TY - THES A1 - Kirchner, Eva T1 - Discrete Supramolecular Stacks by Self-Assembly and Folding of Bis(merocyanine) Dyes T1 - Definierte supramolekulare Stapel durch Selbstassemblierung und Faltung von Bis(merocyanin)-Farbstoffen N2 - The present thesis describes the development of a strategy to create discrete finite-sized supramolecular stacks of merocyanine dyes. Thus, bichromophoric stacks of two identical or different chromophores could be realized by folding of bis(merocyanine) dyes and their optical properties were discussed in terms of exciton theory. Quantum chemical calculations revealed strong exciton coupling between the chromophores within the homo- and hetero-π-stacks and the increase of the J-band of the hetero-dimers with increasing energy difference between the excited states of the chromophores could be attributed not only to the different magnitudes of transition dipole moments of the chromophores but also to the increased localization of the excitation in the respective exciton state. Furthermore, careful selection of the length of the spacer unit that defines the interplanar distance between the tethered chromophores directed the self-assembly of the respective bis(merocyanines) into dimers, trimers and tetramers comprising large, structurally precise π-stacks of four, six or eight merocyanine chromophores. It could be demonstrated that the structure of such large supramolecular architectures can be adequately elucidated by commonly accessible analysis tools, in particular NMR techniques in combination with UV/vis measurements and mass spectrometry. Supported by TDDFT calculations, the absorption spectra of the herein investigated aggregates could be explained and a relationship between the absorption properties and the number of stacking chromophores could be established based on exciton theory. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Entwicklung einer Strategie zur Herstellung definierter supramolekularer Stapel aus Merocyaninfarbstoffen. So konnten Dimere bestehend aus zwei identischen oder unterschiedlichen Chromophoren durch Faltung von Bis(merocyanin)-Farbstoffen realisiert und ihre optischen Eigenschaften anhand von Exzitonentheorie diskutiert werden. Quantenchemische Rechnungen ergaben eine starke Exzitonenkopplung sowohl zwischen gleichartigen, als auch zwischen energetisch unterschiedlichen Merocyaninfarbstoffen und der Anstieg der J-Bande der Heterodimere mit zunehmender Energiedifferenz zwischen den angeregten Zuständen der Chromophore konnte nicht nur der unterschiedlichen Größe der Übergangsdipolmomente der Chromophore, sondern auch der zunehmenden Lokalisation der Anregung im jeweiligen Exzitonenzustand zugeschrieben werden. Darüber hinaus führte die sorgfältige Auswahl der Länge der Linkereinheit, welche den interplanaren Abstand zwischen den beiden Chromophoren im Bis(merocyanin) definiert, zur Selbstassemblierung zu Dimeren, Trimeren und Tetrameren, welche definierte π-Stapel bestehend aus vier, sechs oder acht Merocyaninchromophoren umfassen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Struktur solch großer supramolekularer Architekturen mittels allgemein zugänglicher Analyseverfahren, insbesondere der NMR-Technik in Kombination mit UV/vis-Messungen und Massenspektrometrie, aufgeklärt werden kann. Anhand der so etablierten Modellsysteme konnten schließlich die Absorptionseigenschaften definierter π-Stapel diskutiert und ein Zusammenhang mit der Anzahl der gestapelten Chromophore hergestellt werden.

Structural modification at the PBI core results in changes of the optical and electronic properties, which enable tailored functions. Moreover, the aggregation behavior of PBIs is alterable and controllable to achieve new materials, among which organogels are of particular interest because of their potential for applications as supramolecular soft materials. In this work, new PBI-based organic gelators were designed, synthesized, and characterized, and the aggregation behaviors under different conditions were intensively studied by various spectroscopic and microscopic methods. In chapter 2, a brief overview is given on the structural and functional features of organogel systems. The definition, formation and reversibility of organogels are introduced. Some examples on dye based organogel are selected, among which PBI-based organogelators reported so far are especially emphasized. Some basic knowledges of supramolecular chirality are also overviewed such as characterization, amplification, and symmetry breaking of the chiral aggregates. According to our former experiences, PBIs tend to form aggregates because the planer aromatic cores interact with one another by pi-pi interaction. In chapter 3, a new PBI molecule is introduced which possesses amide groups between the conjugated core and periphery alkyl chains. It is found that well oriented aggregates are formed by hydrogen bonding and the pi-pi interaction of the cores. These interactions enable the aggregates to grow in one-dimension forming very long fibers, and these fibers further intercross to 3D network structures, e.g., organogels. In comparison to the very few PBI-based gelators reported before, one advantage of this gelator is that, it is more versatile and can gelate a wide range of organic solvents. Moreover, the well-organized fibers that are composed of extended π-stacks provide efficient pathways for n-type charge carriers. Interestingly, AFM studies reveal that the PBI molecules form well-defined helical fibers in toluene. Both left-handed (M) and right-handed (P) helicities can be observed without any preference for one handedness because the building block is intrinsically achiral. In chapter 4, we tried to influence the M/P enantiomeric ratio by applying external forces. For example, we utilized chiral solvents to generate chiral aggregates with a preferential handedness. AFM analysis of the helices showed that a enantiomeric ratio of about 60: 40 can be achieved by aggregation in chiral solvents R- or S-limonene. Moreover, the long aggregated fibres can align at macroscopic level in vortex flows upon rotary stirring In chapter 5, bulky tetra-phenoxy groups are introduced in the bay area of the PBI gelator. The conjugated core of the new molecule is now distorted because of the steric hindrance. UV/Vis studies reveal a J-type aggregation in apolar solvents like MCH due to intermolecular pi-pi-stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Microscopic studies reveal formation of columnar aggregates in apolar solvent MCH, thus this molecule lacks the ability to form gels in this solvent, but form highly fluorescent lyotropic mesophases at higher concentration. On the other hand, in polar solvents like acetone and dioxane, participation of the solvent molecules in hydrogen bonding significantly reduced the aggregation propensity but enforced the gel formation. The outstanding fluorescence properties of the dye in both J-aggregated viscous lyotropic mesophases and bulk gel phases suggest very promising applications in photonics, photovoltaics, security printing, or as fluorescent sensors. In chapter 6, we did some studies on combining PBI molecules with inorganic gold nanorods. Gold nanorods were synthesized photochemically. By virtue of the thioacetate functionalized PBIs, the rods were connected end to end to form gold nanochains, which were characterized by absorption spectra and TEM measurement. Such chromophore-nanorod hybrids might be applied to guide electromagnetic radiation based on optical antenna technology.
