Umsetzungen N-heterocyclischer Carbene mit Boranen führen zur Bildung von „Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukten“. In Abhängigkeit des Substitutionsmusters der eingesetzten Borane bzw. Carbene eignen sich die erhaltenen Addukte als Ausgangsverbindungen zur Realisierung verschiedener Strukturmotive. Mit geeigneten Übergangsmetallfragmenten gelingt die Darstellung von sigma-Boran-Komplexen bzw. Basen-stabilisierter Boryl-Komplexe, welche mittels spektroskopischer Methoden sowohl im Festkörper, als auch in Lösung untersucht wurden. Ebenfalls gelingt die Synthese Basen-stabilisierter Borirane und einer tetraedrischen Borid-Spezies. Zudem wird ein selektiver Zugang zu Basen-stabilisierten Diborenen entwickelt, wobei deren Bindungssituation und Reaktivität im Detail diskutiert wird. So kann das B=B-Fragment in polymere Spezies eingebunden werden oder als Ligand an Übergangsmetalle koordinieren.
Virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains integrate their T-DNA into the plant genome where the encoded agrobacterial oncogenes are expressed and cause crown gall disease. Essential for crown gall development are IaaH (indole-3-acetamide hydrolase), IaaM (tryptophan monooxygenase) and Ipt (isopentenyl transferase), which encode enzymes for the biosynthesis of auxin (IaaH, IaaM) and cytokinin (Ipt). Although these oncogenes are well studied as the tumor-inducing principle, nothing is known about the regulation of oncogene expression in plant cells. Our studies show that the intergenic regions (IGRs) between the coding sequences (CDS) of the three oncogenes function as promoters in plant cells. These promoters possess a eukaryotic sequence organization and cis-regulatory elements for the binding of plant transcription factors. WRKY18, WRKY40, WRKY60 and ARF5 were identified as activators of the Ipt promoter whereas IaaH and IaaM is constitutively expressed and no transcription factor further activates their promoters. Consistent with these results, the wrky triple mutant plants in particular, develops smaller crown galls than wild-type and exhibits a reduced Ipt transcription, despite the presence of an intact ARF5 gene. WRKY40 and WRKY60 gene expression is induced by A. tumefaciens within a few hours whereas the ARF5 gene is transcribed later during crown gall development. The WRKY proteins interact with ARF5 in the plant nucleus, but only WRKY40 together with ARF5 synergistically boosts the activation of the Ipt promoter in an auxin-dependent manner. From our data, we propose that A. tumefaciens initially induces WRKY40 gene expression as a pathogen defense response of the host cell. The WRKY protein is recruited to induce Ipt expression, which initiates cytokinin-dependent host cell division. With increasing auxin levels triggered by ubiquitous expression of IaaH and IaaM, ARF5 is activated and interacts with WRKY40 to potentiate Ipt expression and balance cytokinin and auxin levels for further cell proliferation.
In dieser Arbeit konnten 69 neue und neuartige Koordinationspolymere sowie Komplexe mit schwefelhaltigen Liganden auf Selten-Erd-Chlorid-Basis synthetisiert und strukturell charak-terisiert werden.
Durch die Umsetzung der Chloride mit dem Liganden Thiazol konnten bei Raumtemperatur, abhängig vom Ionenradius und der eingesetzten Menge Thiazol, sowohl Koordinationspolymere wie 1∞[LnCl3(thz)6]·thz (Ln = La, Ce), dimere Komplexe [Ln2Cl6(thz)8]·3(thz) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd), [Pr2Cl6(thz)8] sowie monomere Komplexe [LnCl3(thz)4]2·thz (Ln = Sm , Eu , Tb, Ho) erhalten werden. Mittels temperaturabhängiger Pulverdiffraktometrie und in-situ Infra-rotspektroskopie sowie DTA/TG-Messungen konnte exemplarisch an 1∞[LaCl3(thz)6]·thz und [Pr2Cl6(thz)8] gezeigt werden, dass stufenweise thermisch bedingt Thiazolmoleküle aus den Strukturen abgegeben werden bis hin zur Rückbildung des eingesetzten LnCl3. Unter der Vo-raussetzung, dass die flüchtige Komponente Thiazol resorbiert wird, ist daher ein Kreispro-zess denkbar. Ferner konnten zusätzlich wasserhaltige Phasen wie der vierkernige Cluster [Pr4Cl10(OH)2(thz)8(H2O)2] erhalten werden.
