T1  - Calculation of hyperfine coupling constants : An ab initio MRD-CI study for nitrogen to analyse the effects of the basis sets and CI parameter
N2  - The hyperfine coupling constant for the nitrogen atom is evaluated by large-scale MRD-CI calculations. A detailed analysis of the charge density at the nucleus and the spin polarization in the ls and 2s shell as a function of various technical parameters is undertaken. Various (s, p) AO basis sets and the inftuence of correlation orbitals is investigated as weil as selection threshold and other properlies in CI calculations. The best value, obtained for the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant in an s, p, d basis, based on theoretical judgment of' best' quantities, is 9·9 MHz compared to 10·4509 MHz.

T1  - Theoretical study of FC\(_2\)H\(_4\)
N2  - Large-scale multireference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a quite flexible AO basis are employed to study the energy hypersurface for the reaction intermediate FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) • The reaction F + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) -> FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) as weil as the 1,2 migration of the fluorine atom in FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) is investigated. In addition the rotation around the CC bond in the optimum conformation is studied. The absolute minimum in the potential energy is found for the asymmetric structure but the symmetric structure is also found to be stable with respect to the dissociation, so that a shuttling of the fluorine atom is in principle possible but highly unlikely because ( l) the activation energy is high ( II 5-130 kJ fmol) and the saddle point lies only 4(}-50 kJ jmol below the dissociation Iimit of F + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) and (2) the competitive motion, i.e., rotation around the CC axis, is nearly free (I 1-17 kJ/mol).

T1  - The hyperfine coupling constants of the X\(^3\)Σ\(^-\) state of NH : Influence of polarization functions and configuration space on the description of spin polarization
N2  - The hyperfine coupling constants for the \(^3\)Σ\(-\) ground state of the NH molecule are determined by configuration interaction calculations whereby the infl.uence of polarization functions as weil as of the configuration space on the spin polarization mechanism is analysed. The dipolar part Au(N) and Au(H) can be obtained very reliably without much computational effort (A .. (N) == -45·3 MHz and A"(H) = -62·3 MHz). The value for the isotropic contribution a1.., in the best AO basis and MRD-CI treatment is - 64·5 MHz for H and 16·6 MHz for nitrogen compared to the corresponding experimental quantities of -66 MHz and 19 MHz respectively. Their determination depends on a subtle balance of the lu, 2u and 3u shell correlation description, whereby the dominant contribution to a1..,(H) results from the 2u shell. It is shown that the often good agreement of a110 values with experiment in a small basis singledouble configuration interaction treatment results from a cancellation of two errors.

T1  - Study of orbital transformations in configurational interaction calculation of hyperfine coupling in nitrogen and CH molecule
N2  - Multi-reference configuration interaction calculations employing various orbital transformations are undertaken to obtain the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant a\(_{iso\) in nitrogen and a\(_{iso\) (H) in the CH molecule. The natural orbital (NO) basis is found to be more effective than the simple RHF-MO basis; the most obvious is a basis of spin natural orbitals (SNO). It is found that a\(_{iso\) is approached from opposite sides in the NO and 2s shell SNO basis if the CI expansion is increased. Both results are within a few percent of the full CI Iimit for the nitrogen atorn (in the given AO basis) and the experimental value for Hin the CH radical. Various features ofthe SNO are discussed.

T1  - Study of the 1s and 2s shell contributions to the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant in nitrogen
N2  - The istropic part of the hyperfine coupling constant is investigated by means of multireference configuration interaction calculations employing Gaussian basis sets. A detailed study of the 1s and 2s spin polarisation in the nitrogen atom and the NH molecule shows that the structure of the lower-energy space of the unoccupied orbitals is essential for the results. A contraction of the Gaussian basis is possible without loss of accuracy if enough flexibility is retained to describe the main features of the original space of unoccupied functions. Higher than double excitations are found to be non-negligible for the description of α\(_{iso}\).

T1  - Theoretical study of the bridging in β-Halo Ethyl
N2  - Large-acale multi-reference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a quite flexible AO basis are employed to study the energy hypersurface for the reaction intermediates XC\(_3\)H\(_4\) with X = Cl, Br and F. Particular emphasis is therby placed on determining the equilibrium conformations, the CH\(_2\) rotation barrier and the energy surface for a possible bridging (shuttling motion (1a] of X between the two carbon centers). The absolute minimum in the potential energy surface is found in all three cases for the asymmetric ß-halo radical in general agreement with ESR data at an XCC angle of ca. 110°, a c-c separation somewhat shorter than a single bond and an approximate sp3 type hybridization (\(\alpha _2 \approx \) 135-140°). In FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the energy difference between the minimum in the symmetric conformation and the absolute minimum is found to be more than 30 kcal so that shuttling seems impossible in agreement with experimental findings. In BrC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the difference between these two potential minima is only between 1-2 kcal, i.e., smaller than the barrier to CH\(_2\), rotation, so that· shuttling is favored, while ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\) takes an intermediate position between these extremes. The use of correlated wavefunctions is found to be quite important for such a study; the results are related to various kinetic studies of these radicals.

T1  - Study of influences of various excitation classes on ab initio calculated isotropic hyperfine coupling constants
N2  - Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strang dependence on the method employed for its ca1culation has been found. Within a CI ansatz A\(_{iso}\) is considerably affected by the excitation classes taken into account within the CI calculation. In the present work the influence of various excitation classes on A\(_{iso}\) is examined. Calculations including all single, double, triple and a large part of the quadruple excitations are performed and the individual effects of the excitation classes are studied. It is found that the surprisingly good agreement found for S-CI treatments is due to large error cancellations. The importance of higher than double excitations arises from their indirect influence on the single excitations.

N2  - A reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. In previous studies, the configuration selected multireference configuration interaction method in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRCI/ B\(_K\)) yielded accurate isotropic hyperfine coupling constants very economically. The present study gives a detailed analysis of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method based on the X\(^2 \pi\) state of CH as a test case. Furthermore, a comparison to various other methods such as Maller-Ptesset perturbation theory and the coupled cluster approach is made. The success of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method in predicting isotropic hyperfine coupling constants is explained in terms of the inßuence of higher than double excitations.

T1  - Estimation of the influence of the configurations neglected within truncated MR-CI wavefunctions on molecular properties
N2  - Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant, a\(_{iso}\), is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strong dependence on the method used for its calculation is found. Within a truncated multi-referencc ansatz a\(_{iso}\) is strongly affected by the size ofthe reference space and the nurober of terms in the truncated Cl expansion. In the present paperdifferent effects of the neglected Cl space are discussed. Modified B\(_K\) and A\(_K\) methods are used to estimate the contributions ofthe neglected configurations. lt can be shown that a combination of both methods is able to recover about 90-9 S% of the total error in a\(_{iso}\)· Furthermore, it was found that to obtain about 90% of the B\(_K\) correction only about I 0-20% ofthe configurations within H0 have to be corrected.

