Die dargestellten Materialien konnten als Core/Shell-Systeme mit einem nano- bzw. mikropartikelhaltigen Kern und einer lanthanidhaltigen Hülle charakterisiert werden und vereinen aufgrund ihres Kompositcharakters die spezifischen Eigenschaften der Einzelkomponenten wie Lumineszenz, Superparamagnetismus oder Reflexionseigen-schaften miteinander. Zur Synthese multifunktionaler, lumineszierender Materialien wurden zirconylbasierte, lumineszierende Nanopartikel mit Lanthanidchloriden und lanthanidhaltigen MOFs funktionalisiert. Die Kompositsysteme LnCl3@ZrO(FMN) (FMN = Flavinmononukleotid, Ln = Y, Sc, La, Eu, Tb, Ho) ermöglichen eine Modifizierung der Lumineszenzeigenschaf-ten der Materialien abhängig von der Reaktionstemperatur sowie dem verwendeten Selten-Erd-Ion. Durch Variation der Nanopartikelkomponente konnte mittels der Kom-posite LnCl3@ZrO(MFP) (MFP = Methylfluoresceinphosphat) ein zusätzlicher sol-vatochromer Effekt der Systeme eingeführt werden, während das Kompositmaterial YCl3@ZrO(RP) (RP = Resorufinphosphat) eine andere Chromatizität zugänglich macht. Durch Modifizierung von ZrO(FMN)- und ZrO(MFP)-Nanopartikeln mit 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]· 2DMF·2H2O (BDC2- = Benzol-1,4-dicarboxylat) wurden Kompositmaterialien dargestellt, die zwei Lumineszenzprozesse mit unterschiedlicher Chromatizität und unterschiedli-cher Anregbarkeit miteinander kombinieren und somit eine reversible Schaltbarkeit zwischen beiden Prozessen durch Variation der Anregungswellenlänge ermöglichen. Zur Synthese luminomagnetischer Materialien wurden superparamagnetische Fe3O4/SiO2-Mikropartikel mit einer Vielzahl lanthanidhaltiger MOFs, die sich hinsichtlich ihrer Lumineszenzeigenschaften und ihrer Stabilität gegenüber Luft und Wasser unterscheiden, modifiziert. Als MOFs wurden hierbei 2∞[Ln2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy (Bipy = 4,4‘-Bipyridin, Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Er), 3∞[Eu(Im)2], 3∞[Ba0.95Eu0.05(Im)2] (Im = Imidazolat) und 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]·2DMF·2H2O eingesetzt. Die Variation der zur Funktionalisierung verwendeten Komponente oder eine Kombination mehrerer MOFs ermöglicht eine Anpassung der Lumineszenz der Kompositmaterialien innerhalb des kompletten sichtbaren Spektralbereichs sowie im NIR-Bereich. Die dargestellten luminomagnetische Kompositmaterialien mit wasserempfindlichen MOFs können zur Detektion von Wasser in verschiedenen organischen Lösungsmitteln verwendet werden und stellen somit eine mobile und einfach anwendbare Alternative zur Karl-Fischer-Titration mit einer vergleichbaren Sensitivität dar. So eignen sich die Kompositsysteme 2∞[Eu2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 und 2∞[Eu2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy, 2∞[Tb2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 als optische turn-off-Sensoren, während das Kom-posit 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]·2DMF·2H2O,2∞[Tb2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 als ratiometrischer Sensor verwendet werden kann. Als Alternative zu sphärischen Partikeln wurden auch anisotrope, stäbchenförmige Fe3O4/SiO2-Mikropartikel mittels 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]·2DMF·2H2O modifiziert. Das resul-tierende Kompositmaterial vereint die isotropen Lumineszenzeigenschaften der MOF-Hülle mit der anisotropen Reflexion von sichtbarem Licht der. Durch die Wahl der Anregungswellenlänge und Richtung eines externen Magnetfelds wird eine stufenlose und reversible Schaltbarkeit zwischen isotropen und anisotropen Eigenschaften ermöglicht. Durch mechanochemische Umsetzung der MOF-Edukte [LnCl3(Py)4]·0.5Py (Ln = Eu, Ho) und 4,4‘-Bipyridin konnte eine Vielzahl von literaturbekannten lanthanidhaltigen Komplexen und Koordinationspolymeren mittels einer neuen und zeiteffizienten Syntheseroute dargestellt werden. Hierbei kann die Verknüpfungsdimension der resultierenden Produkte abhängig von verschiedenen Reaktionsparametern, die den Energieeintrags der Kugelmühle beeinflussen, gesteuert werden. N2 - The thesis at hand deals with the synthesis and characterization of 23 novel multi-functional composite materials that are based on lanthanide