbered para-positions of the acceptor groups. As boronate esters are versatile building blocks for organic synthesis (C-C coupling, functional group transformations), the C-H borylation represents a simple potential method for post-functionalization by which electronic or other properties of D-π-A systems can be fine-tuned for specific applications. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the borylated (1-(Bpin)2) and unborylated (1) diphenylamino-substituted D-π-A systems were investigated. Interestingly, the borylated derivative exhibits coordination of THF to the boronate ester moieties, influencing the photophysical properties and exemplifying the non-innocence of boronate esters.}, subject = {Triarylborane}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Peng2020, author = {Peng, Kun}, title = {iClick reactions as a modular access to palladium(II) and platinum(II) triazolato complexes: Trends in kinetics and biological activity}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-21161}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-211613}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In the context of this work, important trends in the influence of the metal center, coligand, and alkyne reaction partner on the iClick reaction of square-planar palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with a N^N^N, C^N^N, or S^N^N coordination sphere and a number of internal as well as terminal alkynes were elaborated.

To investigate their π-electron donating ability, NHOs were attached to triarylborane π-acceptors (A) giving donor(D)-π-A compounds 1-3. In addition, an enamine π-donor analogue (4) was synthesized for comparison. UV-visible absorption studies show a larger red shift for the NHO-containing boranes than for the enamine analogue, a relative of a CAAC. The red shifted absorption of NHO-containing boranes indicate smaller energy gaps of NHO-containing boranes than CAAC-containing boranes. Solvent-dependent emission studies indicate that 1-4 have moderate intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) behavior. Electrochemical investigations reveal that the NHO-containing boranes have extremely low reversible oxidation potentials (e.g., for 3, E1/2ox = -0.40 V vs. Fc/Fc+ in THF) which indicate the electron rich property of NHOs. Furthermore, TD-DFT calculations were carried out on these four D-π-A boranes. The results show that the LUMOs of 1-4 only show a small difference, but the HOMOs of 1-3 are much more destabilized than that of the enamine-containing 4, which is in agreement with the electrochemical investigations and confirms the stronger donating ability of NHOs. Chapter 2 Since the beginning of this century, the chemistry of (hetero)arene-fused boroles has attracted increasing interest. (Hetero)arene-fused boroles exhibit strong Lewis acidity, distinct fluorescence properties, strong electron accepting abilities, etc. However, their chemistry been only very briefly reviewed either as part of reviews on "free" boroles or on boron-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In this chapter, we addressed the chemistry of (hetero)arene-fused boroles from fundamentals to their widely varying applications. It includes: 1) Synthetic methodology  Both historical and recently developed strategies for the synthesis of fused boroles. 2) Stabilities  A comparison of different kinetic protection strategies. 3) 9-Borafluorenes with a fluorinated backbone  Application as Lewis acids, forming ion pairs with Cp2Zr(CH3)2 and applied as activators for polymerization, activators of H2, and other related applications. 4) Donor-acceptor 9-borafluorenes  Applications as F- "turn on" sensors, potential applications as electron accepting units for organic (opto)electronics, bipolar transporting materials, TADF materials, and different functionalization strategies. 5) Heteroarene-fused boroles  Enhanced antiaromaticity, unique coordination mode and their interesting properties. 6) Intramolecular dative bonding in 9-borafluorenes  Bond-cleavage-induced intramolecular charge transfer (BICT), BICT-induced large Stoke shifts and dual emissions, application as a ratiometric sensor. 7) 9-Borafluorene-based main chain polymers  Application in polymer chemistry and their distinct properties, e.g., as a sensor for gaseous NH3. 8) Electrochemistry  A comparison of electron-accepting ability of different functionalized fused boroles through electrochemical studies. 9) Chemical reduction of fused boroles  Stable radical anions and dianions of fused boroles and their properties. 10) Three-coordinate borafluorenium cations  Cationic 9-borafluorenes and their interesting properties, e.g., in THF, reversible thermal colour switching properties. Finally, a conclusion and outlook regarding the chemistry, properties and applications, and suggestions for areas which require further study was provided.   