They are easy to handle due to their good air and moisture stability, and can be readily employed to form carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds and can be converted to various functional groups under mild reaction conditions. Compared with conventional groups, such as aryl (pseudo)halides or alcohols, organosulfur compounds represent an alternative and complimentary substitute in coupling reactions. The construction of C–B bond from C–SO bond of aryl sulfoxide is presented in Chapter 2. The selective cleavage of either alkyl(C)-sulfonyl or aryl(C)-sulfonyl bonds of an aryl alkyl sulfone via Cu-free or Cu-mediated processes generates the corresponding boronate esters, which are presented in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. 1,2-Bis(boronate esters) are emerging as important synthetic intermediates for preparing 1,2-difunctional compounds. In addition, the boryl moieties in different environments in a 1,2-bis(boronate ester) can be differentiated and converted selectively, allowing the synthesis of a wide variety of complex molecules. A direct and selective diboration of C–X and C–O bonds for the preparation of 1,2-bis(boronate esters) is presented in Chapter 5. N2 - Alkylboronate spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der Synthesechemie, den Materialwissenschaften und der Wirkstoffforschung. Sie sind aufgrund ihrer guten Luft- und Feuchtigkeitsstabilität einfach zu handhaben und können leicht zur Bildung von Kohlenstoff-Kohlenstoff- und Kohlenstoff-Heteroatom-Bindungen verwendet und unter milden Reaktionsbedingungen in verschiedene funktionelle Gruppen umgewandelt werden. Gegenüber herkömmlichen Gruppen wie Aryl(Pseudo)halogeniden oder Alkoholen stellen Organoschwefelverbindungen einen alternativen und komplementären Ersatz bei Kupplungsreaktionen dar. Der Aufbau einer C–B-Bindung aus einer C–SO-Bindung von Arylsulfoxid wird in Kapitel 2 vorgestellt. Die selektive Spaltung von entweder Alkyl(C)-Sulfonyl- oder Aryl(C)-Sulfonyl-Bindungen eines Arylalkylsulfons über Cu-freie oder Cu-vermittelte Prozesse erzeugen die entsprechenden Boronatester und werden in Kapitel 3 und Kapitel 4 vorgestellt. 1,2-Bis(Boronatester) entwickeln sich als wichtige Synthesezwischenprodukte zur Herstellung von 1,2-difunktionellen Verbindungen. Darüber hinaus können die Boryleinheiten in verschiedenen Umgebungen in einem 1,2-Bis(boronatester) differenziert und selektiv umgewandelt werden, was die Synthese einer Vielzahl komplexer Moleküle ermöglicht. Eine direkte und selektive Diborierung von C–X- und C–O-Bindungen zur Herstellung von 1,2-Bis(boronatestern) wird in Kapitel 5 vorgestellt.

We report the first persistent RTP with lifetimes up to 0.5 s from simple triarylboranes which have no lone pairs. We also have prepared 3 isomeric (o, m, p-bromophenyl)-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boranes. Among the 3 isomers (o-, m- and p-BrTAB) synthesized, the ortho-one is the only one which shows dual phosphorescence, with a short lifetime of 0.8 ms and a long lifetime of 234 ms in the crystalline state at room temperature. At last, we checked the RTP properties from the boric acid. We found that the pure boric acid does not show RTP in the solid state. N2 - In letzter Zeit haben Luminophore, die eine effiziente Raumtemperatur-Phosphoreszenz (RTP) zeigen, aufgrund ihrer zahlreichen Anwendungen enormes Interesse gefunden. Die meisten phosphoreszierenden Materialien leiten sich jedoch von Übergangsmetallkomplexen ab, da ihr intrinsisches schnelles Intersystem Crossing (ISC) durch die starke Spin Bahn Kopplung (SOC) des Schwermetalls induziert wird. Metallfreie RTP Materialien sind selten und haben sich zu einem vielversprechenden Gebiet entwickelt, da sie kostengünstig und umweltfreundlich sind. Dieses Kapitel fasst organische molekulare Materialien mit langen Triplett Lebensdauern bei Raumtemperatur aus der Perspektive zusammen, ob sie aus einem molekularen oder Mehrkomponentensystem stammen. Bei rein organischen phosphoreszierenden Materialien werden üblicherweise Heteroatome in das Rückgrat eingeführt, um die Singulett Triplett ISC Geschwindigkeitskonstante zu erhöhen. In Mehrkomponentensystemen wird durch nützliche Strategien wie Wirt-Gast, Polymermatrix, Copolymerisation und supramolekulare Anordnung eine starre Matrixanordnung erreicht, durch die nichtstrahlende Pfade eingeschränkt und so ultralange RTP realisiert wird. ...