containing compounds as well as different nano- and microparticles. The synthesized compounds can be described as core/shell systems with a nanoparticle and microparticle containing core, respectively, and a lanthanide containing shell. Due to their composite character, the materials combine the specific properties of their single constituents such as luminescence, superparamagnetism or reflection properties. For the synthesis of multifunctional luminescent materials, zirconyl containing, lumines-cent nanoparticles were modified with lanthanide chlorides as well as lanthanide con-taining MOFs. The composite materials LnCl3@ZrO(FMN) (FMN = flavin mononucleo-tide, Ln = Y, Sc, La, Eu, Tb, Ho) enable a modification of the materials’ luminescence properties in dependence on the reaction temperature and the particular rare earth ion. Variation of the nanoparticle component leads on the one hand to formation of the sys-tem LnCl3@ZrO(MFP) (MFP = methylfluorescein phosphate), which exhibits a strong solvatochromic effect, and on the other hand to the composite YCl3@ZrO(RP) (RP = resorufin phosphate), which makes another chromaticity of the luminescence ac-cessible. The modification of ZrO(FMN) and ZrO(MFP) nanoparticles with 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]· 2DMF·2H2O (BDC2- = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) results in composite materials that combine two luminescence processes with a different chromaticity and a diverse excita-tion range. Therefore, a continuous and reversible switching between both processes can be executed by variation of the excitation wavelength. For the synthesis of luminomagnetic materials, superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2 micro-particles were modified with a variety of lanthanide containing MOFs that differ in terms of their luminescence properties and their water and air stability. For this purpose, the MOFs 2∞[Ln2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy (Bipy = 4,4’-Bipyridine, Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Er), 3∞[Eu(Im)2], 3∞[Ba0.95Eu0.05(Im)2] (Im- = imidazolate) and 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]·2DMF·2H2O were employed for microparticle functionalization. By variation of the selected MOF or a combination of two different compounds, the luminescence properties of the composite materials could be adjusted in the whole visible spectral region as well as in the NIR region. The synthesized luminomagnetic composite materials with water sensitive MOFs can be applied for the detection of water in various organic solvents. Therefore, such compo-sites can be used as alternative to the Karl-Fischer titration that is easy applicable, mo-bile and exhibits similar detection limits. The composite materials 2∞[Eu2Cl6(Bipy)3]· 2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 and 2∞[Eu2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy,2∞[Tb2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 can be deployed as optical turn-off sensors, while the composite system 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]· 2DMF·2H2O,2∞[Tb2Cl6(Bipy)3]·2Bipy@Fe3O4/SiO2 is suitable for a ratiometric determina-tion of the water content. As alternative to spherical particles, anisotropic rod-like Fe3O4/SiO2 microparticles were functionalized with 3∞[Eu2(BDC)3]·2DMF·2H2O. The resulting composite material com-bines the isotropic luminescence of the MOF shell with the anisotropic reflection of visible light of the microparticle component. A continuous and reversible switching between both optical properties is enabled by the variation of the excitation wavelength and the direction of an external magnetic field. The mechanochemical reaction of the MOF precursors [LnCl3(Py)4]·0.5Py (Ln = Eu, Ho) and 4,4’-bipyridine leads to a variety of lanthanide containing complexes and coordina-tion polymers that have already been reported in literature. Thus, a novel and time effi-cient synthesis route could be described for an alternative preparation of these com-pounds. The dimensionality of the resulting substances can be influenced in dependence on different reaction parameters that have an influence on the application of energy by the ball mill.