Chapter 3 Interested in fusing electron-poor arene onto boroles, two electron-poor phenylpyridyl-fused boroles, [TipPBB1]4 and TipPBB2 were prepared. [TipPBB1]4 is a white solid adopting a unique coordination mode, which forming a tetramer with a cavity in both the solid state and solution (1H DOSY). The boron center of TipPBB2 is 4-coordinate in the solid state, evidenced by a solid-state 11B{1H} RSHE/MAS NMR study, but the system dissociates in solution, leading to 3-coordinate borole species. [TipPBB1]4 exhibits two reduction processes which are attributed to the phenylpyridyl cores. TipPBB2 also exhibits two reduction processes with the first half-reduction potential of E1/2red = -1.94 V. The electron accepting ability of TipPBB2 is largely enhanced and comparable to that of FMesBf. This enhanced electron accepting ability is attributed to the electron withdrawing property of the pyridyl group. TipPBB2 exhibits concentration- and temperature-dependent dual fluorescence in solution. With the temperature is lowered, the emission intensity decreases (Figure 6.4, left). We suggested that the dual fluorescence is caused by an equilibrium between 3-coordinate TipPBB2 and a weak intermolecular adduct of TipPBB2 via a B-N bond. This hypothesis was further supported by lifetime measurements at different concentrations, low temperature excitation spectra low temperature 1H NMR spectra and lifetime measurements upon addition of DMAP to a solution of TipPBB2 to simulate the 4-coordiante TipPBB2 species. Interestingly, the ratio of the relative percentages of the two lifetimes shows a linear relationship with temperature; thus, TipPBB2 could serve as a fluorescent thermometer. Furthermore, theoretical studies were carried out on TipPBB2, and two models, ((BMe3)TipPBB1(NMe3) and (BMe3)TipPBB2(NMe3)), which utilize a BMe3 group as the Lewis acid coordinated to pyridine and an NMe3 group as the Lewis base coordinated to the boron center of the borole, were used to simulate the [TipPBB1]4 and intermolecular 4-coordinate TipPBB2, respectively. Theoretical studies indicate that the HOMO of TipPBB2 is located at the Tip group, which is in contrast to its borafluorene derivatives for which the HOMOs are located on the borafluorene cores. Chapter 4 Two derivatives of phenylpyridyl-fused boroles were prepared via functionalization of the pyridyl groups in two different directions, namely an electron-rich dihydropyridine moiety (compound 10) and an electron-deficient N-methylpyridinium cation (compound 11). Both compounds were fully characterized. The 11B NMR signal of compound 10 was observed at 58.8 ppm in CDCl3, which suggests strong conjugation between the boron atom and dihydropyridine moiety. Compound 11 shows a reversible coordination to THF which was confirmed by NMR studies. Compared to other 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl protected 9-borafluorenes which only coordinate to CH3CN or DMF, the coordination of the weaker and bulkier THF to compound 11 indicates an extremely electron-deficient boron center in compound 11. The electron-rich property of the dihydropyridine moiety of compound 10 was confirmed by its oxidation potential (Epc = +0.37 V). Due to the strong conjugation of the dihydropyridine moiety with the boron atom, the reduction potential of compound 10 shifts cathodically and is more negative than -2.5 V. Compound 11 exhibits three reduction processes with the first reversible reduction potential at Ered1/2 = -1.23 V, which is significantly anodically shifted compared to that of its precursor (TipPBB2) or its framework 1-methyl-2-phenylpyridin-1-ium triflate (12). This significantly anodically shifted reduction potential confirms an extremely electron-deficient property of compound 11. Photophysical studies indicate that the lowest energy transition of compound 10 is more likely a locally-excited (LE) transition and compound 11 exhibits a polarized ground state. Furthermore, we performed theoretical studies for both compounds. The electron cloud distribution of the HOMO of compound 10 supports the strong conjugation between the boron atom and the dihydropyridine moiety in the ground state. An extremely low LUMO energy was determined by theoretical studies which confirmed the extremely electron-deficient property of compound 11.   Chapter 5 Inspired by the enhancement of electron accepting ability with increasing numbers of electron withdrawing groups at boron, we tried to study the properties of a bis(pyridyl)arylboranes. In our attempt to synthesize a bis(pyridyl)arylborane, we obtained a bis(2-pyridyl)methoxyborate Li+ complex which is as a dimer both in solution and the solid state. In the solid state, compound [16]2 is a dimer containing two bis(2-pyridyl)methoxyborate which are linked by two lithium cations. Each lithium cation coordinates to one methoxy group and two pyridyl groups, one from each of the two bis(2-pyridyl)methoxyborate anions. The parameters of [16]2 were compared with other bis(2-pyridyl)methoxyborate stabilized Pt(IV) complex, bis(2-pyridyl)hydroxylborate stabilized Ru(II) complex and the dimer of EtAl(OMe)(2-pyridyl)2Li. To confirm the coordination mode in solution, 1H DOSY spectroscopy was carried out in CD2Cl2. The van der Waals radius obtained by 1H DOSY nicely matches with the result from the solid state and thus proves the dimer of 16 is persistent in solution. Finally, different Lewis acids (e.g., TMSCl, BF3•Et2O, AlCl3, HCl) were used to attempt to detach the methoxy group of [16]2. However, we observed either decomposition or selective cleavage of the Tip group, or no reaction at all, rather than cleavage of the methoxy group from boron.}, subject = {Triarylborane}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Gernert2021, author = {Gernert, Markus Stefan}, title = {Lumineszenzverhalten von Kupfer(I)- und Zink(II)-verbindungen mit N-heterozyklischen Carbenen als π-Chromophorliganden}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-23109}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-231099}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Zu Beginn dieser Arbeit galten Kupfer(I)-emitter als vielversprechende Alternativen zu den bis dato f{\"u}hrenden Iridium(III)-emittern, waren dabei aber nur sehr selten tats{\"a}chlich kompetitiv.