T1  - Holospiniferoside: A New Antitumor Cerebroside from The Red Sea Cucumber Holothuria spinifera: In Vitro and In Silico Studies
JF  - Molecules
N2  - Chemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the Red Sea cucumber Holothuria spinifera led to the isolation of a new cerebroside, holospiniferoside (1), together with thymidine (2), methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside (3), a new triacylglycerol (4), and cholesterol (5). Their chemical structures were established by NMR and mass spectrometric analysis, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). All the isolated compounds are reported in this species for the first time. Moreover, compound 1 exhibited promising in vitro antiproliferative effect on the human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) with IC\(_{50}\) of 20.6 µM compared to the IC50 of 15.3 µM for the drug cisplatin. To predict the possible mechanism underlying the cytotoxicity of compound 1, a docking study was performed to elucidate its binding interactions with the active site of the protein Mdm2–p53. Compound 1 displayed an apoptotic activity via strong interaction with the active site of the target protein. This study highlights the importance of marine natural products in the design of new anticancer agents.

T1  - Synthesis and characterization of ceramide-containing liposomes as membrane models for different T cell subpopulations
JF  - Journal of Functional Biomaterials
N2  - A fine balance of regulatory (T\(_{reg}\)) and conventional CD4\(^+\) T cells (T\(_{conv}\)) is required to prevent harmful immune responses, while at the same time ensuring the development of protective immunity against pathogens. As for many cellular processes, sphingolipid metabolism also crucially modulates the T\(_{reg}\)/T\(_{conv}\) balance. However, our understanding of how sphingolipid metabolism is involved in T cell biology is still evolving and a better characterization of the tools at hand is required to advance the field. Therefore, we established a reductionist liposomal membrane model system to imitate the plasma membrane of mouse T\(_{reg}\) and T\(_{conv}\) with regards to their ceramide content. We found that the capacity of membranes to incorporate externally added azide-functionalized ceramide positively correlated with the ceramide content of the liposomes. Moreover, we studied the impact of the different liposomal preparations on primary mouse splenocytes in vitro. The addition of liposomes to resting, but not activated, splenocytes maintained viability with liposomes containing high amounts of C\(_{16}\)-ceramide being most efficient. Our data thus suggest that differences in ceramide post-incorporation into T\(_{reg}\) and T\(_{conv}\) reflect differences in the ceramide content of cellular membranes.

T1  - Photoinduzierte Ladungstransferprozesse in Redox-Kaskaden basierend auf Triarylamin-Donoren und dem perchlorierten Triphenylmethyl-Radikal-Akzeptor
N2  - In this work, a series of redox cascades was synthesised and investigated in view of their photophysical and electrochemical properties. The cascades are based on a perchlorinated triphenylmethyl radical acceptor and two triarylamine donors. Absorption spectra showed the presence of charge-transfer bands in the NIR range of the spectra, which pointed to the population of a charge-transfer state between a triarylamine donor and the radical acceptor. A weak to moderate emission in the NIR range of the spectra was observed for all compounds in cyclohexane. Spectroelectrochemical measurements were used to investigate the characteristic spectral features of the oxidised and reduced species of all compounds. Transient absorption spectra in the ns- and fs-time regime revealed an additional hole transfer in the cascades between the triarylamine donors, resulting in a charge-separated state. Charge-separation and -recombination processes were found to be located in the ps-time regime.

Absorptionsspektren zeigten das Vorhandensein von Ladungstransferbanden im NIR-Bereich des Spektrums, welche auf die Bevölkerung eines Ladungstransferzustands zwischen einem Triarylamin-Donor und dem perchlorierten Akzeptor hinweisen. Eine schwache bis mäßige Fluoreszenz ließ sich für alle Verbindungen in Cyclohexan im NIR-Bereich beobachten. Spektroelektrochemische Messungen kamen zur Untersuchung der oxidierten und reduzierten Spezies aller Verbindungen zum Einsatz. Transiente Absorption im ns- bis fs-Zeitbereich zeigte einen zusätzlichen Lochtransfer zwischen den Triarylaminen, welcher zur Ausbildung eines ladungsseparierten Zustands führte. Alle Ladungsseparierungs- und Rekombinationsprozesse fanden im ps-Bereich statt.

T1  - Direct observation of exciton–exciton interactions
JF  - Nature Communications
N2  - Natural light harvesting as well as optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices depend on efficient transport of energy following photoexcitation. Using common spectroscopic methods, however, it is challenging to discriminate one-exciton dynamics from multi-exciton interactions that arise when more than one excitation is present in the system. Here we introduce a coherent two-dimensional spectroscopic method that provides a signal only in case that the presence of one exciton influences the behavior of another one. Exemplarily, we monitor exciton diffusion by annihilation in a perylene bisimide-based J-aggregate. We determine quantitatively the exciton diffusion constant from exciton–exciton-interaction 2D spectra and reconstruct the annihilation-free dynamics for large pump powers. The latter enables for ultrafast spectroscopy at much higher intensities than conventionally possible and thus improves signal-to-noise ratios for multichromophore systems; the former recovers spatio–temporal dynamics for a broad range of phenomena in which exciton interactions are present.

T1  - Synthesis and characterization of terpyridine-based fluorescent coordination polymers
T1  - Synthese und Charakterisierung von fluoreszierenden Terpyridin-Koordinationspolymeren
N2  - Complexation properties of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (tpy) have been studied with a series of first row transition metal ions by UV-vis, 1H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry and ƒ´H values for the tpy complexation processes have been determined. These studies reveal that Zn2+ is the best suited metal ion for the reversible coordination of the terpyridine ligand. Thus, supramolecular coordination polymerization of perylene bisimide fluorophores containing terpyridine functionalities have been investigated by using Zn2+ as metal ion. The formation of the dimeric complexes in the case of monotopic model comounds and coordination polymerization of ditopic functional building blocks have been confirmed by 1H NMR studies. The optical properties of dimeric and polymeric complexes have been investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The Zn2+ coordination to the terpyridine unit does not effect the advantageous fluorescence properties of perylene bisimide moieties. The reversibility of the formation of coordination polymers has been established by 1H NMR and additionally by DOSY NMR and fluorescence anisotropy measurements. Coordination polymer strands can be visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), which also reveals the formation of an ordered monolayer film at higher concentration. The average polymer length has been determined by AFM to 15 repeat units, which correlates well with the value estimated by 1H NMR to >10 repeat units.

Diese Studien zeigen, dass Zn2+ am besten zum Aufbau reversibler Terpyridin-Koordinationspolymere geeignet ist. Aus diesem Grund wurde die supramolekulare Polymerisation von Terpyridin-funktionalisierten Perylenbisimid-Fluorophoren mit Zn2+ untersucht. Die Bildung des dimeren Komplexes im Fall der monotopen Modellverbindung und des Koordinationspolymers im Fall des ditopen Liganden wurde durch NMR Titrationen best&auml;tigt. Die optischen Eigenschaften der Komplexe wurden durch UV-Vis und Fluoreszenzspektroskopie untersucht.

Incorporation into RNA strands by solid-phase synthesis leads to fluorescence enhancement compared to the free chromophore. In addition, linear absorption studies show the formation of an excitonically coupled H-type dimer in the hybridized duplex. Ultrafast third- and fifth-order transient absorption spectroscopy of this non-fluorescent dimer suggests immediate (sub-200 fs) exciton transfer and annihilation due to the proximity of the rBAM2 units.