Especially in the gas phase, concentrations of threat substances can be very low (e.g. explosives) or have severe effects on health even at low concentrations (e.g. benzene) while it contains many potential interferents. Preconcentration, facilitated by active or passive sampling of air by an adsorbent, followed by thermal desorption, results in these substances being released in a smaller volume, effectively increasing their concentration. Traditionally, a wide range of adsorbents, such as active carbons or porous polymers, are used for preconcentration. However, many adsorbents either show chemical reactions due to active surfaces, serious water retention or high background emission due to thermal instability. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a hybrid substance class, composed inorganic and organic building blocks, being a special case of coordination polymers containing pores. They can be tailored for specific applications such as gas storage, separation, catalysis, sensors or drug delivery. This thesis is focused on investigating MOFs for their use in thermal preconcentration for airborne detection systems. A pre-screening method for MOF-adsorbate interactions was developed and applied, namely inverse gas chromatography (iGC). Using this pulse chromatographic method, the interaction of MOFs and molecules from the class of explosives and volatile organic compounds was studied at different temperatures and compared to thermal desorption results. In the first part, it is shown that archetype MOFs (HKUST-1, MIL-53 and Fe-BTC) outperformed the state-of-the-art polymeric adsorbent Tenax® TA in nitromethane preconcentration for a 1000 (later 1) ppm nitromethane source. For HKUST-1, a factor of more than 2000 per g of adsorbent was achieved, about 100 times higher than for Tenax. Thereby, a nitromethane concentration of 1 ppb could be increased to 2 ppm. High enrichment is addressed to the specific interaction of the nitro group as by iGC, which was determined by comparing nitromethane’s free enthalpy of adsorption with the respective saturated alkane. Also, HKUST-1 shows a similar mode of sorption (enthalpy-entropy compensation) for nitro and saturated alkanes. In the second part, benzene of 1 ppm of concentration was enriched with a similar setup, using 2nd generation MOFs, primarily UiO-66 and UiO-67, under dry and humid (50 %rH) conditions using constant sampling times. Not any MOF within the study did surpass the polymeric Tenax in benzene preconcentration. This is most certainly due to low sampling times – while Tenax may be highly saturated after 600 s, MOFs are not. For regular UiO-66, four differently synthesized samples showed a strongly varying behavior for dry and humid enrichment which cannot be completely explained. iGC investigations with regular alkanes and BTEX compounds revealed that confinement factors and dispersive surface energy were different for all UiO-66 samples. Using physicochemical parameters from iGC, no unified hypothesis explaining all variances could be developed. Altogether, it was shown that MOFs can replace or add to state-of-the-art adsorbents for the enrichment of specific analytes with preconcentration being a universal sensitivity-boosting concept for detectors and sensors. Especially with iGC as a powerful screening tool, most suitable MOFs for the respective target analyte can be evaluated. iGC can be used for determining “single point” retention volumes, which translate into partition coefficients for a specific MOF × analyte × temperature combination. N2 - Empfindlichkeit und Selektivität bleiben die zentralen technischen Anforderungen an analytische Geräte, Detektoren und Sensoren. Speziell in der Gasphase können die Konzentrationen von Gefahrstoffen sehr niedrig sein (z. B. Explosivstoffe) oder bereits bei niedrigen Konzentrationen schädigende Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit aufweisen (z. B. Benzol) während sie viele potenzielle Interferenzien enthält. Präkonzentration, die durch aktives oder passives Sampling von Luft durch ein Adsorbens, gefolgt von einer Thermodesorption realisiert wird, setzt diese Substanzen effektiv in einem kleineren Volumen frei, was zu einer Erhöhung der Konzentration führt. Üblicherweise wird hierfür eine breite Auswahl an Adsorbentien wie Aktivkohlen oder poröse Polymere verwendet. Jedoch weisen viele Adsorbentien entweder chemische Reaktionen wegen aktiver Oberflächen, starke Wasserretention oder hohe Hintergrundemission wegen thermischer Instabilität auf. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) sind eine hybride Substanzklasse, ein Spezialfall der porösen Koordinationspolymere, die aus anorganischen und organischen Baugruppen aufgebaut sind. Sie können für spezifische Anwendungen wie Gasspeicherung, Trennung, Katalyse, Sensorik oder Wirkstofftransport maßgeschneidert werden. Diese Arbeit befasst sich hauptsächlich mit der Untersuchung von MOFs bei der thermischen Anreicherung für luftgetragene Detektionssysteme. Eine Methode zur schnellen Untersuchung von MOF-Analyt Interaktionen wurde entwickelt und angewendet, die inverse Gaschromatographie (iGC). Mit dieser pulschromatographischen Methode wurde die Interaktion von MOFs und Molekülen aus der Klasse der Explosivstoffe sowie Klasse der flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOCs) in der Gasphase bei verschiedenen Temperaturen untersucht und mit Thermodesorptionsmessungen verglichen. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit würde gezeigt das Modell-MOFs (HKUST-1, MIL-53 und Fe-BTC) den polymeren Standard Tenax® TA beim Anreichern von Nitromethan an einer 1000 (später 1) ppm Nitromethan Quelle übertrafen. Im Fall von HKUST-1 konnte ein Faktor von 2000 pro Gramm erreicht werden, etwa 100-fach höher als für Tenax. Auf diese Weise könnte eine Nitromethan Konzentration von 1 ppb auf 2 ppm erhöht werden. Diese hohen Anreicherungsfaktoren entstammen vermutlich der hohen spezifischen Wechselwirkung der Nitrogruppe mit den MOFs. Diese wurden durch iGC beim Vergleich von Nitromethans freier Adsorptionsenthalpie mit dem entsprechenden gesättigten Alkan ermittelt. HKUST-1 weist auch einen ähnlichen Adsorptionsmodus (Enthalpie-Entropie Kompensation) für Nitro- und gesättigte Alkane auf. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde die Anreicherung von 1 ppm Benzol, mit einem ähnlichen Aufbau und anderen MOFs, hauptsächlich UiO-66 und UiO-67, unter trockenen und feuchten (50 %rF) Bedingungen bei konstanten Samplingzeiten, untersucht. Hierbei konnte kein MOF das polymere Tenax beim Anreichern von Benzol übertreffen. Dies liegt vermutlich an den niedrigen Samplingzeiten – während Tenax nach 600 s bereits stark gesättigt ist, gilt dies nicht für MOFs. Im Fall von UiO-66 zeigten vier Proben unterschiedlicher Herkunft ein stark unterschiedliches Verhalten bei trockener und feuchter Anreicherung welches nicht vollständig erklärt werden kann. iGC Untersuchungen mit gesättigten Alkanen und BTEX-Verbindungen konnten aufzeigen, dass räumliche Beschränktheitsfaktoren und dispersive Oberflächenenergien für alle vier Proben unterschiedlich waren. Mit physikochemischen Parametern aus iGC-Messungen konnte jedoch keine einheitliche Hypothese zum Unterscheiden der Proben entwickelt werden. Insgesamt konnte gezeigt werden, dass MOFs bestehende Adsorbens-Standards zum Anreichern von bestimmten Analyten ersetzen oder erweitern können, wobei Präkonzentration ein Konzept ist, welches universell die Empfindlichkeit eines Detektors oder Sensors steigern kann. Insbesondere mit iGC als mächtiges Werkzeug zur Vorselektion können passende MOFs für die entsprechenden Zielanalyten evaluiert werden. Ebenso kann iGC auch zur Bestimmung von Einzelpunkt Retentionsvolumen, welche Verteilungskoeffizienten für eine bestimmte MOF × Analyt × Temperatur Kombination entsprechen, genutzt werden.