This enables applicability in organic electronics and optoelectronics (OLEDs, OFETs, photovoltaics) or as sensory materials. The potential of our B-C coupling protocol using metal-free catalytic Si/B exchange condensation is demonstrated by the synthesis of a series of π-conjugated monodisperse (het)aryl oligoboranes. Variation of the (het)aryl moieties allowed for tunability of the optoelectronic properties of the materials. Additionally, catalytic C-C cross-coupling strategies were applied to synthesize oligofuryl-based mono- and bisboranes, as well as polymers. These studies led to very robust and highly emissive compounds (f up to 97 \%), which allow for tuning of their emission color from blue to orange. Furthermore, this work includes investigations of reaction routes to a kinetically stabilized tetraoxaporphyrinogen. Being a key aspect of this work, a full investigation of the mechanism of the catalytic Si/B exchange was carried out. Additionally, this work presents the use of borenium cations to perform B-C coupling via intermolecular electrophilic borylation.

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

Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit lag dabei auf den strukturellen Eigenschaften sowie den Photolumineszenzeigenschaften der antimon- \bzw bismuthaltigen Koordinationspolymere. F{\"u}r die Synthese der Koordinationsverbindungen wurden die Bis- \bzw Trispyridyle 4,4'-Bipyridin (\textit{4-bipy}), 1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylen (\textit{4-bpe}), 1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethan (\textit{4-bpa}) und 2,4,6-Tris(4-pyridyl)triazin (\textit{4-tpt}), die aromatischen Nitrile 4-Cyanopyridin (\textit{4-cypy}) und 2,4,6-Tris(4-cyanophenyl)triazin (\textit{4-tcpt}) sowie die Heteroaromaten Pyrazin (\textit{pyz}) und Thiazol (\textit{thz}) zusammen mit SbX\$_3\$ und BiX\$_3\$ (X: Cl, Br, I) eingesetzt. Die Reagenzien wurden unter unterschiedlichen Synthesebedingungen miteinander zur Reaktion gebracht, um die Koordination der organische Liganden zu realisieren. Auf diese Weise konnte eine F{\"u}lle an Strukturen beobachtet werden, die sich von Komplexen {\"u}ber eindimensionale Str{\"a}nge und zweidimensionale Schichten bis hin zu dreidimensionalen Netzwerken erstreckt. Als bevorzugte Koordinationsumgebung wurde sowohl f{\"u}r Bi\$^{3+}\$, als auch f{\"u}r Sb\$^{3+}\$ verzerrte Oktaeder beobachtet. F{\"u}r Antimon konnten dar{\"u}ber hinaus quadratisch pyramidale und tetraedrische Koordination mit stereochemisch aktiven freien Elektronenpaaren beobachtet werden, w{\"a}hrend vergleichbare Bismutverbindungen oktaedrische Koordination aufweisen. Dies verdeutlicht die st{\"a}rkere Neigung des freien Elektronenpaares von Sb\$^{3+}\$ {\"u}ber sterische Wechselwirkungen mit den Liganden in Interaktion zu treten, verglichen mit jenem von Bi\$^{3+}\$. Die Bispyridyl Liganden \textit{4-bipy}, \textit{4-bpe} und \textit{4-bpa} formen mit den Antimon(III)- und Bismut(III)halogeniden die sublimierbaren, doppelstr{\"a}ngigen CPs \$^{\ 1}_\infty\$[E\$_2\$X\$_6\$(\textit{L})\$_2\$] (E: Sb, Bi; X: Cl, Br, I; L: \textit{4-bipy}, \textit{4-bpe}, \textit{4-bpa}; \textbf{1}-\textbf{6}, \textbf{8}-\textbf{15}) sowie \$^{\ 1}_\infty\$[SbCl\$_3\$(\textit{4-bipy})] (\textbf{7}). In den CPs \textbf{1}-\textbf{6}, \textbf{8}-\textbf{15} erfolgt die Verkn{\"u}pfung der E\$^{3+}\$-Kationen nicht nur {\"u}ber die organischen Liganden, sondern auch {\"u}ber die Halogenidoliganden. Eine {\"a}hnliche Art der Verkn{\"u}pfung tritt in den CPs \$^{\ 3}_\infty[\$Bi\$_2\$Br\$_6\$(\textit{4-tcpt})] (\textbf{26}) und \$^{\ 2}_\infty[\$Bi\$_2\$Br\$_6\$(\textit{pyz})] (\textbf{32}) auf, w{\"a}hrend in \$^{\ 1}_\infty[\$BiX\$_3\$(\textit{4-cypy})\$_2\$] (X: Cl, Br; \textbf{16}, \textbf{17}) die Verkn{\"u}pfung sogar ausschließlich {\"u}ber die Halogenidoliganden erfolgt. Umsetzungen der Halogenide mit \textit{4-tpt} f{\"u}hren zur Ausbildung verschiedener Koordinationspolymere. W{\"a}hrend mit den Iodiden sowohl die CPs \$^{\ 1}_\infty[\$EI\$_3\$(\textit{4-tpt})] (E: Sb, Bi; \textbf{22}, \textbf{23}), als auch \$^{\ 2}_\infty[\$E\$_4\$I\$_{12}\$(\textit{4-tpt})\$_2\$] (E: Sb, Bi; \textbf{24}, \textbf{25}) zug{\"a}nglich sind, reagieren die Chloride und Bromide zu \$^{\ 2}_\infty[\$EX\$_3\$(\textit{4-tpt})] (E: Sb , Bi; X: Cl, Br; \textbf{18}-\textbf{21}). Aus dem CP \$^{\ 1}_\infty[\$SbCl\$_3\$(\textit{pyz})] (\textbf{29}), das quadratische \{SbCl\$_3\$N\$_2\$\}-Pyramiden enth{\"a}lt, kann durch Erhitzen das h{\"o}her vernetzte \$^{\ 3}_\infty[\$Sb\$_2\$Cl\$_6\$(\textit{pyz})\$_3\$] (\textbf{30}) mit