T1  - Tuning Exciton Coupling of Merocyanine Nucleoside Dimers by RNA, DNA and GNA Double Helix Conformations
JF  - Angewandte Chemie International Edition
N2  - Exciton coupling between two or more chromophores in a specific environment is a key mechanism associated with color tuning and modulation of absorption energies. This concept is well exemplified by natural photosynthetic proteins, and can also be achieved in synthetic nucleic acid nanostructures. Here we report the coupling of barbituric acid merocyanine (BAM) nucleoside analogues and show that exciton coupling can be tuned by the double helix conformation. BAM is a nucleobase mimic that was incorporated in the phosphodiester backbone of RNA, DNA and GNA oligonucleotides. Duplexes with different backbone constitutions and geometries afforded different mutual dye arrangements, leading to distinct optical signatures due to competing modes of chromophore organization via electrostatic, dipolar, - stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions. The realized supramolecular motifs include hydrogenbonded BAM–adenine base pairs and antiparallel as well as rotationally stacked BAM dimer aggregates with distinct absorption, CD and fluorescence properties.

T1  - Nucleic acid-mediated fluorescence activation and chromophore assembly
T1  - Nukleinsäure-vermittelte Fluoreszenzaktivierung und Chromophorassemblierung
N2  - Nucleic acids are not only one of the most important classes of macromolecules in biochemistry but also a promising platform for the defined arrangement of chromophores. Thanks to their precise organization by directional polar and hydrophobic interactions, oligonucleotides can be exploited as suitable templates for multichromophore assemblies with predictable properties. To expand the toolbox of emissive, base pairing nucleobase analogs several barbituric acid merocyanine (BAM) chromophores with tunable spectroscopic properties were synthesized and incorporated into RNA, DNA and glycol nucleic acid (GNA) oligonucleotides. A multitude of duplexes containing up to ten BAM chromophores was obtained and analysis by spectroscopic methods revealed the presence of dipolarly coupled merocyanine aggregates with properties
strongly dependent on the chromophore orientation toward each other and the backbone conformation. These characteristics were exploited for various applications such as FRET pair formation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments. The observed formation of higher-order aggregates implies future applications of these new oligonucleotide-chromophore systems as light-harvesting DNA nanomaterials. Besides oligonucleotide templated covalent assembly of chromophores also non-covalent nucleic acid-chromophore complexes are a broad field of research. Among these, fluorogenic RNA aptamers are of special interest with the most versatile ones based on derivatives of the GFP chromophore hydroxybenzylidene imidazolone (HBI). Therefore, new HBI-derived chromophores with an expanded conjugated system and an additional exocyclic amino group for an enhanced binding affinity were synthesized and analyzed in complex with the Chili aptamer. Among these, structurally new fluorogenes with strong fluorescence activation upon binding to Chili were identified which are promising for further derivatization and application as color-switching sensor devices for example.
N2  - Nukleinsäuren sind nicht nur eine der wichtigsten Klassen biochemisch relevanter Makromoleküle, sondern stellen auch eine vielversprechende Plattform für die definierte räumliche Organisation kleiner funktioneller Moleküle, wie beispielsweise Chromophore, dar. Oligonu-kleotide können aufgrund ihrer präzise gegliederten Struktur, die durch gerichtete polare und hydrophobe Wechselwirkungen hervorgerufen wird, als nützliche Template für die mehrfache kovalente und nicht-kovalente Anordnung von Chromophoren zu Aggregaten mit vorhersagbaren spektroskopischen Eigenschaften genutzt werden. Obwohl eine Vielzahl solcher Chromophorsysteme bereits in der Literatur beschrieben ist, basieren die meisten Chromophordesigns nur auf hydrophoben Wechselwirkungen zwischen den einzelnen Chromophoren und lassen die intrinsische Fähigkeit kanonischer Nukleobasen, komplementäre Basenpaare zu bilden, außen vor. Allerdings liegt es auf der Hand, dass die Berücksichtigung dieser polaren Wechselwirkungen nicht nur zu einer Stabilisierung der Oligonukleotid-Sekundärstruktur führen kann, sondern auch die Interpretation spektroskopischer Effekte vereinfacht.

Um das bekannte Spektrum emittierender Nukleobasen-Analoga zu erweitern und den zusätz-lichen Einfluss dieser polaren Wechselwirkungen auszunutzen, wurden im Zuge dieser Arbeit verschiedene, strukturell unterschiedliche Barbitursäure-Merocyanin-Chromophore (BAM) entworfen. Die Barbitursäure-Akzeptoreinheit dieser künstlichen Nukleobasensurrogate ähnelt der Watson-Crick-Basenpaarungsseite der natürlichen T- und U-Nukleobasen und soll somit die Basenpaarung mit Adenosin ermöglichen. Durch die Kombination dieses Akzeptors mit unterschiedlich aufgebauten aromatischen Donoreinheiten, wie zum Beispiel Indol und Benzothiazol, konnten Merocyanine mit interessanten spektroskopischen Eigenschaften erhalten werden.
 
 Da die Konstitution des Nukleinsäurerückgrates einen starken Einfluss auf die Strukturparameter und die thermodynamische Stabilität der resultierenden Duplexstruktur hat, wurden die synthetisierten BAM-Chromophore in Phosphoramiditbausteine für die kovalente Assemblierung innerhalb verschiedener Oligonukleotidsysteme umgewandelt. Neben der Synthese entsprechender DNA- und RNA-Nukleotide wurden die BAM-Chromophore auch als Glykolnukleinsäure-Bausteine (GNA) mit einem azyklischen Rückgrat hergestellt. Der erfolgreiche Einbau der erhaltenen künstlichen Nukleoside konnte durch Festphasensynthese erreicht werden, wobei über 100 modifizierte Einzelstränge erhalten werden konnten.
  
  Die Hybridisierung der künstlichen Oligonukleotid-Einzelstränge mit ihren jeweiligen Gegensträngen führte zu einer Vielzahl kurzer Duplexstrukturen mit bis zu zehn BAM-Chromophoren in unterschiedlicher Anordnung. Mithilfe verschiedenster spektroskopischer Methoden konnte ein Einblick in die strukturelle Organisation der Merocyanine innerhalb dieser Systeme erhalten werden, wobei sich die Bildung dipolar-gekoppelter Merocyanin-Dimere und -Multimere zeigte. Die hierfür erforderliche ungewöhnliche \textit{syn}-Konformation der BAM-Chromophore wurde weiterhin durch Oligonukleotid-NMR bestätigt. Erstaunlicherweise wiesen die spektroskopischen und thermodynamischen Eigenschaften BAM-modifizierter Nukleinsäuren eine starke Abhängigkeit von der Chromophororientierung und der Konformation des Rückgrates auf. Dieser Effekt konnte für verschiedene Anwendungen wie die Bildung von FRET-Paaren und die Verwendung als internes fluoreszentes Stop-Nukleotid in Polymerasekettenreaktionen ausgenutzt werden. Mithilfe von Rasterkraftmikroskopie wurde außerdem die Bildung von Aggregaten höherer Ordnung beobachtet, was eine zukünftige Verwendung dieser neuen Oligonukleotid-Chromophor-Systeme als Materialien für Lichtsammelkomplexe oder für die DNA-Nanotechnologie denkbar macht.
  