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.

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. N2 - In den letzten Jahren haben PI-konjugierte Organoborpolymere und BN-dotierte polyzyklische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe aufgrund ihres großen Potenzials in organischer Elektronik großes Interesse auf sich gezogen. In der Literatur sind jedoch nur wenige Beispiele für konjugierte Polymere mit BN-Einheiten in ihrer Hauptkette bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wird die Silazanspaltung mit Silizium-Bor (Si/B)-Austausch zur Synthese einer neuen Klasse von anorganisch-organischen Hybridpolymeren vorgestellt. Diese Polymere bestehen aus alternierenden NBN- und para-Phenylen-Einheiten in der Hauptkette. Es wurden photophysikalische Untersuchungen und TD-DFT-Berechnungen für das Polymer und molekulare Modellsysteme durchgeführt, welche auf ein geringes Ausmaß an PI-Konjugation über die NBN-Einheiten deuten. Durch eine Vernetzungsreaktion über ZrIV-Verbindungen besteht die Möglichkeit diese neuen Polymere als makromolekulare Polyliganden einzusetzen. Im nächsten Kapitel wird die Synthese und Charakterisierung des ersten Poly(p-phenyleniminoborans) vorgestellt. Dieses neue anorganisch-organische Hybridpolymer kann als ein BN-Analogon des bekannten Poly(p-phenylenvinylen) (PPV) beschrieben werden und ist auch über den zuvor beschriebenen Si/B-Austausch als Synthesestrategie zugänglich. Photophysikalische Untersuchungen und TD-DFT-Berechnungen an dem Polymer und an entsprechenden Oligomeren als Modellsystem liefern deutliche Hinweise auf eine PI-Konjugation über die B=N-Einheiten und eine Erweiterung der Konjugationslänge mit wachsender Kettenlänge. Weiterhin wurde die Anwendungsmöglichkeit des Si/B-Austausches für die Synthese von Polysulfoximinen untersucht. Dabei dienen Diarylsulfoximine und p-Phenylenbisboran als Bausteine für neue BN- und BO-dotierte alternierende anorganisch-organische Hybridkopolymere. Während die BN-verknüpften Polymere über den Silizium/Bor-Austausch als Synthesestrategie zugänglich waren, wird die Synthese der Polymere mit B-O-Bindungen in der Hauptkette durch eine Salzeliminierung erreicht. Im letzten Kapitel wurde das Konzept des Si/B-Austausches für die Synthese von BP-verknüpften Oligomeren untersucht. Dabei sind Oligomere mit sterisch weniger anspruchsvollen Substituenten (Substituenten: 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl oder 2,4,6-tri-iso-propylphenyl) am Phosphor mittels Si/B-Austausch zugänglich, während für die Synthese des Oligomers mit Mes* (2,4,6-tri-tert-Butylphenyl) als Substituent eine Salzeliminierung notwendig war um das gewünschte Produkt zu erhalten. Experimentelle Daten und theoretische Untersuchungen deuten darauf hin, dass der P-Substituent einen großen Einfluss auf die Geometrie des Phosphorzentrums und damit auf die mögliche Konjugation über die BP-Einheit hat.