oktaedrischer Sb\$^{3+}\$-Koordination in einer Kondensationsreaktion dargestellt werden. Eine verwandte Struktur wurde auch f{\"u}r die iodidhaltige Verbindung \$^{\ 3}_\infty[\$Sb\$_2\$Cl\$_6\$(\textit{pyz})\$_3\$] (\textbf{31}) beobachtet werden. Die Untersuchung der Lumineszenzeigenschaften der synthetisierten Koordinationspolymere ergab, dass die breitbandigen Anregungsprozesse in den Sb- und Bi-CPs durch metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) Prozesse hervorgerufen werden. F{\"u}r die Emission stellen ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) {\"U}berg{\"a}nge von ligandzentrierten Zust{\"a}nde in die elektronischen Grundzust{\"a}nde an den anorganischen Koordinationseinheiten und inter-valence charge-transfer (IVCT) Prozesse in E\$^{3+}\$-Paaren die bedeutendsten Prozesse dar. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus konnte in einigen CPs aber auch ligandbasierte Fluoreszenz \bzw Phosphoreszenz beobachtet werden. Die Intensit{\"a}t der Lumineszenz ist erheblich von den enthaltenen Halogenidoliganden abh{\"a}ngig (Cl>Br>I), weshalb f{\"u}r iodidhaltige Verbindungen keine Lumineszenz beobachtet werden konnte. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wurden vier lanthanoidhaltige Koordinationspolymere der Zusammensetzung \$\beta\$-\$^{\ 1}_\infty[\$Bi\$_{2-x}\$Ln\$_x\$Cl\$_6\$(\textit{4-bipy})\$_2\$] (Ln: Ce, Eu, Tb, Eu/Tb; \textbf{41:Ln}) hergestellt.

Die Anwesenheit von Ce\$^{3+}\$ f{\"u}hrt hingegen zu einer deutlichen Intensit{\"a}tssteigerung der Lumineszenz der Wirtsverbindung. Somit sind auf diese Weise effiziente Phosphore mit variablen Lumineszenzfarben zug{\"a}nglich.

The process features mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance were observed. This Cu-catalyzed reaction can be conducted on a gram scale to produce the corresponding 1,1,2-triborylalkenes in modest yields. The utility of these products is demonstrated by further transformation of the C-B bonds to prepare gem-dihaloborylalkenes (F, Cl, Br), monohalodiborylalkenes (Cl, Br), and trans-diaryldiborylalkenes, which serve as important synthons and have previously been challenging to prepare. A convenient and efficient one step synthesis of 1,1,1-triborylalkanes was achieved via sequential dehydrogenative borylation and double hydroboration of terminal alkynes with HBpin (HBpin = pinacolborane) catalyzed by inexpensive and readily available Cu(OAc)2. This protocol proceeded under mild conditions, furnishing 1,1,1-tris(boronates) with wide substrate scope, excellent selectivity and good functional group tolerance, and is applicable to gram-scale synthesis without loss of yield. The 1,1,1-triborylalkanes can be used in the preparation of α-vinylboronates and borylated cyclic compounds, which are valuable but previously rare compounds. Different alkyl groups can be introduced stepwise via base-mediated deborylative alkylation to produce racemic tertiary alkyl boronates, which can be readily transformed into useful tertiary alcohols.

Nach der Koordination der CAAC-Liganden an 63 wurde die schrittweise reduktive Abstraktion der Bromatome m{\"o}glich. Die Einelektronreduktionen von 92 und 93 lieferten nicht, wie erwartet, neutrale gemischtvalente Systeme. R{\"o}ntgenkristallographische Untersuchungen an geeigneten Einkristallen der Verbindung 99 zeigten, dass sich eine salzartige Struktur bildete. Bei der Reduktion von 93 wurden beide Bromidreste abgespalten und das Diboraanthracenfragment liegt als Radikalkation vor. Die zweifache Reduktion der Verbindungen 92 und 93 liefert ebenfalls Produkte, die keine 11B-NMR-Resonanz zeigen. Dieser Umstand spricht erneut f{\"u}r die Generierung offenschaliger Systeme. Die R{\"o}ntgenstrukturanalyse geeigneter Einkristalle der beiden erhaltenen Produkte 103 und 104 zeigte, dass die neutrale Diboraanthracenspezies gebildet wurde (Schema 58). ESR-Experimente bei tiefen Temperaturen lieferten Einsicht {\"u}ber den elektronischen Grundzustand der beiden Verbindungen 103 und 104. Die beiden Verbindungen liegen, unter den gew{\"a}hlten Bedingungen, im open shell-Singulett-grundzustand vor. Es ergeben sich Singulett-Triplett-Abst{\"a}nde ΔES→T = 0.43 kJ/mol (4.46 meV) f{\"u}r 103 bzw. ΔES→T = 2.3 kJ/mol (23.8 meV) f{\"u}r 104. Die Reduktion von 92 mit einem {\"U}berschuss von Lithium l{\"a}sst die Darstellung des dianionischen Diborataanthracens 110 zu. Unter photochemischen Bedingungen bildet 103 eine zwitterionische Spiroverbindung 113, durch die Insertion eines Boratoms in den Pyrrolidinring des koordinierten CAAC-Liganden.