  Ein weiteres großes Forschungsfeld neben kovalenten Chromophoranordnungen mit Oligonukleotiden als Templat sind nicht-kovalente Nukleinsäure-Chromophorkomplexe. Insbesondere fluorogene RNA-Aptamere sind hier von großer Bedeutung wobei die wichtigsten auf der Fluoreszenzaktivierung von Derivaten 4-Hydroxybenzylidenimidazolon-Fluorophors (HBI), dem Chromophor des natürlich vorkommenden grün fluoreszierenden Proteins (GFP), beruhen. Allerdings zeigen viele der berichteten Aptamer-Ligand-Systeme signifikante Nachteile wie unter anderem unspezifische Bindung, eine starke Tendenz zu Photoisomerisierung oder ineffiziente Zellpermeabilität. Deshalb wurden im Zuge dieser Arbeit neue, von HBI abgeleitete Chromophore mit einem vergrößerten konjugierten $\uppi$-System und einer zusätzlichen exozykli-schen Aminogruppe für eine erhöhte Bindungsaffinität synthetisiert und im Komplex mit dem bekannten Chili-Aptamer untersucht. Einige dieser strukturell neuen Chromophore zeigten einen starken Anstieg der Emission bei Bindung an dieses Aptamer und wurden daher weiter charakterisiert. Sie stellen eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit für weitere Derivatisierung und die zukünftige Anwendung beispielsweise als schaltbare Aptamer-basierte Fluoreszenzsensoren dar.

T1  - Stimuli-Responsive Self-Assembly and Spatial Functionalization of Organic Cages Based on Tribenzotriquinacenes
T1  - Stimuli-responsive Selbstorganisation und räumliche Funktionalisierung organischer Käfige auf Basis von Tribenzotriquinacenen
N2  - Within this thesis, synthetic strategies for self-assembled organic cage compounds have been developed that allow for both stimuli-responsive control over assembly/disassembly processes and spatial control over functionalization. To purposefully operate the reversible assembly of organic cages, boron-nitrogen dative bonds have been exploited for the formation of a well-defined, discrete bipyramidal organic assembly in solution. Thermodynamic association equilibria for cage formation have been investigated by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC). Temperature-dependent NMR studies revealed a reversible cage opening upon heating and quantitative reassembly upon cooling. For the spatial functionalization of organic cages, two divergent molecular building units have been designed and synthesized, namely tribenzotriquinacene derivatives possessing a terminal alkyne moiety at the apical position and a meta-diboronic acid having a pyridyl group at the 2-position. Facile access to a variety of apically functionalized tribenzotriquinacenes has been illustrated by post-synthetic modifications at the terminal alkyne group by Sonogashira cross-coupling and azide-alkyne click reactions. Finally, these apically functionalized tribenzotriquinacene building blocks have been implemented into boronate ester-based organic cage compounds showing modular exohedral functionalities.
N2  - Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden Synthesiestrategien für selbstorganisierte organische Käfigstrukturen entwickelt, die eine stimuli-responsive Kontrolle über den Auf- und Abbau sowie eine räumliche Kontrolle über die Funktionalisierung dieser Nanostrukturen erlauben. Um den Assemblierungsprozess organischer Käfige gezielt zu steuern, wurden dative Bor-Stickstoff-Bindungen für die Bildung eines wohldefinierten, diskreten, bipyramidalen organischen Käfigs in Lösung eingesetzt. Die thermodynamischen Assoziationsleichgewichte für die Käfigbildung wurden durch isotherme Titrationskalorimetrie (ITC) tersucht. Temperaturabhängige NMR-Studien zeigten eine reversible Käfigöffnung beim Erwärmen und die quantitative  Wiedergewinnung des Käfigs beim Abkühlen. Für die räumliche Funktionalisierung organischer Käfige wurden zwei divergente molekulare Bausteine entworfen und synthetisiert: Zum Einen Tribenzotriquinacen-Derivate die eine terminale Alkinfunktion an der apikalen Position aufweisen und zum Anderen eine meta-Diboronsäure mit einer Pyridylgruppe in 2-Position. Der einfache Zugang zu einer Vielzahl an apikal funktionalisierten Tribenzotriquinacenen wurde durch postsynthetische Modifizierungen der terminalen Alkineinheit durch Sonogashira-Kreuzkupplungen und Azid-Alkin-Klick-Reaktionen veranschaulicht. Schließlich wurden diese apikal funktionalisierten Tribenzotriquinacen-Bausteine in organische Boronatester-Käfige mit modularer exohedraler Funktionalität implementiert.

T1  - Synthesis and Characterization of an Oligo(Phenylene Ethynylene)-Based Perylene Bisimide Foldamer
T1  - Synthese und Charakterisierung eines Oligo(phenylenethinylen)-basierten Perylenbisimid Foldamers
N2  - The present work is part of the currently only rudimentary understanding of the structure-property relationships in the self-assembly of pi-conjugated organic molecules. 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.
N2  - Die vorliegende Arbeit ist Bestandteil von derzeit erst ansatzweise verstandenen Struktur-Eigenschaftsbeziehungen in Selbstassoziaten pi-konjugierter organischer Moleküle. Solche Strukturen können nützliche photophysikalische und Halbleitereigenschaften aufweisen, die begründet sind in den schwachen, nicht-kovalenten pi-pi-Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Monomereinheiten. Die spezifische gegenseitige Orientierung zwischen den Farbstoffen ruft dabei unterschiedliche funktionelle Eigenschaften im Festkörper hervor, die zugrundeliegenden elektronischen Prozesse sind jedoch noch nicht genügend verstanden, so dass eine gezielte Steuerung oder Verbesserung der funktionellen Eigenschaften schwierig ist. Die pi-pi- Selbstassoziate von Perylenebisimiden (PBI) sind vielversprechende, vielseitige Materialien für die organische Elektronik, und wurden daher für diese Arbeit als Forschungsobjekt ausgewählt um die Wechselwirkung zwischen den Farbstoffen genauer zu untersuchen. In Kooperation mit Experten aus den Forschungsgebieten der Spektroskopie und Theorie sollen verlässliche Routinen entwickelt werden, die ein besseres Verständnis der elektronischen Vorgänge in organischen Funktionsmaterialen ermöglichen und auf längere Sicht eine gezielte Optimierung derselben erlauben. Nachdem entsprechende Modelsysteme konzipiert und berechnet wurden, wurden geeignete Synthesestrategien entwickelt und umgesetzt, was schließlich zu der erfolgreichen Synthese eines Perylenbisimid Foldamers führte, die auf einer abschließenden Sonogashira Co-Polymerisation basierte. Nachdem dieses mittels semip-präparativer Gelpermeationschromatographie (GPC) sowohl gereinigt, als auch dessen größeren Oligomerspezies angereichert wurden, wurde mittels analytischer GPC im Mittel eine molekulare Masse von 8400 Da erhalten, was einem Oktamer entspricht. Dabei wurde ein kleiner Polydispersionsindex (PD) von 1.1 erhalten, was für eine relativ enge Größenverteilung der Oligomerspezies spricht. Diese Größendimension wurde mittels Messung der Selbstdiffusion durch Feldgradienten-NMR-Spektroskopie (diffusion ordered spectroscopy, DOSY) bestätigt. Weiterhin konnte mittels MALDI-TOF- Massenanalyse die strukturelle Integrität des Co-Polymerisationsproduktes nachgewiesen werden. UV/Vis-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten die reversible Ausbildung intramolekularer PBI pi-pi-Aggregate bei Veränderung der Lösungsmittel, was die gewünschten Faltungseigenschaften des Foldamers bei veränderten äußeren Bedingungen demonstriert. In nicht gefalteten Zuständen sind die PBI Farbstoffe durch die kurzen OPE-Brücken zu räumlicher Nähe (< 2.4 nm) gezwungen, was sich in einer exzitonischen Kopplung der Farbstoffe äußert, weshalb für nicht-gefaltete Zustände kein reines, charakteristisches PBI Monomerabsorptionsspektrum beobachtet werden konnte. Im interessanteren gefalteten Zustand weisen die PBIs ein ausgeprägtes Aggregatabsorptionsspektrum auf, allerdings mit klaren Unterschieden in der Bandenform verglichen mit den von uns früher untersuchten intermolekularen PBI-Selbstassoziaten.

