Golgi α-mannosidase II (GMII) is a glycoside hydrolase playing a crucial role in the N-glycosylation pathway. In various tumour cell lines, the distribution of N-linked sugars on the cell surface is modified and correlates with the progression of tumour metastasis. GMII therefore is a possible molecular target for anticancer agents. Here, we describe the identification of a non-competitive GMII inhibitor using computer-aided drug design methods including identification of a possible allosteric binding site, pharmacophore search and virtual screening.
Within this PhD thesis, starting from simple alkene precursors a series of novel boron-doped PAHs were successfully in a sequential one-pot synthetic approach, comprising a hydroboration/borylation cascade as the key step. By applying different postsynthetic reactions, the properties of these boron-doped PAHs were further adjusted, aiming for appealing packing motifs, strong electron-acceptors, and NIR-emitters. The thesis thereby focussed on the synthesis of tailor-made molecules, the investigation of their optical and electronic properties and the discussion on the influence of various factors, e.g. doping pattern, size, shape, and substituents, on these properties.
This thesis focusses on the synthesis of functional chiral molecules using carbo- or hetero[7]helicenes as a chiral element, combined with multiple helicenes, phthalocyanines, and 1,4-azaborine units. The objective is to achieve properties that surpass those of the parent compounds.
In the first project, an enantiopure, propeller-shaped multi-helicene polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon containing three (P)-[7]helicene units and three (M)-[5]helicene units was stereospecifically synthesized and can be obtained in gram quantities. Leveraging the configurational stability of [7]helicene and the configurational instability of [5]helicene, we exclusively obtained the most thermodynamically stable enantiomer out of 10 possible enantiomeric pairs. The effects of the multi-helicene structure on optical rotation, UVVis absorption, fluorescence, and electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy were investigated.1
Building on the success of the first project, the second project used the configurationally stable [7]helicene again. Zinc-[7]helicenocyanine (Zn-7HPc) was stereospecifically synthesized by directly conjugating [7]helicenes with a phthalocyanine (Pc) core. Zn-7HPc demonstrates a CD signal in the near-infrared region, indicating efficient chirality transfer from the helicenes to the Pc core. Zn-7HPc forms stable, discrete homochiral dimers over a wide range of concentrations in tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide, as well as in the solid state. These homochiral dimers are formed even within the racemic mixture due to the interlocking of two homochiral monomers. The large comproportionation constant and the observed intervalence charge transfer band that appeared in spectroelectrochemistry experiments indicate strong communication between the two Pc monomers in the dimer.2
In the third project, aza[7]helicenes were incorporated with a 1,4-azaborine unit, which exhibits a multiple-resonance effect, to achieve narrow-band emission, high fluorescence quantum yield (FL), and a small Stokes shift. These properties are essential for ultrahigh-definition organic light-emitting diodes that emit circularly polarized light (CP-OLEDs). The synthesized series of molecules demonstrate small Stokes shifts (0.06–0.07 eV), exceptionally narrow fluorescence and circularly polarized luminescence bands with small full width at half maximum (FWHM, 17–28 nm, 0.07–0.13 eV), and high FL (72–85%).3
In conclusion, the synthesis of functional chiral molecules based on carbo- or hetero[7]helicenes was successfully achieved. The efficient synthetic strategies and improved properties of these molecules provide valuable insights for further investigations into helicenes with advanced structures and enhanced properties.
Oligophenyleneethynylenes (OPEs) are prominent building blocks with exciting optical and supramolecular properties. However, their generally small spectroscopic changes upon aggregation make the analysis of their self-assembly challenging, especially in the absence of additional hydrogen bonds. Herein, by investigating a series of OPEs of increasing size, we have unravelled the role of the conjugation length on the self-assembly properties of OPEs.
Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides are at the center of an ever increasing research effort both in terms of fundamental physics and applications. Exciton–phonon coupling plays a key role in determining the (opto)electronic properties of these materials. However, the exciton–phonon coupling strength has not been measured at room temperature. Here, we use two-dimensional micro-spectroscopy to determine exciton–phonon coupling of single-layer MoSe2. We detect beating signals as a function of waiting time induced by the coupling between A excitons and A′1 optical phonons. Analysis of beating maps combined with simulations provides the exciton–phonon coupling. We get a Huang–Rhys factor ~1, larger than in most other inorganic semiconductor nanostructures. Our technique offers a unique tool to measure exciton–phonon coupling also in other heterogeneous semiconducting systems, with a spatial resolution ~260 nm, and provides design-relevant parameters for the development of optoelectronic devices.