Durch die Zugabe eines geeigneten Linkermoleküls in das Reaktionssystem aus trivalenten Lanthanidchloriden und Thiazol konnten unter solvothermalen Bedingungen eine Vielzahl an Koordinationspolymeren und Komplexen erhalten werden. Als Linker oder als end-on Ligan-den eigneten sich sowohl eine Reihe an ditopischer Pyridylliganden 4,4'-Biypridin (bipy), 1,2-Di-(4-pyridyl)ethen (dpe), trans-1-(2-Pyridyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylen (tppe), 1,2-Di-(4-pyridyl)ethan (dpa), sowie die Diazine Pyrazin (pyz) und Pyrimidin (pym) oder auch Azole wie 1,2,4-Triazol (tzH) und Pyrazol (pzH). Mittels Einkristallstrukturanalyse und pulverdiffrakto-metrischer Methoden konnten die dreidimensionalen Gerüstverbindungen 3∞[LnCl3(dpa)2]·thz (Ln = Ce - Sm, Gd - Lu), die Schichtstrukturen 2∞[Ln2Cl6(bipy)3(thz)2]·thz (Ln = La, Ce), 2∞[LnCl3(tzH)2(thz)]·thz (Ln = Pr, Sm - Gd) und die strangartigen Koordinationspolymere 1∞[LnCl3(bipy)(thz)2]·thz (Ln = Pr, Nd), 1∞[LnCl3(bipy)(thz)2]·thz (Ln = Sm, Eu - Er, Yb), 1∞[Ln2Cl6(dpe)2(thz)4]·dpe (Ln = Ce, Nd), 1∞[LnCl3(dpe)(thz)2]· 0.5 (dpe) 0.5 (thz) (Ln = Sm, Gd - Dy, Er, Yb), 1∞[HoCl3(dpe)(thz)2]·thz, 1∞[La2Cl6(dpa)(thz)6], 1∞[Pr2Cl6(pyz) (thz)6], 1∞[Ln2Cl6(tzH)4(thz)2] (Ln = Pr, Sm, Gd) sowie die Komplexe [LnCl3(tppe)2(thz)2] (Ln = Nd, Tb, Ho, Er), [Ln2Cl6(pyz)(thz)6]·2(thz) (Ln = Tb, Er), [Ln2Cl6(pym)2(thz)4] (Ln = Tb , Er), [LnCl3(pzH)3(thz)2] (Ln = Pr, Gd) charakterisiert werden.
Ferner konnten die erhaltenen Verbindungen weitestgehend auf ihre photolumineszenz-spektroskopischen sowie thermischen Eigenschaften hin untersucht werden. Außerdem konn-ten auch durch direkte Schwefelkoordination an die Ln3+-Zentren eindimensionale Koordina-tionspolymere 1∞[PrCl2(amt)(py)3] (amt- = 3-Amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazolat), [HNEt3]1∞[LnCl2(amt)2] (Ln = Ho, Er) und Komplexe [LnCl2(Mbim)(py)3]·py (Ln = Y, Er; Mbim = 2-Mercaptobenzimdiazolat) generiert werden
Post-synthetic shaping of porosity and crystal structure of Ln-Bipy-MOFs by thermal treatment
(2015)
The reaction of anhydrous lanthanide chlorides together with 4,4'-bipyridine yields the MOFs \(^{2}\)\(_{∞}\)[Ln\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{6}\)(bipy)\(_{3}\)]*2bipy, with Ln = Pr-Yb, bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine, and \(^{3}\)\(_{∞}\)[La\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{6}\)(bipy)\(_{5}\)]*4bipy. Post-synthetic thermal treatment in combination with different vacuum conditions was successfully used to shape the porosity of the MOFs. In addition to the MOFs microporosity, a tuneable mesoporosity can be implemented depending on the treatment conditions as a surface morphological modification. Furthermore, thermal treatment without vacuum results in several identifiable crystalline high-temperature phases. Instead of collapse of the frameworks upon heating, further aggregation under release of bipy is observed. \(^{3}\)\(_{∞}\)[LaCl\(_{3}\)(bipy)] and \(^{2}\)\(_{∞}\)[Ln\(_{3}\)Cl\(_{9}\)(bipy)\(_{3}\)], with Ln = La, Pr, Sm, and \(^{1}\)\(_{∞}\)[Ho\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{6}\)(bipy)\(_{2}\)] were identified and characterized, which can also exhibit luminescence. Besides being released upon heating, the linker 4,4'-bipyridine can undergo activation of C-C bonding in ortho-position leading to the in-situ formation of 4,4':2',2 '':4 '',4'''-quaterpyridine (qtpy). qtpy can thereby function as linker itself, as shown for the formation of the network \(^{2}\)\(_{∞}\)[Gd\(_{2}\)Cl\(_{6}\)(qtpy)\(_{2}\)(bipy)\(_{2}\)]*bipy. Altogether, the manuscript elaborates the influence of thermal treatment beyond the usual activation procedures reported for MOFs.