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). N2 - Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Anwendungen des N-heterocyclischen Silylens Dipp2NHSi (1) als ambiphiles Reagenz in der Hauptgruppenchemie und als Ligand in der Übergangsmetallchemie. Ein Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Beurteilung der Unterschiede in der Reaktivität von N-heterocyclischen Silylenen in der Hauptgruppen- und Übergangsmetallchemie im Vergleich zu den heutzutage allgegenwärtigen N heterocyclischen Carbenen. Im Verlauf dieser Studie wurde Silylen 1 mit Verbindungen der Gruppe 13 umgesetzt und die Addukte Dipp2NHSi·AlI3 (2), Dipp2NHSi·Al(C6F5)3 (3) und Dipp2NHSi·B(C6F5)3 (4) isoliert. Weiterhin wurde die Reaktivität von Dipp2NHSi (1) in Bezug auf ElementHalogen-Bindungen verschiedener Hauptgruppenelement-Verbindungen untersucht. Die Umsetzung mit elementarem Brom und Iod führt zu den Dihalogensilanen Dipp2NHSiBr2 (5) und Dipp2NHSiI2 (6). Unter Verwendung von Methyliodid, Benzylchlorid und Benzylbromid konnten die Insertionsprodukte Dipp2NHSi(I)(Me) (10), Dipp2NHSi(Cl)(benzyl) (11) und Dipp2NHSi(Br)(benzyl) (12) gebildet werden. Die Insertion ist gegenüber der reduktiven Kupplung unter Ausbildung von RH2C–CH2R (R = H, Ph) und dem Dihalosilan bevorzugt. Die Umsetzung von 1 mit dem Zinnchlorid Me3SnCl führt Bildung des Diazabutens {(Me3Sn)N(Dipp)CH}2 (9). Die Reaktion mit Ph2SnCl2 hingegen ergibt das Dichlorsilan Dipp2NHSiCl2 (8) sowie cyclische Polystannane der Form (Ph2Sn)n. Außerdem wurde Dipp2NHSi mit Aziden unterschiedlichen sterischen Anspruchs umgesetzt. Die Reaktion mit Adamantylazid führt zur Bildung des Tetrazolins 13. Das sterisch weniger anspruchsvolle Trimethylsilylazid reagiert mit Dipp2NHSi unter Bildung des Silylazids Dipp2NHSi(N(SiMe3)2)(N3) (14). Das Cyclosilamin 15 wird durch die Reaktion von 1 mit 2,6-(Diphenyl)phenylazid gebildet. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurden die Bindungssituation und die Ligandeneigenschaften von Dipp2NHSi (1) in Übergangsmetallkomplexen mithilfe von theoretischen Rechnungen und experimentellen Untersuchungen beleuchtet. DFT-Rechnungen zu den grundlegenden elektronischen Eigenschaften von Me2Im/Me2NHSi und Dipp2Im/Dipp2NHSi ergaben signifikante Unterschiede im Bereich der Grenzorbitale, welche die Bindungssituation von NHSis im Allgemeinen beeinflussen. Insbesondere ein energetisch tiefliegendes π-Orbital scheint die Koordinationschemie dieser Liganden zu bestimmen. Zur Unterstützung der theoretischen Befunde wurden die Silylen-Komplexe M(CO)5(Dipp2NHSi)] (M = Cr 16, Mo 17, W 18) durch Umsetzung von Dipp2NHSi und [M(CO)6] (M= Cr, Mo, W) dargestellt und der Wolframkomplex 18 mit den NHC-Komplexen [W(CO)5(iPr2Im)] (19), [W(CO)5(iPr2ImMe)] (20) und [W(CO)5(Me2ImMe)] (21) verglichen. Die Bindung von Me2Im und Me2NHSi (= L) und Übergangsmetallkomplexen wurde für die verschiedenen Modellverbindungen [Ni(L)], [Ni(CO)3(L)] und [W(CO)5(L)] mittels DFT Rechnungen untersucht, wobei einige Unterschiede zwischen den M–NHSi und M–NHC Bindungen festgestellt wurden, welche die Bindungssituation in Übergangsmetallkomplexen stark beeinflussen. Im Unterschied zu NHCs zeigen N-heterocyclische Silylene eine Neigung zur Verbrückung zweier Metallzentren und dieses Verhalten konnte anhand dreier Beispielen belegt werden. Dipp2NHSi (1) reagiert mit [Ni(CO)4] zum Silylen-verbrückten Nickelkomplex [{Ni(CO)2(μ-Dipp2NHSi)}2] (22). Die Reduktion von Nickelocen mit Lithiumnaphthalid in der Gegenwart von Dipp2NHSi (1) führt zur Bildung des NHSi verbrückten, Ni(I)-Dimers [(η5-C5H5)Ni(µ-Dipp2NHSi)]2 (23). Ähnlich hierzu reagiert der dimere Komplex {[(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2]2} mit Dipp2NHSi zum Silylen-verbrückten dinuklearen Komplex [{(η5 C5H5)Fe(CO)}2(µ-CO)(µ-Dipp2NHSi)] (24). Weiterhin wurde die Insertion von Dipp2NHSi (1) in MetallHalogen-Bindungen anhand einer Reihe von Mangankomplexen der Form [Mn(CO)5(X)] (X = Cl, Br, I) untersucht. Die Reaktion von zwei Äquivalenten des Silylens 1 mit dem Iodokomplex [Mn(CO)5(I)] führt zur Bildung des Tricarbonylkomplexes [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(I)] (25), in dem der Iodidligand symmetrisch zwischen den beiden Siliciumatomen der Silylenliganden in der {Mn(CO)3}-Ebene liegt. Ähnlich hierzu wird der Bis-Silylenkomplex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Br)] (26) durch Umsetzung von [Mn(CO)5(Br)] mit 1 erhalten, wobei eine Wechselwirkung des Bromidliganden mit einem Silylenliganden beobachtet wird. Die Reaktion von Dipp2NHSi 1 mit [Mn(CO)5(Cl)] bei Raumtemperatur resultiert in der Bildung zweier Reaktionsprodukte, dem Bis-Silylenkomplex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Cl)] (27*) und dem Insertionsprodukt [Mn(CO)4(Dipp2NHSi)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (27). Die vollständige Übertragung des Halogenidoliganden auf das Siliciumatom von 1 kann auch für den Halb-Sandwich-Komplex [(η5-C5H5)Ni(PPh3)(Cl)] beobachtet werden, wobei der Komplex [Ni(PPh3)(η5-C5H5)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (28) isoliert wird. Ähnlich hierzu führt die Reaktion von [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(I)] mit dem Silylen 1 ebenfalls zur Bildung des Insertionsproduktes [(η5 C5H5)Fe(CO)2(Dipp2NHSi-I)] (29).