Within the present work, this class of dyes found applications in live‐cell imaging. Therefore, the dyes need to be water‐soluble and water‐stable in diluted aqueous solutions, which was examined in Chapter 2. Furthermore, the influence of the pi‐bridge on absorption and emission maxima, fluorescence quantum yields and especially the two-photon absorption properties of the chromophores was investigated in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, a different strategy for the design of efficient two‐photon excited fluorescence imaging dyes was explored using dipoles (D–A) and octupoles (DA3). Finding the optimum balance between water‐stability and pi‐conjugation and, therefore, red‐shifted absorption and emission and high fluorescence quantum yields, was investigated in Chapter 5 N2 - Effiziente quadrupole Farbstoffe (A–pi–A) mit Triarylboraneinheiten als Akzeptoren wurden innerhalb der letzten Jahre von der Arbeitsgruppe Marder bezüglich ihrer nicht‐linearen optischen Eigenschaften und Zweiphotonenabsorptionsfähigkeiten untersucht.

Hierzu müssen die Farbstoffe wasserlöslich und in verdünnten wässrigen Lösungen stabil sein. Dies wurde in Kapitel 2 untersucht. Außerdem wurde der Einfluss der pi‐Brücke auf das Absorptions‐ und Emissionsmaximum, die Fluoreszenzquantenausbeute und vor allem die Zweiphotonenabsorptionsfähigkeit untersucht (Kapitel 3).

T1 - Antimicrobial activity of carbon monoxide-releasing molecule [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br versus multidrug-resistant isolates of Avian Pathogenic \(Escherichia\) \(coli\) and its synergy with colistin JF - PLoS ONE N2 - Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global concern in human and veterinary medicine, with an ever-increasing void in the arsenal of clinicians. Novel classes of compounds including carbon monoxoide-releasing molecules (CORMs), for example the light-activated metal complex [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br, could be used as alternatives/to supplement traditional antibacterials. Avian pathogenic \(Escherichia\) \(coli\) (APEC) represent a large reservoir of antibiotic resistance and can cause serious clinical disease in poultry, with potential as zoonotic pathogens, due to shared serotypes and virulence factors with human pathogenic \(E.\) \(coli\). The \(in\) \(vitro\) activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br against multidrug-resistant APECs was assessed via broth microtitre dilution assays and synergy testing with colistin performed using checkerboard and time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) antibacterial activity of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br alone and in combination with colistin was determined using the \(Galleria\) \(mellonella\) wax moth larvae model. Animals were monitored for life/death, melanisation and bacterial numbers enumerated from larval haemolymph. \(In\) \(vitro\) testing produced relatively high [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1024 mg/L. However, its activity was significantly increased with the addition of colistin, bringing MICs down to \(\geq\)32 mg/L. This synergy was confirmed in time-kill assays. \(In\) \(vivo\) assays showed that the combination of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br with colistin produced superior bacterial killing and significantly increased larval survival. In both \(in\) \(vitro\) and \(in\) \(vivo\) assays light activation was not required for antibacterial activity. This data supports further evaluation of [Mn(CO)\(_3\)(tpa-\(\kappa^{3}N\))]Br as a potential agent for treatment of systemic infections in humans and animals, when used with permeabilising agents such as colistin.