The photophysical properties (absorption, fluorescence and phosphorescence) of a series of triarylboranes of the form 4-D-C\(_6\)H\(_4\)-B(Ar)\(_2\) (D=\(^t\)Bu or NPh\(_2\); Ar=mesityl (Mes) or 2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethylphenyl (Fmes)) were analyzed theoretically using state-of-the-art DFT and TD-DFT methods. Simulated emission spectra and computed decay rate constants are in very good agreement with the experimental data. Unrestricted electronic computations including vibronic contributions explain the unusual optical behavior of 4-\(^t\)Bu-C\(_6\)H\(_4\)-B(Fmes)\(_2\) 2, which shows both fluorescence and phosphorescence at nearly identical energies (at 77 K in a frozen glass). Analysis of the main normal modes responsible for the phosphorescence vibrational fine structure indicates that the bulky tert-butyl group tethered to the phenyl ring is strongly involved. Interestingly, in THF solvent, the computed energies of the singlet and triplet excited states are very similar for compound 2 only, which may explain why 2 shows phosphorescence in contrast to the other members of the series.
Efficient quadrupolar chromophores (A–pi–A) with triarylborane moieties as acceptors have been studied by the Marder group regarding their non‐linear optical properties and two‐photon absorption ability for many years. 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
We synthesized new pyrene derivatives with strong bis(para ‐methoxyphenyl)amine donors at the 2,7‐positions and n ‐azaacene acceptors at the K‐region of pyrene. The compounds possess a strong intramolecular charge transfer, leading to unusual properties such as emission in the red to NIR region (700 nm), which has not been reported before for monomeric pyrenes. Detailed photophysical studies reveal very long intrinsic lifetimes of >100 ns for the new compounds, which is typical for 2,7‐substituted pyrenes but not for K‐region substituted pyrenes. The incorporation of strong donors and acceptors leads to very low reduction and oxidation potentials, and spectroelectrochemical studies show that the compounds are on the borderline between localized Robin‐Day class‐II and delocalized Robin‐Day class‐III species.
We synthesized a series of new mono‐, di‐, tri‐ and tetra‐substituted perylene derivatives with strong bis(para‐methoxyphenyl)amine (DPA) donors at the uncommon 2,5,8,11‐positions. The properties of our new donor‐substituted perylenes were studied in detail to establish a structure‐property relationship. Interesting trends and unusual properties are observed for this series of new perylene derivatives, such as a decreasing charge transfer (CT) character with increasing number of DPA moieties and individual reversible oxidations for each DPA moiety. Thus, (DPA)‐Per possesses one reversible oxidation while (DPA)\(_{4}\)‐Per has four. The mono‐ and di‐substituted derivatives display unusually large Stokes shifts not previously reported for perylenes. Furthermore, transient absorption measurements of the new derivatives reveal an excited state with lifetimes of several hundred microseconds, which sensitizes singlet oxygen with quantum yields of up to 0.83.
A water‐soluble tetracationic quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane chromophore showed strong binding to ds‐DNA, ds‐RNA, ss‐RNA, as well as to the naturally most abundant protein, BSA. The novel dye can distinguish between DNA/RNA and BSA by fluorescence emission separated by Δv =3600 cm\(^{-1}\), allowing for the simultaneous quantification of DNA/RNA and protein (BSA) in a mixture. The applicability of such fluorimetric differentiation in vitro was demonstrated, strongly supporting a protein‐like target as a dominant binding site of 1 in cells. Moreover, our dye also bound strongly to ss‐RNA, with the unusual rod‐like structure of the dye, decorated by four positive charges at its termini and having a hydrophobic core, acting as a spindle for wrapping A, C and U ss‐RNAs, but not poly G, the latter preserving its secondary structure. To the best of our knowledge, such unmatched, multifaceted binding activity of a small molecule toward DNA, RNA, and proteins and the selectivity of its fluorimetric and chirooptic response makes the quadrupolar bis‐triarylborane a novel chromophore/fluorophore moiety for biochemical applications.
Using a new divergent approach, conjugated triarylborane dendrimers were synthesized up to the 2nd generation. The synthetic strategy consists of three steps: 1) functionalization, via iridium catalyzed C−H borylation; 2) activation, via fluorination of the generated boronate ester with K[HF\(_{2}\)] or [N(nBu\(_{4}\))][HF\(_{2}\)]; and 3) expansion, via reaction of the trifluoroborate salts with aryl Grignard reagents. The concept was also shown to be viable for a convergent approach. All but one of the conjugated borane dendrimers exhibit multiple, distinct and reversible reduction potentials, making them potentially interesting materials for applications in molecular accumulators. Based on their photophysical properties, the 1st generation dendrimers exhibit good conjugation over the whole system. However, the conjugation does not increase further upon expansion to the 2nd generation, but the molar extinction coefficients increase linearly with the number of triarylborane subunits, suggesting a potential application as photonic antennas.