Im Falle des CyCAAC-Diboraanthracens 104 konnte die Koordination eines CO-Molek{\"u}ls an die Boratome (140) nachgewiesen werden.

Fluorinated biaryls also have numerous applications in areas such as material science, agriculture, crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, etc. Thus, the development of new synthetic routes to fluorinated chemical compounds is an important area of current research. One promising method is the borylation of suitable precursors to generate fluorinated aryl boronates as versatile building blocks for organic synthesis. Chapter 1 In this chapter, the latest developments in the synthesis, stability issues, and applications of fluorinated aryl boronates in organic synthesis are reviewed. The catalytic synthesis of fluorinated aryl boronates using different methods, such as C-H, C-F, and C-X (X = Cl, Br, I, OTf) borylations are discussed. Further studies covering instability issues of the fluorinated boronate derivatives, which are accelerated by ortho-fluorine, have been reported, and the applications of these substrates, therefore, need special treatment. Numerous groups have reported methods to employ highly fluorinated aryl boronates that anticipate the protodeboronation issue; thus, polyfluorinated aryl boronates, especially those containing ortho-fluorine substituents, can be converted into chloride, bromide, iodide, phenol, carboxylic acid, nitro, cyano, methyl esters, and aldehyde analogues. These substrates can be applied in many cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with aryl halides, the Chan-Evans-Lam C-N reaction with aryl amines or nitrosoarenes, C-C(O) reactions with N-(aryl-carbonyloxy)phthalamides or thiol esters (Liebskind-Srogl cross-coupling), and oxidative coupling reactions with terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the difficult reductive elimination from the highly stable complex [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] was the next challenge to be targeted in the homocoupling of 2,6-di-fluoro aryl pinacol boronates, and it has been solved by conducting the reaction in arene solvents that reduce the energy barrier in this step as long as no coordinating solvent or ancillary ligand is employed. Chapter 2 In this chapter, phenanthroline-ligated copper complexes proved to be efficient catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of highly fluorinated aryl boronate esters (ArF-Bpin) with aryl iodides or bromides. This newly developed method is an attractive alternative to the traditional methods as copper is an Earth-abundant metal, less toxic, and cheaper compared to the traditional methods which commonly required palladium catalysts, and silver oxide that is also often required in stoichiometric amounts. A combination of 10 mol\% copper iodide and 10 mol\% phenanthroline, with CsF as a base, in DMF, at 130 ˚C, for 18 hours is efficient to cross-couple fluorinated aryl pinacol boronates with aryl iodides to generate cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields. This method is also viable for polyfluorophenyl borate salts such as pentafluorophenyl-BF3K. Notably, employing aryl bromides instead of aryl iodides for the coupling with fluorinated aryl-Bpin compounds is also possible; however, increased amounts of CuI/phenanthroline catalyst is necessary, in a mixture of DMF and toluene (1:1). A diverse range of π···π stacking interactions is observed in the cross-coupling products partly perfluorinated biaryl crystals. They range from arene-perfluoroarene interactions (2-(perfluorophenyl)naphthalene and 2,3,4-trifluorobiphenyl) to arene-arene (9-perfluorophenyl)anthracene) and perfluoroarene-perfluoroarene (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-2'methylbiphenyl) interactions. Chapter 3 In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl pinacol pinacol boronates (ArF-Bpin) that contain two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reaction must be conducted in a "noncoordinating" solvent such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene and, notably, stronger coordinating solvents or ancillary ligands have to be avoided. Thus, the Pd center becomes more electron deficient and the reductive elimination becomes more favorable. The Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronate derivatives is difficult in strongly coordinating solvents or in the presence of strong ancillary ligands, as the reaction stops at the [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] stage after the transmetalations without the reductive elimination taking place. It is known that the rate of reductive elimination of Ar-Ar from [ML2(Ar)(Ar)] complexes containing group-10 metals decreases in the order Arrich-Arpoor > Arrich-Arrich > Arpoor-Arpoor. Furthermore, reductive elimination of the most electron-poor diaryls, such as C6F5-C6F5, from [PdL2(C6F5)2] complexes is difficult and has been a challenge for 50 years, due to their high stability as the Pd-Caryl bond is strong. Thus, the Pd-catalyzed homocoupling of perfluoro phenyl boronates is found to be rather difficult.   