T1  - Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy : Conformational Analysis of Methyl-Substituted Cycloheptanes, Cycloheptanols, and Cycloheptanones
N2  - The 130 chemical shifts were determined of the carbons in 12 cycloheptanes, 21 cycloheptanols, and 8 cycloheptanones. In some cyc1oheptanols and cyc1oheptanones, the assignments have been obtained unambiguously by the synthesis of deuterated derivatives and the use of paramagnetic-shift reagents. Substituent effects for the different types of groups have been calculated. The most informative data about the cyc10heptane conformations were provided by the relatively well understood I' effects. The results are generally in,good agreement with predictions based on the twist-chair form, which has been predicted by Hendrickson to be the most stable conformation. Pairs of cis-trans isomers are found to have rather characteristic differences in their 130 spectra. This fact was used to assign the resonances found for cis-trans mixtures of methyl-substituted cyc1oheptanols to specific isomers.

T1  - The <sup>13</sup>C NMR Spectra of Some Tricyclo[2.2.0.0<sup>2,6</sup>]hexane Derivatives : Unexpected High Field Absorptions Due to Additive gamma-anti Subsituent Effects
N2  - By means of the BC NMR spectra of tricyclo{2.2.0~rfJ6Jhexane and thirteen of its derivatives the effects of substituents in endo-3- and endo-5-positions on the HC chemical shifts have been determined. The y-anti effects are at least as Jarge as in monosubstituted cyc1obutanes, where the shielding values of second-row hetero substituents exceed those in unstrained systems by far, and higher-row and carbon substituents still cause substantial upfield shifts. In the title system the y-anti effect of a substituent in the endo-3- and endo-5-position are operative additively, and thus shift the absorption of C-J upfieJd by a maximum of 27 ppm with respect to the unsubstituted hydrocarbon.

T1  - Several Polycyclic Valence Isomers of Dimethyl [14]Annulene-1,8-dicarboxylate. Reactivity of a "Nonconjugated" Bis(bicyclo[1.1.0]butane)
N2  - Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate (5) with benzvalene (4), norbornene, and norbornadiene afforded the azo compounds 7 and 8. Theseare derivatives of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene as is azo compound 3, which had been obtained previously from 5 and 2 equiv of benzvalene (4). The photochemical extrusion of nitrogen from 3, 7, and 8 has been studied. Whereas 7 and 8 on direct irradiation in benzene gave rise exclusively to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane derivatives 9 and 10, respectively, from 3 in addition to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane 11, the diolefin 1l was formed. Diolefin 12 has cisdouble bonds in the nine-membered ring and is fixed in a boat conformation in a manner so that the two bicyclobutane systems approach each other very closely. This geometry suggests the unusual ring opening of the intermediate 1,4-cyclohexanediyl diradical from a boat conformation, which arises by inversion of the primarily generated boat conformation. Sensitized photolysis of 3 as weilasthat of ll produced the saturated isomer 13 of 11 and 12. The proximity of the bicyclobutane systems in 1l causes unprecedented reactions leading to cage compounds. When ll was heated at 90 °C, a rearrangement to the pentacyclic product 10 took place. Utilization of tetradeuteriated substrate ll-d4 supported a pathway with two diradical intermediates. Behaving in a convcntional manncr, bicyclobutane 9 and bis(bicyclobutane) 11 took up 1 and 2 equiv of thiophenol most probably in a radical-chain addition to give the thioethers 28 and 19, respectively. In contrast, bis(bicyclobutane) ll was converted by 1 equiv of thiophenol into cagc compound 30 in a process involving both the strained a systems. Heating at 80 °C subjected 30 to a reversible Copc rearrangement, resulting in a 6:1 mixture of 31 and 30. When it was treated with bromine, 11 was transformed to cage compound 38. This addition is believed to proceed via a cationic intermediate. The structure of cage compound 10 was established by a singlc-crystal X-ray analysis of dialcohol 11 prepared from 20 and methyllithium.

T1  - Generation and interception of 1-OXA-2,3-Cyclohexadiene and 1,2,4-Cyclohexatriene
N2  - The cycloadducts 6 and 7 of tricyc1o[4.1.0.0 2 ,7)hepta- 3,4-diene (~) with styrene and 1,3-butadiene rearrange to unusual products on thermolysis, namely the cycloheptatriene derivatives ~ and 10. 1-0xa-3,4-cyclohexadiene (20) is generated smoothly from 6,6-dichloro-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (22) and n-butyllithium. 1-0xa-2,3-cyclohexadiene (11) is formed from 6-exo-bromo-6-endo-fluoro-2-oxabicyclo[ 3.1.0]hexane (30) and methyllithium. In the presence of activated olefins, this reaction provides an efficient route to 28 and 33 - 38, the trapping products of 21. Interestingly, [2+2]-cycloadditions do not take place at the same double bond of 21 as [4+2]-cycloadditions. The reactions of 1,3-cyclopentadiene and indene with bromofluorocarbene afford 6-exo-bromo-6-endo-fluorobicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene (50) and its benzo derivative ~, respectively. On treatment of these compounds with methyl lithium in the presence of styrene, the interception products 53 and 47 of 1,2,4-cyc10- hexatriene (44) and its benzo derivative 43, respectively, are formed in good yields.

