TY - THES A1 - Crumbach, Merian T1 - Modifying the Optoelectronic Properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Linear Oligomers by Doping with Boron and Further Heteroatoms T1 - Modifizierung der Optoelektronischen Eigenschaften von Polyzyklischen Aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen und Linearen Oligomeren durch Dotierung mit Bor und weiteren Heteroatomen N2 - Der Austausch ausgewählter CC-Einheiten durch ihre isoelektronischen und isosteren BN-Einheiten in π-konjugierten organischen Verbindungen (BN/CC-Isosterie), insbesondere in polyzyklischen aromatischen Kohlenwasserstoffen (PAKs), hat sich als erfolgreiche Strategie zur Herstellung neuartiger organisch-anorganischer Hybridmaterialien erwiesen, die strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten mit ihren reinen Kohlenstoff Analoga aufweisen, aber in vielen Fällen mit veränderten faszinierenden Eigenschaften und Funktionen. In den ersten beiden Kapiteln werden die Synthese und Eigenschaften von neuartigen BNB-dotierten Phenalenylen, Dithienoazadiborepinen und Dithienooxadiborepinen vorgestellt. Die optoelektronischen Eigenschaften dieser neuen Bauelemente können durch Variation der eingebauten Ar- (Mes, Tip, FMes) und R-Gruppen (H, Me, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) effektiv eingestellt werden. Theoretische Untersuchungen, einschließlich NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift) Scans und AICD (Anisotropy of the Induced Current Density)-Berechnungen, wurden durchgeführt und geben Einblick in ihren aromatischen oder antiaromatischen Charakter. Der Einbau von BP-Einheiten, welche mit BN und CC valenz-isoelektronisch sind, in ungesättigte organische Verbindungen ist dagegen bisher kaum untersucht worden, obwohl das Potenzial der resultierenden BCP-Hybridmaterialien für elektronische Anwendungen erst kürzlich erkannt wurde. Konjugierte Hauptkettenpolymere mit BP-Fragmenten im Rückgrat sind bisher unbekannt. Die ersten molekularen Modellverbindungen für ein BP-Analogon des konjugierten Polymers Poly(p-phenylen-vinylen) (PPV) werden in Kapitel 3 vorgestellt. Theoretische Untersuchungen ergaben, dass die Mes*-Gruppe das Phosphor-zentrum vollständig planarisiert, wodurch der B=P-Doppelbindungscharakter verstärkt und eine Konjugation über die BP-Einheit ermöglicht wird. Es wurden verschiedene synthetische Ansätze zu diesen molekularen Modellverbindungen untersucht und eine erfolgreiche synthetische Strategie gefunden. N2 - The substitution of selected CC units by their isoelectronic and isosteric BN units in π−conjugated organic compounds (BN/CC isosterism), especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has emerged as a viable strategy to produce novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials with structural similarities to their all-carbon congeners, but in many cases with intriguing properties and functions. In the first two chapters the synthesis and properties of novel BNB-doped phenalenyls, dithienoazadiborepins and dithienooxadiborepins are presented. The optoelectronic properties of these new building blocks can be effectively tuned by variation of the incorporated Ar (Mes, Tip, FMes) and R groups (H, Me, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph). Theoretical investigations, including NICS (Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift) scans and AICD (Anisotropy of the Induced Current Density) calculations, have been performed which provide insight into their aromatic or antiaromatic character, respectively. The incorporation of BP units, on the other hand, which are valence isoelectronic with BN and CC, into unsaturated organic compounds, has been scarcely studied, though the potential of the resulting BCP hybrid materials for electronic applications has been recognized quite recently. Main chain conjugated polymers featuring BP fragments in the backbone are unknown so far. The first molecular model compounds for a BP analogue of the conjugated polymer poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) are presented in chapter 3. Theoretical investigations revealed that the Mes* group to fully planarizes the phosphorus center, increasing the B=P double bond character and enabling conjugation over the BP unit. Different synthetic approaches to the molecular model compounds have been investigated and a viable synthetic strategy was found.

The highly conserved interaction between CD1d:α-Galactosylceramide (αGC) complexes and the iNKT TCR not only defines this population of αβ T cells but can also be used for its direct identification. Therefore, CD1d oligomers are a widely used tool for iNKT cell related investigations. To this end, the lipid chains of the antigen have to be inserted into the hydrophobic pockets of the CD1d binding cleft, often with help of surfactants. In this study, we investigated the influence of different surfactants (Triton X-100, Tween 20, Tyloxapol) on in vitro loading of CD1d molecules derived from four different species (human, mouse, rat and cotton rat) with αGC and derivatives carrying modifications of the acyl-chain (DB01-1, PBS44) and a 6-acetamido-6-deoxy-addition at the galactosyl head group (PBS57). We also compared rat CD1d dimers with tetramers and staining of an iNKT TCR transductant was used as readout for loading efficacy. The results underlined the importance of CD1d loading efficacy for proper analysis of iNKT TCR binding and demonstrated the necessity to adjust loading conditions for each oligomer/glycolipid combination. The efficient usage of surfactants as a tool for CD1d loading was revealed to be species-specific and depending on the origin of the CD1d producing cells. Additional variation of surfactant-dependent loading efficacy between tested glycolipids was influenced by the acyl-chain length and the modification of the galactosyl head group with PBS57 showing the least dependence on surfactants and the lowest degree of species-dependent differences.