Further investigation showed that stoichiometric reactions of C6F5Bpin, 2,4,6-trifluorophenyl-Bpin, or 2,6-difluorophenyl-Bpin with palladium acetate in MeCN stops at the double transmetalation step, as demonstrated by the isolation of cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(C6F5)2], cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,4,6-C6F3H2)2], and cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,6-C6F2H3)2] in quantitative yields. Thus, it can be concluded that the reductive elimination from diaryl-palladium complexes containing two ortho-fluorines in both aryl rings, is difficult even in a weakly coordinating solvent such as MeCN. Therefore, even less coordinating solvents are needed to make the Pd center more electron deficient. Reactions using "noncoordinating" arene solvents such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene were conducted and found to be effective for the catalytic homocoupling of 2,6-C6F2+nH3-nBpin. The scope of the reactions was expanded. Using toluene as the solvent, the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of ArF-Bpin derivatives containing one, two or no ortho-fluorines gave the coupled products in excellent yields without any difficulties. DFT calculations at the B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP/6-311+g(2d,p)/IEFPCM // B3LYP-D3/SDD/6-31g**/IEFPCM level of theory predicted an exergonic process and lower barrier (< 21 kcal/mol) for the reductive elimination of Pd(C6F5)2 complexes bearing arene ligands, compared to stronger coordinating solvents (acetonitrile, THF, SMe2, and PMe3), which have high barriers ( > 33.7 kcal/mol). Reductive elimination from [Pd(ηn-Ar)(C6F5)2] complexes have low barriers due to: (i) ring slippage of the arene ligand as a hapticity change from η6 in the reactant to ηn (n ≤ 3) in the transition state and the product, which led to less σ-repulsion; and (ii) more favorable π-back-bonding from Pd(ArF)2 to the arene fragment in the transition state. Chapter 4 In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed C-Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reactions are conducted under base-free conditions to prevent the decomposition of the di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronates, which are unstable in the presence of base. A combination of Pd(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) with SPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl) as a ligand is efficient to catalyze the C-Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorine substituents without base, and the products were isolated in excellent yields. The substrate scope can be expanded to aryl chloride containing one or no ortho-fluorines and the borylated products were isolated in good to very good yield. This method provides a nice alternative to traditional methodologies using lithium or Grignard reagents.}, subject = {Homogene Katalyse}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Lorenz2021, author = {Lorenz, Thomas}, title = {Conjugated Polymers with BN Units in the Main Chain}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-21923}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-219230}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In recent years PI-conjugated organoboron polymers and BN-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have attracted a lot of interest due to their great potential in organic electronics. However, there are only few known examples of conjugated polymers with BN units in their main chain. Within this work silazane cleavage with silicon-boron (Si/B) exchange for the synthesis of a novel class of inorganic-organic hybrid polymers is demonstrated. These polymers consist of alternating NBN and para-phenylene units in the main chain. Photophysical studies and TD-DFT calculations for the polymer and molecular model systems were carried out, revealing a low extent of PI-conjugation across the NBN units. The new polymers can be used as macromolecular polyligands by a cross-linking reaction with a ZrIV compound. In the next chapter the synthesis and characterization of the first poly(p-phenylene iminoborane) is presented. This novel inorganic-organic hybrid polymer can be described as a BN analogue of the well-known poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and is also accessible using the previously described Si/B exchange as synthetic strategy. Photophysical investigations and TD-DFT calculations on the polymer and corresponding model oligomers provide clear evidence for PI-conjugation across the B=N units and extension of the conjugation path with increasing chain length. Furthermore, a possible application of Si/B exchange for the synthesis of polysulfoximines was explored. Herein, diaryl sulfoximines and a p-phenylene bisborane serve as building blocks for new BN- and BO-doped alternating inorganic-organic hybrid copolymers. While the BN-linked polymers were accessible by a facile silicon/boron exchange protocol, the synthesis of polymers with B-O linkages in the main chain is achieved by salt elimination. In the last chapter the concept of Si/B exchange was investigated for the synthesis of BP-linked oligomers. Herein oligomers with sterically less demanding substituents (substituents: 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl or 2,4,6-tri-iso-propylphenyl) at the phosphorus are accessible using Si/B exchange, but the oligomer with Mes* (2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) as substituent needed a salt elimination pathway to give the desired product. Experimental data and theoretical investigations indicate, that the P-substituent has a high influence on the geometry of the phosphorus center and therefore on the possible conjugation over the BP units.