T1 - Ni-Catalyzed Borylation of Aryl Sulfoxides JF - Chemistry—A European Journal N2 - 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). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I is in equilibrium with the S-bonded isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(SOC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2-TZVP-level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(η\(^{2}\)-{SO}-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5.

T1 - Transition metal catalyst-free, base-promoted 1,2-additions of polyfluorophenylboronates to aldehydes and ketones JF - Angewandte Chemie International Edition N2 - A novel protocol for the transition metal-free 1,2-addition of polyfluoroaryl boronate esters to aldehydes and ketones is reported, which provides secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols, and ketones. Control experiments and DFT calculations indicate that both the ortho-F substituents on the polyfluorophenyl boronates and the counterion K\(^+\) in the carbonate base are critical. The distinguishing features of this procedure include the employment of commercially available starting materials and the broad scope of the reaction with a wide variety of carbonyl compounds giving moderate to excellent yields.

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. N2 - In dieser Arbeit werden verschiedene Liganden für Ru(II)-Komplexe und die Aktivität der Komplexe als Photosensibilisatoren (PS) in der photokatalytischen Wasserstoffentwicklung untersucht. Das katalytische System besteht typischerweise aus einem Katalysator, einem Opferelektronendonator (SED) und einem PS, welcher eine starke Absorption und Lumineszenz sowie ein reversibles Redoxverhalten aufweisen sollte. Elektronenziehende Pyridin-Substituenten am Terpyridin-Metallionenrezeptor resultieren in einer Erhöhung der Lebensdauer des angeregten Zustands sowie der Quantenausbeute (Φ = 74*10-5; τ = 3.8 ns), was dazu führt, dass Komplex III-C1 als PS aktiv ist. Während die Wechselzahl (TOFmax) und der Umsatz (TON) relativ niedrig sind (TOFmax = 57 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1; TON(44 h) = 134 mmolH2 molPS 1), ist das katalytische System langlebig und verliert im Laufe von 12 Tagen nur 20% seiner Aktivität. Das heteroleptische Design in III-C1 erweist sich als vorteilhaft für die Leistung als PS, obwohl III-C1 vergleichbare photophysikalische und elektrochemische Eigenschaften besitzt wie der homoleptische Komplex IV-C2 (TOFmax = 35 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1; TON(24 h) = 14 mmolH2 molPS-1). In beiden Fällen erweist sich das reduktive Lumineszenzlöschen des angeregten PS durch den SED als geschwindigkeitsbestimmender Schritt. Daher werden die Liganden entweder durch N-Methylierung der peripheren Pyridin-Substituenten oder durch Einführung eines Pyrimidinrings in den Metallionenrezeptor elektronenziehender gestaltet, was zu erhöhten Lebensdauern des angeregten Zustands (τ = 9–40 ns) und Lumineszenzquantenausbeuten (Φ = 40–400*10-5) führt. Der stärker elektronenziehende Charakter der Liganden führt allerdings auch zu anodisch verschobenen Reduktionspotentialen, wodurch die treibende Kraft für den Elektronentransfer vom reduzierten PS zum Katalysator reduziert wird. Daher erweist sich dieser Elektronentransferschritt als ein limitierender Faktor für die Gesamtleistung des PS. Während höhere TOFmax in Wasserstoffproduktionsexperimenten für Pyrimidin-haltige PS beobachtet werden (TOFmax = 300–715 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1), ist die Langlebigkeit für diese Systeme mit Halbwertszeiten von 2–6 h deutlich reduziert. Die Erweiterung der Pyrimidin-haltigen Liganden zu zweikernigen Komplexen führt zu einem stärkeren Absorptionsvermögen (ε = 100–135*103 L mol-1 cm-1), erhöhter Lumineszenz (τ = 90–125 ns, Φ = 210–350*10-5) und kann bei ausreichender treibender Kraft für den Elektronentransfer zum Katalysator auch zu einer höheren TOFmax führen (TOFmax = 1500 