T1  - pi-Stacks Based on Self-Assembled Perylene Bisimides : Structural, Optical, and Electronic Properties
T1  - pi-Stapel von selbstaggregierten Perylenbisimiden : Strukturelle, Optische und Electronische Eigenschaften
N2  - As a traditional industrial pigment, perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes have found wide-spread applications. In addition, PBI dyes have been considered as versatile and promising functional materials for organic-based electronic and optic devices, such as transistors and solar cells. For these novel demands, the control of self-organization of this type of dye and the investigation of the relationship between the supramolecular structure and the relevant optical and electronic properties is of great importance. The objective of this thesis focuses on gaining a better understanding of structural and functional properties of pi-stacks based on self-assembling PBIs. Studies include the synthesis and characterization of new functional PBI dyes, their aggregation in solution, in liquid crystalline state and on surfaces, and their fluorescence and charge transport properties. An overview of the formation, thermodynamics and structures of pi-stacks of functional pi- conjugated molecules in solution and in liquid crystalline phases is given in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the pi-pi aggregates of new, highly fluorescent PBIs without core-substituents. In Chapter 3, the self-assembly of a PBI with tridodecylphenyl substituents at imide N atoms both in solution and condensed phase has been studied in great detail. In condensed state, the dye exhibits a hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline (LC) phase as confirmed by DSC, OPM and X-ray diffraction analysis. The columnar stacking of this dye has been further confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) where single columns could be well resolved The charge transport properties this dye have been investigated by pulse radiolysis-time resolved microwave conductivity (PR-TRMC) measurements. To shed more light on the nature of the pi-pi interaction of the unsubstituted PBIs, solvent depend aggregation properties have been investigated in Chapter 4. The studies are further extended from core-unsubstituted PBIs to core-substituted ones (Chapter 5 and 6). In Chapter 5, a series of highly soluble and fluorescent core-twisted PBIs that bear the same trialkylphenyl groups at the imide positions but different bay-substituents and were synthesized. These compounds are characterized by distortions of the perylene planes with dihedral angles in the range of 15-37° according to crystallographic data and molecular modeling studies. In contrast to the extended oligomeric aggregates formed for planar unsubstituted PBIs, this family of dyes formed discrete pi-pi-stacked dimers in apolar methylcyclohexane as concentration-dependent UV/Vis measurements and VPO analysis revealed. The Gibbs free energy of dimerization can be correlated with the twist angles of the dyes linearly. In condensed state, several of these PBIs form luminescent rectangular or hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline phases with low isotropization temperatures. The core-twisting effect on semiconducting properties has been examined in Chapter 6. In this chapter, a comparative study of the electrochemical and the charge transport properties of a series of non-substituted and chlorine-functionalized PBIs was performed. While Chapters 3-6 focus on one-component dye systems, Chapter 7 explored the possibility of a supramolecular engineering of co-aggregates formed by hydrogen-bonded 2:1 and 1:1 complex of oligo(p-phenylene vinylene)s (OPVs) and PBIs. Covalently linked donor-acceptor dye arrays have been prepared for comparison. Concentration and temperature-dependent UV/Vis spectroscopy revealed all hydrogen-bonded and covalent systems form well-ordered J-type aggregates in methylcyclohexane. With these hydrogen-bonded OPV-PBI complexes, fibers containing p-type and n-type molecules can be prepared on the nano-scale (1-20 nm). For the 2:1 OPV-PBI hydrogenbonded arrays hierarchically assembled chiral superstructures consisting of left-handed helical pi-pi co-aggregates (CD spectroscopy) of the two dyes that further assemble into right-handed nanometer-scale supercoils in the solid state (AFM study) have been observed. All of these well-defined OPV-PBI assemblies presented here exhibit photoinduced electron transfer on sub-ps timescale, while the electron recombination differs for different systems.Thus, it was suggested that such assemblies of p- and n-type semiconductors might serve as valuable nanoscopic functional units for organic electronics.
N2  - Als traditionsreiches in industriellem Maßstab produziertes Pigment finden Perylenbisimid (PBI)-Farbstoffe Verwendung in vielen verschiedenen Anwendungsgebieten. Außerdem sind diese Farbstoffe aufgrund ihrer vielseitigen funktionellen Eigenschaften aussichtsreiche Kandidaten für auf organischen Materialen basierende elektronische und optische Einheiten, wie z.B. Transistoren oder Solarzellen. Für diese neuen Herausforderungen ist die gezielte Kontrolle bzw. Steuerung der Selbstorganisation dieser Farbstofftypen sowie die Erforschung des Zusammenhangs zwischen der supramolekularen Struktur und den optischen und elektronischen Eigenschaften von großem Interesse. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es daher, ein besseres Verständnis für strukturelle und funktionelle Eigenschaften pi-gestapelter Chromophore am Beispiel selbst-aggregierender PBI-Farbstoffe zu entwickeln. Dies umfaßt die Synthese und die Charakterisierung neuer funktioneller PBI-Farbstoffe, die Untersuchung ihrer Aggregate in Lösung, in flüssigkristallinen Phasen, Dünnschichten auf verschiedenen Oberflächen, sowie der Fluoreszenz- und Ladungsträgertransporteigenschaften. Ein Überblick über den Selbstaggregationsprozess, die thermodynamischen Eigenschaften und die Strukturen von pi-Stapeln verschiedener funktioneller pi-konjugierter Moleküle in Lösung und in flüssigkristallinen Phasen wird in Kapitel 2 gegeben. Kapitel 3 und 4 beschäftigen sich mit den pi-pi-Aggregaten neuartiger, stark fluoreszierender PBIs ohne Kernsubstituenten. In Kapitel 3 wurde das Aggregationsverhalten eines PBIs mit Tridodecylphenyl-Substituenten an den Imid-N-Atomen sowohl in Lösung als auch in der kondensierten Phase sehr detailiert untersucht. In der kondensierten Phase wurde eine kolumnar-hexagonale flüssigkristalline (LC) Phase mittels Differenzialkalorimetrie (DSC), optischer Polarisationsmikroskopie und Pulverröntgendiffraktometrie nachgewiesen. Die eindimensionale Stapelanordnung wurde zudem mittels Rasterkraftmikroskopie (AFM) bestätigt, welche ausgedehnte kolumnare Strukturen ergaben. Die Ladungstransporteigenschaften dieses Farbstoffes wurden mittels „pulse radiolysis-time resolved microwave“ (PR-TRMC) Experimenten untersucht. Zur weiteren Aufklärung der Natur der pi-pi-Interaktion des unsubstituierten PBI wurden in Kapitel 4 die lösungsmittelabhängigen Eigenschaften untersucht. Die Studien wurden zudem ausgedehnt von kernunsubstituierten auf kernsubstituierte PBIFarbstoffe. In Kapitel 5 werden die Synthesen einer Reihe sehr gut löslicher, fluoreszierender, nichtplanarer PBI-Farbstoffe vorgestellt, welche dieselben Trialkylphenylimidisubstituenten, jedoch unterschiedliche Bay-Substituenten tragen. Für diese Substanzen wurden mittels kristallographischer Daten sowie quantenchemischer Berechnungen Diederwinkelwinkel im Bereich 15 bis 37° ermittelt. Im Gegensatz zu den ausgedehnten oligomeren Aggregaten des planaren PBI bildet diese Farbstoffklasse aufgrund der Verdrillung des aromatischen Kerns in apolaren Lösungsmitteln wie Methylcyclohexan diskrete pi-pi-gestapelte Dimere. Die Freie Enthalpie für die Dimerisierung korreliert dabei linear mit dem Verdrillungswinkel. In der kondensierten Phase bilden einige dieser PBI-Farbstoffe fluoreszierende, rektangulare bzw. hexagonale kolumnare LC Phasen mit niedrigen Klärtemperaturen. In Kapitel 6 wurden die Auswirkungen des Verdrillungswinkels auf die Halbleitereigenschaften untersucht. Es wurden vergleichende Studien der elektrochemischen Eigenschaften sowie der Ladungsträgertransporteigenschaften einer Serie unsubstituierter und chlorfunktionalisierter PBI-Farbstoffe durchgeführt. Während in Kapitel 3-6 der Fokus auf Einkomponenten-Farbstoffaggregaten lag, wurde in Kapitel 7 die Möglichkeiten einer supramolekularer Anordnung von Co-Aggregaten untersucht, welche durch wasserstoffbrückengebundene 2:1 und 1:1 Komplexe zwischen Oligo(p-phenylenevinylenen) (OPVs) und PBIs aufgebaut sind. Mit diesen wasserstoffbrückengebundenen OPV-PBI Komplexen lassen sich eindimensionale Aggregate auf der Nanoskala erzeugen, welche aus p- und n-halbleitenden Molekülen bestehen. Für die wasserstoffbrückengebundenen 2:1 OPV-PBI Komplexe wurden Anordnungen beobachtet, welche chirale Überstrukturen mit links-drehenden, helicalen pi-pi- Co-Aggregaten (CD-Spectroscopie) aufweisen, die sich wiederum in rechts-drehenden Superhelices bündeln (AFM-Studien). Während für alle OPV-PBI Aggregate photoinduzierte Elektronentransferprozesse im subps Zeitskalenbereich beobachtet wurden, unterschieden sich die Rekombinationsraten je nach System beträchtlich. Somit ist diese Art von organisierten nanoskopischen p- und n-halbleitenden funktionellen. Bausteinen aussichtsreich für verschiedene Anwendungen in der Organischen Elektronik.