}, subject = {Polyphenylenvinylenanaloga}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Krahfuss2020, author = {Krahfuß, Mirjam Julia}, title = {N-Heterocyclic Silylenes as ambiphilic Reagents in Main Group Chemistry and as Ligands in Transition Metal Chemistry}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-21724}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-217246}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This thesis reports on the applications of a particular N-heterocyclic silylene, Dipp2NHSi (1), as an ambiphilic reagent in main group chemistry and as a ligand in transition metal chemistry. One focus of the work lies in the evaluation of the differences in the reactivity of N-heterocyclic silylenes in main group element and transition metal chemistry in comparison with the in these areas nowadays ubiquitous N-heterocyclic carbenes. The first chapter gives an insight into the reactivity of Dipp2NHSi with respect to different types of main group element compounds. Silylene 1 was reacted with group 13 compounds. Adduct formation was observed with AlI3, Al(C6F5)3 and B(C6F5)3 which led to isolation of Dipp2NHSi·AlI3 (2), Dipp2NHSi·Al(C6F5)3 (3) and Dipp2NHSi·B(C6F5)3 (4). Furthermore, the reactivity of Dipp2NHSi (1) with respect to different elementhalide bonds was investigated. The reaction with elemental bromine and iodine leads to the dihalosilanes Dipp2NHSiBr2 (5) and Dipp2NHSiI2 (6). Utilizing methyl iodide, benzyl chloride and benzyl bromide, the insertion products Dipp2NHSi(I)(Me) (10), Dipp2NHSi(Cl)(benzyl) (11) and Dipp2NHSi(Br)(benzyl) (12) are obtained. Thus, insertion is preferred to reductive coupling with formation of RH2C-CH2R (R = H, Ph) and the corresponding dihalosilane. The reaction of 1 with Me3SnCl leads to the diazabutene {(Me3Sn)N(Dipp)CH}2 (9). The reaction of 1 with Ph2SnCl2 gives exclusively Dipp2NHSiCl2 (8) and cyclic polystannanes (Ph2Sn)n. The reactivity of 1 towards selected 1,3-dipolar compounds was also examined and Dipp2NHSi was reacted with azides of different size. The reaction with adamantyl azide led to the formation of the tetrazoline 13. For the reaction with the sterically less demanding trimethylsilyl azide the azido silane Dipp2NHSi(N(SiMe3)2)(N3) (14) and the degradation product 14* was isolated. The cyclosilamine 15 was formed from the reaction of 1 with 2,6-(diphenyl)phenyl azide. The bonding situation and ligation properties of Dipp2NHSi in transition metal complexes was assessed in the second part of the thesis by means of theoretical calculations and experimental investigations. Calculations on the main electronic features of Me2Im/Me2NHSi and Dipp2NHSi/Dipp2Im revealed significant differences in the frontier orbital region of these compounds, which affect the ligation properties of NHSis in general. It was demonstrated that NHSis show significantly different behaviour concerning their coordination chemistry. In particular, one energetically low lying π-acceptor orbital seems to determine the coordination chemistry of these ligands. To provide experimental support for these calculations, the silylene complexes [M(CO)5(Dipp2NHSi)] (M = Cr 16, Mo 17, W 18) were synthesized from Dipp2NHSi and [M(CO)6] (M = Cr, Mo, W) and the tungsten NHSi complex 18 was compared to the NHC complexes [W(CO)5(iPr2Im)] (19), [W(CO)5(iPr2ImMe)] (20) and [W(CO)5(Me2ImMe)] (21). The bonding of Me2Im and Me2NHSi (= L) to transition metal complexes has been assessed with DFT calculations for the model systems [Ni(L)], [Ni(CO)3(L)], and [W(CO)5(L)]. These studies revealed some common features in the difference between M-NHSi and M-NHC bonding which largely affect the bonding situation in transition metal complexes. NHSis show a propensity for bridging two metal atoms which was demonstrated on three different examples. Dipp2NHSi reacts with [Ni(CO)4] to form the dinuclear silylene-bridged complex [{Ni(CO)2(μ-Dipp2NHSi)}2] (22) upon CO elimination. The reduction of [Ni(η5-C5H5)2] with lithium naphthalenide in the presence of Dipp2NHSi yielded the NHSi-bridged Ni(I) dimer [{(η5 C5H5)Ni(µ-Dipp2NHSi)}2] (23). The dimeric half-sandwich complex [{(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2}2] led upon reaction with Dipp2NHSi to the formation of the dinuclear, NHSi-bridged complex [{(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)}2(µ-CO)(µ-Dipp2NHSi)] (24). The insertion of Dipp2NHSi into metal halide bonds was investigated in a series of manganese complexes [Mn(CO)5(X)] (X = Cl, Br, I). The reaction of Dipp2NHSi with [Mn(CO)5(I)] led to substitution of two carbonyl ligands with Dipp2NHSi (1) to afford the tricarbonyl complex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(I)] (25). In 25, the iodide ligand is aligned in the {Mn(CO)3} plane, located between both NHSi silicon atoms. Treatment of [Mn(CO)5(Br)] with two equivalents of Dipp2NHSi afforded the complex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Br)] (26), in which the bromide ligand is distorted towards one of the NHSi ligands. The reaction of the silylene ligand with [Mn(CO)5(Cl)] at room temperature afforded a mixture of two products, [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Cl)] (27*) and the insertion product [Mn(CO)4(Dipp2NHSi)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (27). Complete transfer of a halide to the silylene was achieved for the reaction of Dipp2NHSi with [(η5-C5H5)Ni(PPh3)(Cl)] to yield [Ni(PPh3)(η5-C5H5)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (28). Similarly, the reaction with [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(I)] led to the formation of [(η5 C5H5)Fe(CO)2(Dipp2NHSi-I)] (29).}, subject = {Silandiylverbindungen}, language = {en} } @article{HuangWuKrebsetal.2021, author = {Huang, Mingming and Wu, Zhu and Krebs, Johannes and Friedrich, Alexandra and Luo, Xiaoling and Westcott, Stephen A. and Radius, Udo and Marder, Todd B.}, title = {Ni-Catalyzed Borylation of Aryl Sulfoxides}, series = {Chemistry—A European Journal}, volume = {27}, journal = {Chemistry—A European Journal}, number = {31}, doi = {10.1002/chem.202100342}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-256778}, pages = {8149-8158}, year = {2021}, abstract = {A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B\(_{2}\)(neop)\(_{2}\) (neop=neopentyl glycolato).