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1). Beim Vergleich von Komplexen mit ähnlichen treibenden Kräften spiegelt sich die stärkere Lumineszenz in einem höheren TOFmax wider. Es wird angenommen, dass neben thermodynamischen Faktoren auch kinetische Effekte und die Effizienz des Elektronentransfers die beobachtete Aktivität bei der Wasserstoffentwicklung beeinflussen. Zusammenfassend zeigt diese Arbeit, dass gezieltes Ligandendesign die bisher vernachlässigte Gruppe der Ru(II)-Komplexe mit tridentaten Liganden zu attraktiven Kandidaten für den Einsatz als PS in der photokatalytischen Wasserstoffentwicklung machen kann. N2 - Cette thèse étudie la conception de différentes ligands pour les complexes de Ru(II) et leur activité comme photosensibilisateur (PS) dans l'évolution photocatalytique de l'hydrogène. Le système catalytique contient généralement un catalyseur, un donneur d'électron sacrificiel (SED) et un PS, qui doit présenter une forte absorption et luminescence et un comportement redox réversible. Les substituants pyridine attracteurs d'électrons sur le récepteur d'ions métalliques terpyridine entraînent une augmentation de la durée de vie de l'état excité et du rendement quantique (Φ = 74*10-5; τ = 3.8 ns) et permettent au complexe III-C1 de présenter une activité en tant que PS. Bien que la fréquence (TOFmax) et le nombre de cycle catalytique (TON) soient relativement faibles (TOFmax = 57 mmolH2 molPS-1 min 1; TON(44 h) = 134 mmolH2 molPS-1), le système catalytique a une longue durée de vie, ne perdant que 20% de son activité au cours de 12 jours. De manière intéressante, la conception hétérolytique dans III-C1 s'avère être bénéfique pour la performance en tant que PS, malgré des propriétés photophysiques et électrochimiques comparables à celles du complexe homoleptique IV-C2 (TOFmax = 35 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1; TON(24 h) = 14 mmolH2 molPS-1). L'extinction réductive de la PS excitée par le SED est identifiée comme l'étape limitant la vitesse dans les deux cas. Par conséquent, les ligands sont modifiés pour être plus accepteurs d'électrons, soit par N-méthylation des substituants pyridine périphériques, soit par introduction d'un cycle pyrimidine dans le récepteur d'ion métallique, ce qui conduit à une augmentation des durées de vie des états excités (τ = 9–40 ns) et des rendements quantiques de luminescence (Φ = 40–400*10-5). Cependant, le caractère plus accepteur d'électrons des ligands entraîne également des potentiels de réduction décalés anodiquement, ce qui conduit à un manque de force motrice pour le transfert d'électrons du PS réduit au catalyseur. Ainsi, cette étape de transfert d'électrons s'avère être un facteur limitant de la performance globale du PS. Alors que des TOFmax plus élevés dans les expériences d'évolution de l'hydrogène sont observés pour les PS contenant le motif pyrimidine (TOFmax = 300–715 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1), la longévité de ces systèmes est réduite avec des temps de demi-vie de 2–6 h. L'expansion des ligands contenant le motif pyrimidine en complexes dinucléaires conduit à une absorptivité plus forte (ε = 100–135*103 L mol-1 cm-1), une luminescence accrue (τ = 90–125 ns, Φ = 210–350*10-5) et peut également entraîner un TOFmax plus élevé si la force motrice est suffisante pour le transfert d'électrons vers le catalyseur (1500 mmolH2 molPS-1 min-1). En comparant des complexes avec des forces motrices similaires, une luminescence plus forte se traduit par un TOFmax plus élevé. Outre les considérations thermodynamiques, les effets cinétiques et l'efficacité du transfert d'électrons sont supposés avoir un impact sur l'activité observée dans l'évolution de l'hydrogène. En résumé, ce travail montre que la conception ciblée de ligands peut faire du groupe précédemment négligé des complexes de Ru(II) avec des ligands tridentés des candidats attrayants pour une utilisation comme PS dans l'évolution photocatalytique de l'hydrogène.