T1 - Recent developments in and perspectives on three-coordinate boron materials: a bright future JF - Chemical Science N2 - The empty p\(_z\)-orbital of a three-coordinate organoboron compound leads to its electron-deficient properties, which make it an excellent π-acceptor in conjugated organic chromophores. The empty p-orbital in such Lewis acids can be attacked by nucleophiles, so bulky groups are often employed to provide air-stable materials. However, many of these can still bind fluoride and cyanide anions leading to applications as anion-selective sensors. One electron reduction generates radical anions. The π-acceptor strength can be easily tuned by varying the organic substituents. Many of these compounds show strong two-photon absorption (TPA) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) behaviour, which can be applied for e.g. biological imaging. Furthermore, these chromophores can be used as emitters and electron transporters in OLEDs, and examples have recently been found to exhibit efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The three-coordinate organoboron unit can also be incorporated into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Such boron-doped compounds exhibit very interesting properties, distinct from their all-carbon analogues. Significant developments have been made in all of these areas in recent years and new applications are rapidly emerging for this class of boron compounds.

Komplexe mit diesem Liganden emittieren meistens Grün bis Orange, daher wurde ein Stickstoffatom im Rückgrat des Liganden durch Schwefel substituiert, um eine bathochrome Verschiebung zu bewirken. Zur Untersuchung des Einflusses der Donorstärke, Sterik und Komplexgeometrie auf das Emissionsverhalten wurden diverse Phosphane und ein NHC als Donorliganden verwendet. Die Emissionsmaxima der untersuchten Verbindungen liegen erwartungsgemäß im Orangen bis Tiefroten und es konnten für diesen Emissionsbereich gute Quantenausbeuten von bis zu 11 % erreicht werden. Die Anfälligkeit tetraedrischer Kupfer(I)-komplexe für Verzerrungen im angeregten Zustand und die damit einhergehende Erhöhung strahlungsloser Prozesse ließ sich durch den Einsatz sterisch anspruchsvoller Liganden unterdrücken. Um das Potenzial für die Verwendung in optoelektronischen Bauteilen zu ergründen, wurden umfangreiche Stabilitätstests durchgeführt, die die enorme thermische Belastbarkeit im Festkörper sowie langfristige Stabilität in verdünnter Lösung einiger Verbindungen bestätigten. Ferner wurden in Kooperation mit der Gruppe um Prof. Holger Braunschweig photophysikalische Studien an zwei dinuklearen und einem trinuklearen Kupfer(I)-diborinkomplex durchgeführt, die im Rahmen der Promotionen von Dr. Jan Mies und Dr. Theresa Dellermann synthetisiert wurden. Die Verbindungen weisen in Festkörper und Lösung tiefrote Phosphoreszenz auf. Die Effizienz des trinuklearen Komplexes (φ = 0.58 im Festkörper) ist deutlich höher als die der beiden dinuklearen Verbindungen (φ < 0.03). Die Kupfer-Diborin-Bindung besitzt einen signifikanten kovalenten Anteil. Die Übergangsmetallatome haben somit einen starken Einfluss auf die strahlenden Übergänge, was zum Auftreten von Phosphoreszenz führt. Für effiziente Emission ist eine lineare Anordnung zweier Kupferfragmente um das Diborin notwendig, was im Fall des trinuklearen Komplexes stets gewährleistet ist, für die dinuklearen Komplexe jedoch nur in Lösung zu beobachten ist. Durch die Studien wurde einerseits das komplexe Emissionsverhalten dieser Komplexe aufgeklärt und andererseits die Relevanz dieser neuen Verbindungsklasse für niederenergetische Emittermaterialien gezeigt. Zusätzlich wurden Vorarbeiten zur Untersuchung kooperativer Effekte in dinuklearen Kupfer(I)-verbindungen unter Ausschluss schwer zu erhaltender cuprophiler Wechselwirkungen durchgeführt. Es sollten mono- und dinukleare Kupfer(I)-komplexe mit Bisbenzimidazol und Benzimidazolpyrimidin als verbrückenden Chromophorliganden synthetisiert und photophysikalisch untersucht werden, um eine eventuelle Erhöhung der Effizienz der dinuklearen Komplexe gegenüber ihren mononuklearen Analoga zu quantifizieren. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit gelang es, einen zuverlässigen Syntheseweg für die im Rückgrat alkylierten verbrückenden Liganden zu etablieren. Ferner wurden erste Versuche zur Herstellung kationischer und neutraler mononuklearer Komplexe durchgeführt. Außerdem wurde die mechanochrome Lumineszenz eines aus Vorarbeiten bekannten dinuklearen Kupferkomplexes untersucht und Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen hergestellt. Hierzu wurden Komplexsalze mit den Anionen PF6- und BF4- hergestellt und mittels zahlreicher Spektroskopiemethoden analysiert, um umfangreiche Informationen zu den Eigenschaften im Grund- und angeregten Zustand zu sammeln. Durch Schwingungsspektroskopie wurde nachgewiesen, dass die Phasenänderung zu keiner veränderten Konstitution der Verbindung im Grundzustand führt. Durch 1H-19F-HOESY- sowie 19F-Festkörper-NMR-Experimente wurde festgestellt, dass sowohl in Lösung wie auch im Festkörper Kation und Anion gepaart vorliegen und miteinander wechselwirken. Da die BF4- und PF6-Komplexe in Lösung ein sehr ähnliches Emissionsverhalten zum amorphen Feststoff aufweisen, wurde davon ausgegangen, dass die für die Emission verantwortlichen Strukturen in beiden Medien vergleichbar sind. Zusätzlich gelang es, mittels ESR-Spektroskopie nachzuweisen, dass im Grundzustand keine ausreichende Annäherung der beiden Kupferatome stattfindet, um dipolare Wechselwirkungen zu erzeugen. Mithilfe quantenchemischer Rechnungen wurde die mechanochrome Lumineszenz nicht auf das Auftreten von Cuprophilie zurückgeführt, sondern auf die Ausbildung einer Cu-F-Bindung im angeregten Zustand, was ein völlig neuer Mechanismus für mechanochrome Lumineszenz bei Kupfer(I)-komplexen ist. In weiterführenden photophysikalischen Studien wurde zudem gezeigt, dass die Emission auch Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Temperatur sowie Lösungsmitteldämpfen aufweist und es sich somit um eine multiresponsive Verbindungsklasse handelt. N2 - In the context of this work, luminescent copper(I) compounds were investigated in order to contribute to the investigation of low-energy emitters and mechanoresponsive phosphorescence materials by establishing structure-property relationships. In addition, preparatory work was carried out to investigate cooperative effects in dinuclear copper(I) complexes. In the field of low-energy emitters, tetrahedral copper compounds with chromophore ligands based on the basic motif 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-imdazole were investigated. Complexes with this ligand mostly emit green to orange, therefore a nitrogen atom in the backbone of the ligand was substituted by sulfur to cause a bathochromic shift. To investigate the influence of donor strength, sterics and complex geometry on emission behavior, various phosphanes and an NHC were used as donor ligands. As expected, the emission maxima of the investigated compounds lie in the orange to deep red range and good quantum yields for this emission range of up to 11 % could be achieved. The susceptibility of tetrahedral copper(I) complexes to distortions in the excited state and the associated increase in radiationless processes could be suppressed by the use of sterically demanding ligands. In order to determine the potential for use in optoelectronic devices, extensive stability tests were carried out which confirmed the enormous thermal stability in the solid state as well as long-term stability in diluted solution of some compounds. Furthermore, in cooperation with the group around Prof. Holger Braunschweig, photophysical studies on one trinuclear and two dinuclear copper(I) diboryne complexes were carried out, which were synthesized in the context of the doctorates of Dr. Jan Mies and Dr. Theresa Dellermann. The compounds show deep red phosphorescence in solid and solution. The efficiency of the trinuclear complex (φ = 0.58 in solid state) is significantly higher than that of the two dinuclear compounds (φ < 0.03). The copper diboryne bond has a significant covalent portion. The transition metal atoms thus have a strong influence on the radiative transitions, which leads to the occurrence of phosphorescence. For efficient emission, a linear arrangement of two copper fragments around the diboryne is necessary, which is always guaranteed in the case