  abstract  = {Diese Dissertation besch{\"a}ftigt sich mit der Exzitonendynamik molekularer Aggregate, die nach Mehrphotonen-Anregung auf ultrakurzer Zeitskala stattfindet. 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.},

  abstract  = {Twisted boron-based biradicals featuring unsaturated C\(_2\)R\(_2\) (R=Et, Me) bridges and stabilization by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) were recently prepared. These species show remarkable geometrical and electronic differences with respect to their unbridged counterparts. Herein, a thorough computational investigation on the origin of their distinct electrostructural properties is performed. It is shown that steric effects are mostly responsible for the preference for twisted over planar structures. The ground-state multiplicity of the twisted structure is modulated by the σ framework of the bridge, and different R groups lead to distinct multiplicities. In line with the experimental data, a planar structure driven by delocalization effects is observed as global minimum for R=H. The synthetic elusiveness of C\(_2\)R\(_2\)-bridged systems featuring N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) was also investigated. These results could contribute to the engineering of novel main group biradicals.},

Nonetheless, reliable \(^{19}\)F chemical-shift predictions to deduce ligand-binding modes hold great potential for in silico drug design. Herein, we present a systematic QM/MM study to predict the \(^{19}\)F NMR chemical shifts of a covalently bound fluorinated inhibitor to the essential oxidoreductase tryparedoxin (Tpx) from African trypanosomes, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness. We include many protein-inhibitor conformations as well as monomeric and dimeric inhibitor-protein complexes, thus rendering it the largest computational study on chemical shifts of \(^{19}\)F nuclei in a biological context to date. Our predicted shifts agree well with those obtained experimentally and pave the way for future work in this area.},

For both molecules, accurate ionization energies are determined, 9.71±0.02 eV for IO and 9.79±0.02 eV for HOI. The strong spin-spin interaction in the 3Σ- ground state of IO+ leads to an energy splitting into the Ω=0 and Ω=±1 sublevels. Upon ionization, the I-O bond shortens significantly in both molecules; thus, a vibrational progression, assigned to the I-O stretch, is apparent in both spectra.},
