  abstract  = {Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der st{\"o}rungstheoretischen Berechnung von zweidimensionalen Photonen-Echo-Spektren f{\"u}r das elektronische und vibronische Modell eines Homo- und Hetero-Dimers sowie f{\"u}r ein vibronisches Modell eines Monomers unter dem Einfluss einer System-Bad-Wechselwirkung. Bei der Analyse der Dimerspektren steht neben der Orientierungsmittelung der Polarisation dritter Ordnung der Unterschied zwischen elektronischen und vibronischen Spektren sowie der Vergleich der Spektren von Homo- und Hetero-Dimeren im Zentrum des Interesses. Bei der Analyse der Monomer-Spektren steht die Behandlung einer dissipativen Dynamik bzw. des vibrational-coolings innerhalb eines stochastischen Ansatzes im Vordergrund. Der erste Teil dieser Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die st{\"o}rungstheoretische Berechnung der Polarisation dritter Ordnung in Dimeren. Dabei werden alle Aspekte und Ergebnisse f{\"u}r verschiedene Geometrien der {\"U}bergangsdipolmomente analysiert und diskutiert. Die Berechnungen ber{\"u}cksichtigen dabei auch die zuf{\"a}llige Anordnung der Molek{\"u}le in der Probe. Die Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen den 2D-Spektren und den Eigenschaften der Monomereinheiten, die Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Intensit{\"a}ten mancher Peaks von der zeitlichen Abfolge der Pulse sowie der Einfluss der elektronischen Kopplung und verschiedener {\"U}bergangsdipolmomente erm{\"o}glichen ein grundlegendes Verst{\"a}ndnis der elektronischen Photonen-Echo-Spektren. Im elektronischen Dimer wird der Hetero-Dimer-Charakter durch verschiedene Monomeranregungsenergien sowie unterschiedliche {\"U}bergangsdipolmomente der Monomereinheiten bestimmt. Der Einfluss dieser Gr{\"o}ßen auf die Photonen-Echo-Spektren kann durch die Kombination einer detaillierten analytischen Betrachtung und numerischen Rechnungen anschaulich nachvollzogen werden. In der vibronischen Betrachtungsweise zeigt sich, dass die Spektren deutlich an Komplexit{\"a}t gewinnen. Durch die Vibrationsfreiheitsgrade vervielfachen sich die m{\"o}glichen {\"U}berg{\"a}nge im System und damit die m{\"o}glichen Peakpositionen im Spektrum. Jeder Peak spaltet in eine Vibrationssubstruktur auf, die je nach ihrer energetischen Position mit anderen {\"u}berlagern kann. Der Vergleich zwischen Homo- und Hetero-Dimer-Spektren wird durch die Wahl verschiedener Vibrationsfrequenzen und unterschiedlicher Gleichgewichtsabst{\"a}nde entlang der Vibrationskoordinaten erweitert. Die Berechnung des Orientierungsmittels erfolgt mit zwei verschiedenen Ans{\"a}tzen. Zum einen wird das Mittel durch den numerischen sampling-Ansatz berechnet. Dabei werden Azimutal- und Polarwinkel in kleinen Winkelinkrementen abgetastet und f{\"u}r jede Kombination ein 2D-Spektrum berechnet. Die Einzelspektren werden anschließend gemittelt. Diese Methode erweist sich im Dimer als sehr effektiv. Zum anderen erlaubt die analytische Auswertung der Polarisation dritter Ordnung, das gemittelte Spektrum direkt in einer einzelnen Rechnung durch winkelgemittelte Gewichtungsfaktoren zu bestimmen. Bei der Berechnung der elektronischen 2D-Spektren ist diese Methode sehr leistungsf{\"a}hig, da alle Ausdr{\"u}cke analytisch bekannt sind. F{\"u}r vibronische Systeme ist dieser Ansatz ebenfalls sehr leistungsstark, ben{\"o}tigt aber eine einmalige aufwendige Analyse vor der Berechnung. Trotz der deutlich erh{\"o}hten Anzahl an Zustandsvektoren, die propagiert werden m{\"u}ssen, ist diese Methode circa zweimal schneller als die direkte Mittelung mit der sampling-Methode. Im zweiten Teil konzentriert sich die Arbeit auf die Beschreibung eines Monomers, das sich in einer dissipativen Umgebung befindet. Dabei wird auf die L{\"o}sung einer stochastischen Schr{\"o}dingergleichung zur{\"u}ckgegriffen. Speziell wird die sogenannte quantum-state-diffusion-Methode benutzt. Dabei werden nicht nur die Erwartungswerte f{\"u}r die Energie und den Ort, sondern auch die Polarisation dritter Ordnung - eine phasensensitive Gr{\"o}ße - bestimmt. In der theoretischen Fragestellung wird dabei, ausgehend von der von-Neumann Gleichung, die Zeitentwicklung der reduzierten Dichtematrix durch die Integration einer stochastischen zeitabh{\"a}ngigen Schr{\"o}dingergleichung reproduziert. In Rechnungen koppelt die Stochastik {\"u}ber die Erwartungswerte von Ort und Impuls die verschiedenen st{\"o}rungstheoretischen Korrekturen der Wellenfunktion miteinander. Die Spektren, die aus den numerischen Simulationen erhalten werden, spiegeln das dissipative Verhalten des Systems detailliert wider. Eine Analyse der Erwartungswerte von Ort und Energie zeigt, dass sich die einzelnen elektronischen Zust{\"a}nde wie ged{\"a}mpfte harmonische Oszillatoren verhalten und jeweils einen exponentiellen Zerfall abh{\"a}ngig von der Dissipationskonstante zeigen. Dieser Teil der Arbeit erweitert vorausgehende Untersuchungen, bei denen ein vereinfachter Ansatz zu Einsatz kam, der die korrelierte Stochastik nicht ber{\"u}cksichtigte.},