With these half-sandwich substituents it was possible to expand the substitution pattern of base-stabilized diborenes by further examples. In addition to cymantrenyl substituents, ferrocenyl substituents were introduced into the corresponding diborene systems. In addition to the synthesis of new diborene systems, reactivity studies on the diboraferrocenophane 29 constituted another major component of the present work. It was shown that 29 reacts with small Lewis-bases, element-hydrogen compounds, and hydrogenation reagents.

T1 - Antimicrobial Activity of the Manganese Photoactivated Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Molecule [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-kappa\(^3\)N)]\(^+\) Against a Pathogenic Escherichia coli that Causes Urinary Infections JF - Antioxidants & Redox Signaling N2 - Aims: We set out to investigate the antibacterial activity of a new Mn-based photoactivated carbon monoxide-releasing molecule (PhotoCORM, [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-kappa\(^3\)N)]\(^+\)) against an antibiotic-resistant uropathogenic strain (EC958) of Escherichia coli. 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. Understanding the mechanism(s) of activated PhotoCORM toxicity will be key in exploring the potential of this and similar compounds as antimicrobial agents, perhaps in combinatorial therapies with other agents.

Some of these 9-borafluorene compounds exhibit strong yellowish emission in solution and in the solid state with relatively high quantum yields (up to 73.6 % for FMesB-Cz as a neat film). The results suggest that the highly twisted donor groups suppress charge transfer, but the intrinsic photophysical properties of the 9-borafluorene systems remain. The new compounds showed enhanced stability towards the atmosphere, and exhibited excellent thermal stability, revealing their potential for application in materials science. Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices were fabricated with two of the highly emissive compounds, and they exhibited strong yellow-greenish electroluminescence, with a maximum luminance intensity of >22 000 cd m\(^{-2}\).

T1 - 2- and 2,7-substituted para-N-methylpyridinium pyrenes: syntheses, molecular and electronic structures, photophysical, electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical properties and binding to double-stranded (ds) DNA JF - Chemistry - A European Journal N2 - Two N-methylpyridinium compounds and analogous N-protonated salts of 2- and 2,7-substituted 4-pyridyl-pyrene compounds were synthesised and their crystal structures, photophysical properties both in solution and in the solid state, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties were studied. Upon methylation or protonation, the emission maxima are significantly bathochromically shifted compared to the neutral compounds, although the absorption maxima remain almost unchanged. As a result, the cationic compounds show very large apparent Stokes shifts of up to 7200 cm\(^{-1}\). The N-methylpyridinium compounds have a single reduction at ca. −1.5 V vs. Fc/Fc\(^+\) in MeCN. While the reduction process was reversible for the 2,7-disubstituted compound, it was irreversible for the mono-substituted one. Experimental findings are complemented by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Furthermore, the N-methylpyridinium compounds show strong interactions with calf thymus (ct)-DNA, presumably by intercalation, which paves the way for further applications of these multi-functional compounds as potential DNA-bioactive agents.