T1  - Synthesis and Optical Spectroscopic Properties of Squaraine Superchromophores
T1  - Synthese und Optisch Spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Squarain Superchromophoren
N2  - In this work the successful synthesis, the linear and nonlinear spectroscopic properties as well as the electrochemical behaviour of some linear and star-shaped squaraine superchromophores that are based on indolenine derivatives were presented. The attempt to synthesise similar chromophores which contained only benzothiazole squaraines failed unfortunately. However, one trimer that contained mixed benzothiazole indolenine squaraines could be synthesised and investigated as well.
The linear spectroscopic properties, like red-shift and broadening of the absorption, of all superchromophores could be explained by exciton coupling theory. The heterochromophores (SQA)2(SQB)-N, (SQA)(SQB)2-N and (SQA)(SQB)-NH displayed additional to the typical squaraine fluorescence from the lowest excited state some properties that could be assigned to localised states. While the chromophores with N-core showed very small emission quantum yields, the chromophores with the other cores and the linear oligomers display an enhancement compared to the monomers.
Transient absorption spectroscopy experiments of the star-shaped superchromophores showed, that their formally degenerated S1 states are split due to a deviation of the ideal C3 symmetry. This is also the reason for the observation of an absorption band for the highest exciton state, which is derived from the S1-state of the monomers, as its transition-dipole moment would be zero in the symmetrical case.
The linear oligomers and the star-shaped superchromophores with a benzene or triarylamine core showed at least additive, sometimes even weak cooperative, behaviour in the two-photon absorption experiments. Additional to higher two-photon absorption cross sections the chromophores showed a pronounced broadening of the nonlinear absorption, due to symmetry breaking and a higher density of states.

Unfortunately it was not possible to solve the problem of the equilibrium of the cisoid and the transoid structure of donor substituted azulene squaraines, due to either instability of the squaraines or steric hindrance.
N2  - Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese von einigen linearen und stern-förmigen Squarain Superchromophoren die auf Indol Derivaten basieren. Außerdem werden sowohl deren lineare und nicht lineare spektroskopische Eigenschaften als auch ihr elektrochemisches Verhalten präsentiert. Der Versuch ähnliche Farbstoffe mit Benzothiazol Derivaten zu synthetisieren schlug leider fehl. Allerdings konnte ein stern-förmiges Trimer hergestellt und untersucht werden, dessen Äste aus einem gemischten Indol-Benzothiazol Squarain bestehen.
Die linearen spektroskopischen Eigenschaften, wie Rotverschiebung und die Verbreiterung der Absorption, aller Superchromophore konnten mit Hilfe der Exzitonen-Kopplungs Theorie erklärt werden. Die Heterochromophore (SQA)2(SQB)-N, (SQA)(SQB)2-N und (SQA)(SQB)-NH zeigten zusätzlich zu der typischen Squarain Fluoreszenz aus dem niedrigsten angeregten Zustand einige Besonderheiten die lokalisierten Zuständen zugeordnet werden konnten. Während die Farbstoffe mit einem Stickstoffkern lediglich geringe Fluoreszenzquantenausbeuten zeigen, zeigen die anderen Superchromophore im Vergleich mit den monomeren Squarainen teilweise erheblich größere Fluoreszenzquantenausbeuten.
Transiente Absorptionsspektroskopie Messungen der stern-förmigen Farbstoffe legen nahe, dass deren formell degenerierte S1 Zustände wegen einer Abweichung von der C3-Symmetrie aufspalten. Durch diese Abweichung bekommt auch der Übergang vom Grundzustand zum höchsten exzitonischen Zustand, der sich aus den S1-Zuständen der Monomere ableiten lässt, ein merkliches Übergangsdipolmoment und kann daher in den linearen Absorptionsspektren beobachtet werden.
Die linearen Oligomere und die stern-förmigen Superchromophore die einen Benzol oder Triarylamin Kern haben zeigten mindestens additives, manchmal auch verstärkendes Verhalten in der Zweiphotonenabsorption. Zusätzlich zu den größeren molekularen Zweiphotonenabsorptions-Querschnitten sind auf Grund von Symmetriebrüchen und einer hohen Dichte von Zuständen die nicht linearen Absorptionsbanden merklich verbreitert.
Im Falle der Donor substituierten Azulen-Squaraine, war es nicht möglich wegen sterischen Gründen oder unstabilen Zwischenprodukten in der Synthese, das Gleichgewicht der cisoiden und der transoiden Struktur so zu verschieben das in Lösung nur noch eine der beiden Strukturen beobachtet wird.

T1  - Cooperative enhancement versus additivity of two-photon-absorption cross sections in linear and branched squaraine superchromophores
JF  - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics
N2  - The linear and nonlinear optical properties of a series of oligomeric squaraine dyes were investigated by one-photon absorption spectroscopy (1PA) and two-photon absorption (2PA) induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The superchromophores are based on two indolenine squaraine dyes with transoid (SQA) and cisoid configuration (SQB). Using these monomers, linear dimers and trimers as well as star-shaped trimers and hexamers with benzene or triphenylamine cores were synthesised and investigated. The red-shifted and intensified 1PA spectra of all superchromophores could well be explained by exciton coupling theory. In the linear chromophore arrangements we also found superradiance of fluorescence but not in the branched systems. Furthermore, the 2PA showed enhanced cross sections for the linear oligomers but only additivity for the branched systems. This emphasizes that the enhancement of the 2PA cross section in the linear arrangements is probably caused by orbital interactions of higher excited configurations.