  abstract  = {Besides their widespread use in coordination chemistry, 2,2'-bipyridines are known for their ability to undergo cis-trans conformational changes in response to metal ions and acids, which has been primarily investigated at the molecular level. However, the exploitation of such conformational switching in self-assembly has remained unexplored. In this work, the use of 2,2'-bipyridines as acid-responsive conformational switches to tune supramolecular polymerization processes has been demonstrated. To achieve this goal, we have designed a bipyridine-based linear bolaamphiphile, 1, that forms ordered supramolecular polymers in aqueous media through cooperative aromatic and hydrophobic interactions. Interestingly, addition of acid (TFA) induces the monoprotonation of the 2,2'-bipyridine moiety, leading to a switch in the molecular conformation from a linear (trans) to a V-shaped (cis) state. This increase in molecular distortion along with electrostatic repulsions of the positively charged bipyridine-H\(^{+}\) units attenuate the aggregation tendency and induce a transformation from long fibers to shorter thinner fibers. Our findings may contribute to opening up new directions in molecular switches and stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials.},

  abstract  = {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.},

The performance of such molecules was shown to significantly increase with increasing number of fused benzene rings. Bulk quantities, however, can only be obtained reliably for acenes up to heptacene. Theoretically, (oligo)acenes and (poly)acenes are predicted to have open-shell singlet biradical and polyradical ground states, respectively, for which experimental evidence is still scarce. We have now been able to dramatically lower the HOMO-LUMO gap of acenes without the necessity of unfavorable elongation of their conjugated π system, by incorporating two boron atoms into the anthracene skeleton. Stabilizing the boron centers with cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes gives neutral 9,10-diboraanthracenes, which are shown to feature disjointed, open-shell singlet biradical ground states.},

  abstract  = {Electrophilic (het)arenes can undergo reactions with nucleophiles yielding π- or Meisenheimer (σ-) complexes or the products of the S\(_N\)Ar addition/elimination reactions. Such building blocks have only rarely been employed for the design of enzyme inhibitors. Herein, we demonstrate the combination of a peptidic recognition sequence with such electrophilic (het)arenes to generate highly active inhibitors of disease-relevant proteases. We further elucidate an unexpected mode of action for the trypanosomal protease rhodesain using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, enzyme kinetics and various types of simulations. After hydrolysis of an ester function in the recognition sequence of a weakly active prodrug inhibitor, the liberated carboxylic acid represents a highly potent inhibitor of rhodesain (K\(_i\) = 4.0 nM). The simulations indicate that, after the cleavage of the ester, the carboxylic acid leaves the active site and re-binds to the enzyme in an orientation that allows the formation of a very stable π-complex between the catalytic dyad (Cys-25/His-162) of rhodesain and the electrophilic aromatic moiety. The reversible inhibition mode results because the S\(_N\)Ar reaction, which is found in an alkaline solvent containing a low molecular weight thiol, is hindered within the enzyme due to the presence of the positively charged imidazolium ring of His-162. Comparisons between measured and calculated NMR shifts support this interpretation},