We exploited the inherent geometrical isomerism of a PtII complex as a new tool to control supramolecular assembly processes. UV irradiation and careful selection of solvent, temperature, and concentration leads to tunable coordination isomerism, which in turn allows fully reversible switching between two distinct aggregate species (1D fibers↔2D lamellae) with different photoresponsive behavior. Our findings not only broaden the scope of coordination isomerism, but also open up exciting possibilities for the development of novel stimuli-responsive nanomaterials.
Temperature-responsive luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have been fabricated in which the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a donor–acceptor pair in a liquid crystalline solvent can be tuned. At room temperatures, the perylene bisimide (PBI) acceptor is aggregated and FRET is inactive; while after heating to a temperature above the isotropic phase of the liquid crystal solvent, the acceptor PBI completely dissolves and FRET is activated. This unusual temperature control over FRET was used to design a color-tunable LSC. The device has been shown to be highly stable towards consecutive heating and cooling cycles, making it an appealing device for harvesting otherwise unused solar energy.
Despite significant progress in the synthesis of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), reports on the precise construction of template-free nano- and microstructures of such materials have been rare. In the quest for dye-containing porous materials, a novel conjugated framework DPP-TAPP-COF with an enhanced absorption capability up to λ=800 nm has been synthesized by utilizing reversible imine condensations between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP) and a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) dialdehyde derivative. Surprisingly, the obtained COF exhibited spontaneous aggregation into hollow microtubular assemblies with outer and inner tube diameters of around 300 and 90 nm, respectively. A detailed mechanistic investigation revealed the time-dependent transformation of initial sheet-like agglomerates into the tubular microstructures.
Activating delayed fluorescence emission in a dilute solution via a non-covalent approach is a formidable challenge. In this report, we propose a strategy for efficient delayed fluorescence generation in dilute solution using a non-covalent approach via supramolecularly engineered cyclophane-based nanoenvironments that provide sufficient binding strength to π-conjugated guests and that can stabilize triplet excitons by reducing vibrational dissipation and lowering the singlet–triplet energy gap for efficient delayed fluorescence emission. Toward this goal, a novel biphenyl bisimide-derived cyclophane is introduced as an electron-deficient and efficient triplet-generating host. Upon encapsulation of various carbazole-derived guests inside the nanocavity of this cyclophane, emissive charge transfer (CT) states close to the triplet energy level of the biphenyl bisimide are generated. The experimental results of host–guest studies manifest high association constants up to 10\(^4\) M\(^{–1}\) as the prerequisite for inclusion complex formation, the generation of emissive CT states, and triplet-state stabilization in a diluted solution state. By means of different carbazole guest molecules, we could realize tunable delayed fluorescence emission in this carbazole-encapsulated biphenyl bisimide cyclophane in methylcyclohexane/carbon tetrachloride solutions with a quantum yield (QY) of up to 15.6%. Crystal structure analyses and solid-state photophysical studies validate the conclusions from our solution studies and provide insights into the delayed fluorescence emission mechanism.
Water‐soluble cationic perylene diimide dyes as stable photocatalysts for H\(_2\)O\(_2\) evolution
(2023)
Photocatalytic generation of hydrogen peroxide, H\(_2\)O\(_2\), has gained increasing attention in recent years, with applications ranging from solar energy conversion to biophysical research. While semiconducting solid‐state materials are normally regarded as the workhorse for photogeneration of H\(_2\)O\(_2\), an intriguing alternative for on‐demand H\(_2\)O\(_2\) is the use of photocatalytic organic dyes. Herein we report the use of water‐soluble dyes based on perylene diimide molecules which behave as true molecular catalysts for the light‐induced conversion of dissolved oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. In particular, we address how to obtain visible‐light photocatalysts which are stable with respect to aggregation and photochemical degradation. We report on the factors affecting efficiency and stability, including variable electron donors, oxygen partial pressure, pH, and molecular catalyst structure. The result is a perylene diimide derivative with unprecedented peroxide evolution performance using a broad range of organic donor molecules and operating in a wide pH range.