T1  - Modeling antibiotic and cytotoxic effects of the dimeric isoquinoline IQ-143 on metabolism and its regulation in Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and human cells
N2  - Background: Xenobiotics represent an environmental stress and as such are a source for antibiotics, including the isoquinoline (IQ) compound IQ-143. Here, we demonstrate the utility of complementary analysis of both host and pathogen datasets in assessing bacterial adaptation to IQ-143, a synthetic analog of the novel type N,C-coupled naphthyl-isoquinoline alkaloid ancisheynine. Results: Metabolite measurements, gene expression data and functional assays were combined with metabolic modeling to assess the effects of IQ-143 on Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and human cell lines, as a potential paradigm for novel antibiotics. Genome annotation and PCR validation identified novel enzymes in the primary metabolism of staphylococci. Gene expression response analysis and metabolic modeling demonstrated the adaptation of enzymes to IQ-143, including those not affected by significant gene expression changes. At lower concentrations, IQ-143 was bacteriostatic, and at higher concentrations bactericidal, while the analysis suggested that the mode of action was a direct interference in nucleotide and energy metabolism. Experiments in human cell lines supported the conclusions from pathway modeling and found that IQ-143 had low cytotoxicity. Conclusions: The data suggest that IQ-143 is a promising lead compound for antibiotic therapy against staphylococci. The combination of gene expression and metabolite analyses with in silico modeling of metabolite pathways allowed us to study metabolic adaptations in detail and can be used for the evaluation of metabolic effects of other xenobiotics.

T1  - Merocyanine dyes for solution-processed organic bulk heterojunction solar cells
T1  - Merocyaninfarbstoffe für lösungsprozessierte organische bulk-heterojunction Solarzellen
N2  - The technology of organic photovoltaics offers the possibility of low-cost devices due to easy fabrication procedures and low material consumption and at the same time high flexibility concerning the applied substrates or design features such as the color palette. Owing to these benefits, this research field is highly active, being reflected by the continuously rising number of publications. Chapter 1 gives an extensive overview of a part of these reports, namely the field of solution-processed BHJ organic solar cells using small molecules as electron-donating materials. In the early years of this research area (2006-2008), well known hole transporting materials such as triphenylamine based chromophores, oligothiophenes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons were applied. However, many of these dyes lacked absorption at longer wavelengths and were therefore limited in their light harvesting qualities. Later, chromophores based on low band gap systems consisting of electron-donating and electron-accepting units showing internal charge transfer overcame this handicap. Today, donor-substituted diketopyrrolopyrroles (D-A-D chromophores), squaraines (D-A-D chromophores) and acceptor substituted oligothiophenes (A-D-A chromophores) are among the most promising dyes for small molecule based organic solar cells with PCEs of 4-5%. This work is based on the findings of the groups of Würthner and Meerholz, which tested merocyanine dyes for the first time in organic BHJ solar cells.4 According to the Bässler theory85, the high dipolarity of these dyes should hamper the charge transport, but the obtained first results with PCE of 1.7% proved the potenital of this class of dyes for this application. Merocyanine dyes offer the advantages of facile synthesis and purification, high tinctorial strength and monodispersity. Additionally, the electronic structure of the dyes, namely the absorption as well as the electrochemical properties, can be adjusted by using the right combination of donor and acceptor units. For these reasons, this class of dye is highly interesting for the application in organic solar cells. It was the aim of the thesis to build more knowledge about the potential and limitations of merocyanines in BHJ photovoltaic devices. By screening a variety of donor and acceptor groups a comprehensive data set both for the molecular materials as well as for the respective solar devices was generated and analyzed. As one focus, the arrangement of the chromophores in the solid state was investigated to gain insight about the packing in the solar cells and its relevance for the performance of the latter. To do so, X-ray single crystal analyses were performed for selected molecules. By means of correlations between molecular properties and the characteristics of the corresponding solar cells, several design rules to generate efficient chromophores for organic photovoltaics were developed. The different donor and acceptor moieties applied in this work are depicted in the following ...
N2  - Die Technologie der organischen Photovoltaik eröffnet die Chance, kostengünstige Solarzellen herzustellen, da einfache Produktionstechniken genutzt werden können und nur geringe Materialmengen benötigt werden. Gleichzeitig bietet sie hohe Flexibilität bezüglich des Designs, sowohl was die eingesetzten Substrate als auch die gewünschte Farbpalette betrifft. Aufgrund dieser Vorteile ist der Forschungsbereich der organischen Solarzellen hochaktuell, was sich auch in der stetig wachsenden Zahl an Publikationen widerspiegelt. Kapitel 1 bietet einen umfassenden Literaturüberblick über den Bereich der lösungs-prozessierten organischen BHJ Solarzellen basierend auf niedermolekularen Materialien. In den frühen Jahren dieses Forschungsbereiches (2006-2008) wurden hauptsächlich altbekannte organische Lochleitermaterialien wie triphenylaminbasierte Moleküle, Oligothiophene oder polyaromatische Hydrocarbonverbindungen eingesetzt. Viele dieser Verbindungen zeigten jedoch Defizite betreffend der Absorption, da sie nur bei relativ kurzen Wellenlängen absorbierten und dadurch nur einen Bruchteil des eingestrahlten Sonnenlichts nutzen konnten. Später wurde dieser Nachteil durch sogenannte „low band gap“ Systeme, welche elektronengebenden und elektronenziehenden Einheiten aufweisen, oder durch Kombinationen der klassischen elektronenreichen Lochleiter mit Akzeptoreinheiten überwunden. Zu den vielversprechendsten Verbindungsklassen für die Anwendung in lösungsprozessierten niedermolekularen organischen Solarzellen gehören heute Donor-substituierte Diketopyrrolopyrrole (D-A-D Chromophor), Quadratsäurederivate (D-A-D Chromophor) und Akzeptor-substituierte Oligothiophene (A-D-A Chromophor), deren beste Vertreter Wirkungsgrade von 4-5% erzielen. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf den Erkenntnissen der Arbeitsgruppen Würthner und Meerholz, die als erste Merocyaninfarbstoffe in organischen BHJ Solarzellen untersuchten.4 Gemäß der Bässler-Theorie85 sollte das hohe Grundzustandsdipolmoment dieser Verbindungen den Ladungsträgertransport erheblich behindern. Die erhaltenen, vielversprechenden Wirkungsgrade von 1.7% beim ersten Materialscreenin zeigen jedoch die Eignung dieser Fabstoffklasse für organische Solarzellen. Merocyanine bieten einige Vorteile: sie lassen sich einfach herstellen und aufreinigen, zeigen hohe Farbstärken und sind monodisperse Verbindungen. Zudem lässt sich der elektronische Charakter der Chromophore, also die Absorptions- und elektrochemischen Eigenschaften nahezu beliebig verändern, indem man die passende Donor-Akzeptor Kombination wählt. Deshalb ist diese Farbstoffklasse für die Applikation der organischen Solarzellen hochinteressant. Ziel dieser Doktorarbeit war es, ein tieferes Verständnis über das Potential und mögliche Beschränkungen von Merocyaninen in organische Solarzellen zu erlangen. Durch Untersuchung einer Reihe von Donor- und Akzeptoreinheiten wurde ein umfassender Datensatz generiert und analysiert, welcher sowohl die molekularen Materialien als auch die entsprechenden Solarzellen beinhaltet. Die Anordnung der Chromophore im Festkörper wurde bei ausgewählten Farbstoffen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenstrukturanalyse untersucht, um Erkenntnisse über das Packungsverhalten der Moleküle in den Solarzellen und dessen Relevanz für die Leistungsfähigkeit der Zellen zu gewinnen. Anhand von Korrelationen zwischen den molekularen Eigenschaften und den Kennzahlen der entsprechenden Solarzellen wurden mehrere Richtlinien zur Entwicklung von effizienten Chromophoren für organische Solarzellen abgeleitet. Die in dieser Arbeit eingesetzten Akzeptor- und Donoreinheiten sind im Folgenden abgebildet ...