T1 - Copper-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of highly fluorinated aryl boronate esters with aryl iodides and bromides and fluoroarene-arene π-stacking interactions in the products JF - ChemCatChem N2 - A combination of copper iodide and phenanthroline as the ligand is an efficient catalyst for Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling of highly fluorinated boronate esters (aryl−Bpin) with aryl iodides and bromides to generate fluorinated biaryls in good to excellent yields. This method represents a nice alternative to traditional cross‐coupling methods which require palladium catalysts and stoichiometric amounts of silver oxide. We note that π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions dominate the molecular packing in the partly fluorinated biaryl crystals investigated herein. They are present either between the arene and perfluoroarene, or solely between arenes or perfluoroarenes, respectively.

Therefore, the present contribution offers context-based applications of UV/Vis spectroscopy for analytics of food colorings with which learners can improve their skills regarding this method. The spectroscopic determination of food colorings seems to be a promising approach due to the long tradition and omnipresence of dyes in supermarket products. The therefor-required spectral data for commonly used dyes are provided for educational usage. Qualitative and quantitative analytics of food colorings in four different lemonades and chocolate beans have been used to introduce learners to important analytical techniques like sample preparation or elimination of confounding factors. These analytics also display the limitations of the method in the visible range of light in the case of tartrazine and curcumin. By applying Lambert-Beer-Bouguer’s Law in different variations, typical calculations of concentrations can be studied in quantitative analyses. The studied food samples demonstrate the different usage of food colorings depending on the country of sale. Finally, a 3D-printable low-cost photometer suitable for the discussed quantitative analytics in educational contexts is presented.

Furthermore, the reaction of 2 a ,b‐OMe in diethyl ether with a tenfold excess of hydrochloric acid led to the isolation of the isoindol‐2‐ium chlorides 1 a ,b‐Cl in high yields. The thermally generated cAArC reacts with sulfur to form the thioamide 3 a . Without any additional trapping reagent, in situ generation of 1,1‐diphenylisoidolin‐3‐ylidenes does not lead to the isolation of these compounds, but to the reaction products of the insertion of the carbene carbon atom into an ortho C−H bond of a phenyl substituent, followed by ring‐expansion reaction; namely, anthracene derivatives 9‐N(H)aryl‐10‐Ph‐C14H8 4 a ,b (a : Dipp; b : Mes). These compounds are conveniently synthesized by deprotonation of the isoindol‐2‐ium chlorides with sodium acetate in high yields. Deprotonation of 1 a‐Cl with copper(I) acetate at low temperatures afforded a mixture of 4 a and the corresponding cAArC copper(I) chloride 5 a , and allowed the isolation and structural characterization of the first example of a cAArC copper complex of general formula [(cAArC)CuCl].

A1 - Piantanida, Ivo T1 - A Quadrupolar Bis-Triarylborane Chromophore as a Fluorimetric and Chirooptic Probe for Simultaneous and Selective Sensing of DNA, RNA and Proteins JF - Chemistry - A European Journal N2 - A water‐soluble tetracationic quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane chromophore showed strong binding to ds‐DNA, ds‐RNA, ss‐RNA, as well as to the naturally most abundant protein, BSA. The novel dye can distinguish between DNA/RNA and BSA by fluorescence emission separated by Δv =3600 cm\(^{-1}\), allowing for the simultaneous quantification of DNA/RNA and protein (BSA) in a mixture. The applicability of such fluorimetric differentiation in vitro was demonstrated, strongly supporting a protein‐like target as a dominant binding site of 1 in cells. Moreover, our dye also bound strongly to ss‐RNA, with the unusual rod‐like structure of the dye, decorated by four positive charges at its termini and having a hydrophobic core, acting as a spindle for wrapping A, C and U ss‐RNAs, but not poly G, the latter preserving its secondary structure. To the best of our knowledge, such unmatched, multifaceted binding activity of a small molecule toward DNA, RNA, and proteins and the selectivity of its fluorimetric and chirooptic response makes the quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane a novel chromophore/fluorophore moiety for biochemical applications.