of the trinuclear complex, but can only be observed in solution for the dinuclear complexes. On the one hand, the complex emission behavior of these complexes was clarified by the studies and, on the other hand, the relevance of this new compound class for low-energy emitter materials was demonstrated. In addition, preparatory work was carried out to investigate cooperative effects in dinuclear copper(I) compounds, excluding cuprophilic interactions that are difficult to obtain. Mono- and dinuclear copper(I) complexes with bisbenzimidazole and benzimidazolpyrimidine as bridging chromophore ligands should be synthesized and photophysically investigated in order to quantify a possible increase in the efficiency of the dinuclear complexes compared to their mononuclear analogues. In the course of this work, it was possible to establish a reliable synthetic pathway for the alkylated bridging ligands. In addition, first experiments for the syntheses of cationic and neutral mononuclear complexes were carried out. In addition, the mechanochromic luminescence of a dinuclear copper complex known from preliminary work was investigated and structure-property relationships were established. Complex salts with the anions PF6- and BF4- were prepared and analyzed by means of numerous spectroscopic methods in order to collect comprehensive information on the properties in the ground and excited state. By vibrational spectroscopy it was proven that the phase change does not lead to a changed constitution of the compound in the ground state. Through 1H-19F-HOESY and 19F solid state NMR experiments, it was determined that cation and anion are paired and interact both in solution and in the solid state. Since the BF4 and PF6 complexes in solution exhibit very similar emission behavior to the amorphous solid, it was assumed that the structures responsible for the emission are comparable in both media. In addition, ESR spectroscopy was used to prove that in the ground state, the two copper atoms do not approach each other sufficiently to produce dipolar interactions. Using quantum chemical calculations, mechanochromic luminescence was not attributed to the occurrence of cuprophilicity, but to the formation of a Cu-F bond in the excited state, which is a completely new mechanism for mechanochromic luminescence in copper(I) complexes. Further photophysical studies have shown that the emission is also sensitive to temperature and solvent vapors, making it a multi-responsive compound class.

Most notably, the attractive idea of replacing the all-too-often rare and costly metals from catalysis has motivated efforts to develop main-group-element-mediated reactions. Main-group elements, however, lack the electronic flexibility of TM complexes that arises from combinations of empty and filled d orbitals and that seem ideally suited to bind and activate many substrates. In this review, we look at boron, an element that despite its nonmetal nature, low atomic weight, and relative redox staticity has achieved great milestones in terms of TM-like reactivity. We show how in interelement cooperative systems, diboron molecules, and hypovalent complexes the fifth element can acquire a truly metallomimetic character. As we discuss, this character is powerfully demonstrated by the reactivity of boron-based molecules with H2, CO, alkynes, alkenes and even with N2.

This compound was reduced with KC8 to its corresponding diborene, with the benzylphosphine forming a five-membered chelate. The diborene reacts with butadiene, 2-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene and isoprene to form 4,5-diboracyclohexenes, which interconvert between their 1,1- (geminal) and 1,2- (vicinal) chelated isomers. The 1,1-chelated diborene undergoes a halide-catalysed isomerisation into its thermodynamically favoured 1,2-isomer, which undergoes Diels-Alder reactions more slowly than the kinetic product.

The combination of exceptionally potent π-donor (diborene) and π- acceptor (diarylboryl) groups, both based on trigonal boron, leads to very small HOMO-LUMO gaps, resulting in strong absorption in the near-IR region with maxima in THF at 840 and 1092 nm, respectively, and very high extinction coefficients of ca. 120,000 M-1cm-1.