  abstract  = {Within this work, an additive and a subtractive QM/MM interface were implemented into CAST. The interactions between QM and MM system are described via electrostatic embedding. Link atoms are used to saturate dangling bonds originating from the separation of QM and MM system. Available energy evaluation methods to be combined include force fields (OPLSAA and AMBER), semi-empirical programs (Mopac and DFTB+), and quantum-chemical methods (from Gaussian, Orca, and Psi4). Both the additive and the subtractive interface can deal with periodic boundary conditions. The subtractive scheme was extended to enable QM/QM, three-layer, and multi-center calculations. Another feature only available within the subtractive interface is the microiteration procedure for local optimizations. The novel QM/MM methods were applied to the investigation of the reaction path for the complex formation between rhodesain and K11777. Benchmark calculations show a very good agreement with results from Gaussian-ONIOM. When comparing the relative energies obtained with different options to a computation where the whole system was treated with the "QM method" DFTB3, the electrostatic embedding scheme with option "delM3" gives the best results. "delM3" means that atoms with up to three bonds distance to the QM region are ignored when creating the external charges. This is done in order to avoid a double counting of Coulomb interactions between QM and MM system. The embedding scheme for the inner system in a three-layer calculation, however, does not have a significant influence on the energies. The same is true for the choice of the coupling scheme: Whether the additive or the subtractive QM/MM interface is applied does not alter the results significantly. The choice of the QM region, though, proved to be an important factor. As can be seen from the comparison of two QM systems of different size, bigger is not always better here. Instead, one has to make sure not to separate important (polar) interactions by the QM/MM border. After this benchmark study with singlepoint calculations, the various possibilities of CAST were used to approximate the solution of a remaining problem: The predicted reaction energy for the formation of the rhodesain-K11777 complex differs significantly depending on the starting point of the reaction path. The reason for this is assumed to be an inadequate adjustment of the environment during the scans, which leads to a better stabilization of the starting structure in comparison to the final structure. The first approach to improve this adjustment was performing the relaxed scan with a bigger QM region instead of the minimal QM system used before. While the paths starting from the covalent complex do not change significantly, those starting from the non-covalent complex become more exothermic, leading to a higher similarity of the two paths. Nevertheless, the difference of the reaction energy is still around 15 kcal/mol, which is far from a perfect agreement. For this reason, Umbrella Samplings were run. Here, the adjustment of the environment is not done by local optimizations like in the scans, but by MD simulations. This has the advantage that the system can cross barriers and reach different local minima. The relative free energies obtained by Umbrella Samplings with suitable QM regions are nearly identical, independently of the starting point of the calculation. Thus, \(\Delta A\) evaluated by these computations can be assumed to reproduce the real energy change best. An MD simulation that was started from the transition state in order to mimic a "real-time" reaction indicates a very fast adjustment of the environment during the formation of the complex. This confirms that Umbrella Sampling is probably better suitable to describe the reaction path than a scan, where the environment can never move strong enough to leave the current local minimum.},

Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf der Charakterisierung der Exziton-Exziton-Annihilierung (EEA) mithilfe von zweidimensionaler optischer Spektroskopie f{\"u}nfter Ordnung. Dazu werden zwei verschiedene Modellsysteme implementiert: Das elektronische Homodimer und das elektronische Homotrimer-Modell, wobei Letzteres eine Erweiterung des Dimer-Modells darstellt. Die Kopplung des quantenmechanischen Systems an die Umgebung wird mithilfe des Quantum-Jump-Ansatzes umgesetzt. Besonderes Interesse kommt der Analyse des Signals f{\"u}nfter Ordnung in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Populationszeit T zu. Anhand des Dimer-Modells als kleinstm{\"o}gliches Aggregat lassen sich bereits gute Vorhersagen auch {\"u}ber das Verhalten gr{\"o}ßerer molekularer Aggregate treffen. Der Zerfall des oszillierenden Signals f{\"u}r lange Populationszeiten korreliert mit der EEA. Dies zeigt, dass die zweidimensionale optische Spektroskopie genutzt werden kann, um den Annihilierungsprozess zu charakterisieren. Innerhalb des Modells des Dimers wird weiterhin der Einfluss der Intraband-Relaxation untersucht. Zunehmende Intraband-Relaxation verhindert den Austausch zwischen den lokalen Zust{\"a}nden, der essentiell f{\"u}r den Annihilierungsprozess ist, und die EEA wird blockiert. Das elektronische Trimer-Modell erweitert das Dimer-Modell um eine Monomereinheit. Somit befinden sich die Exzitonen im Anschluss an die Anregung nicht mehr unvermeidlich nebeneinander. Es gibt somit eine Konfiguration, bei der sich die Exzitonen zun{\"a}chst zueinander bewegen m{\"u}ssen, bevor die Startbedingung des Annihilierungsprozesses gegeben ist. Dieser zus{\"a}tzliche Schritt wird auch Exzitonendiffusion genannt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit legen nahe, dass das erwartete Verhalten nur zu sehr kurzen Zeiten im Femtosekundenbereich auftritt und somit die Zeitskala der Exzitonendiffusion im Falle des Trimers nicht sichtbar wird. Es bedarf demnach eines gr{\"o}ßeren Modellsystems, bei dem sich der Effekt der zeitverz{\"o}gert eintretenden EEA deutlich in der Zerfallsdynamik manifestieren kann.},

  abstract  = {Coherent two-dimensional (2D) optical spectroscopy has revolutionized our ability to probe many types of couplings and ultrafast dynamics in complex quantum systems. The dynamics and function of any quantum system strongly depend on couplings to the environment. Thus, studying coherent interactions for different environments remains a topic of tremendous interest. Here we introduce coherent 2D electronic mass spectrometry that allows 2D measurements on effusive molecular beams and thus on quantum systems with minimum system-bath interaction and employ this to identify the major ionization pathway of 3d Rydberg states in NO2. Furthermore, we present 2D spectra of multiphoton ionization, disclosing distinct differences in the nonlinear response functions leading to the ionization products. We also realize the equivalent of spectrally resolved transient-absorption measurements without the necessity for acquiring weak absorption changes. Using time-of-flight detection introduces cations as an observable, enabling the 2D spectroscopic study on isolated systems of photophysical and photochemical reactions.},