The catalytic system typically contains a catalyst, a sacrificial electron donor (SED) and a PS, which needs to exhibit strong absorption and luminescence, as well as reversible redox behavior. Electron-withdrawing pyridine substituents on the terpyridine metal ion receptor result in an increase of excited-state lifetime and quantum yield (Φ = 74*10-5; τ = 3.8 ns) and lead to complex III-C1 exhibiting activity as PS. While the turn-over frequency (TOFmax) and turn-over number (TON) are relatively low (TOFmax = 57 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1; TON(44 h) = 134 mmolH2 molPS-1), the catalytic system is long-lived, losing only 20\% of its activity over the course of 12 days. Interestingly, the heteroleptic design in III-C1 proves to be beneficial for the performance as PS, despite III-C1 having comparable photophysical and electrochemical properties as the homoleptic complex IV-C2 (TOFmax = 35 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1; TON(24 h) = 14 mmolH2 molPS-1). Reductive quenching of the excited PS by the SED is identified as rate-limiting step in both cases. Hence, the ligands are designed to be more electron-accepting either via N-methylation of the peripheral pyridine substituents or introduction of a pyrimidine ring in the metal ion receptor, leading to increased excited-state lifetimes (τ = 9-40 ns) and luminescence quantum yields (Φ = 40-400*10-5). However, the more electron-accepting character of the ligands also results in anodically shifted reduction potentials, leading to a lack of driving force for the electron transfer from the reduced PS to the catalyst. Hence, this electron transfer step is found to be a limiting factor to the overall performance of the PS. While higher TOFmax in hydrogen evolution experiments are observed for pyrimidine-containing PS (TOFmax = 300-715 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1), the longevity for these systems is reduced with half-life times of 2-6 h. Expansion of the pyrimidine-containing ligands to dinuclear complexes yields a stronger absorptivity (ε = 100-135*103 L mol-1 cm-1), increased luminescence (τ = 90-125 ns, Φ = 210-350*10-5) and can also result in higher TOFmax given sufficient driving force for electron transfer to the catalyst (TOFmax = 1500 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1). When comparing complexes with similar driving forces, stronger luminescence is reflected in a higher TOFmax. Besides thermodynamic considerations, kinetic effects and electron transfer efficiency are assumed to impact the observed activity in hydrogen evolution. In summary, this work shows that targeted ligand design can make the previously disregarded group of Ru(II) complexes with tridentate ligands attractive candidates for use as PS in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.}, subject = {Fotokatalyse}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Schmidt2022, author = {Schmidt, Uwe}, title = {Sandwich- und Halbsandwich-substituierte Diborene - Synthese, Eigenschaften und Reaktivit{\"a}t}, doi = {10.25972/OPUS-23460}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-234601}, school = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Innerhalb der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es gelungen, durch das Einf{\"u}hren von Cymantrenylresten neue Diborene darzustellen, welche Halbsandwich-Substituenten tragen und somit das Substitutionsmuster von basenstabilisierten Diborenen um eine weitere Verbindungsklasse zu erweitern.

Results: Activated PhotoCORM inhibits growth and decreases viability of E. coli EC958, but non-illuminated carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (CORM) is without effect. NADH-supported respiration rates are significantly decreased by activated PhotoCORM, mimicking the effect of dissolved CO gas. CO from the PhotoCORM binds to intracellular targets, namely respiratory oxidases in strain EC958 and a bacterial globin heterologously expressed in strain K-12. However, unlike previously characterized CORMs, the PhotoCORM is not significantly accumulated in cells, as deduced from the cellular manganese content. Activated PhotoCORM reacts avidly with hydrogen peroxide producing hydroxyl radicals; the observed peroxide-enhanced toxicity of the PhotoCORM is ameliorated by thiourea. The PhotoCORM also potentiates the effect of the antibiotic, doxycycline. Innovation: The present work investigates for the first time the antimicrobial activity of a light-activated PhotoCORM against an antibiotic-resistant pathogen. A comprehensive study of the effects of the PhotoCORM and its derivative molecules upon illumination is performed and mechanisms of toxicity of the activated PhotoCORM are investigated. Conclusion: The PhotoCORM allows a site-specific and time-controlled release of CO in bacterial cultures and has the potential to provide much needed information on the generality of CORM activities in biology.
