Water‐soluble multinuclear complexes based on ruthenium 2,2′‐bipyridine‐6,6′‐dicarboxylate (bda) and ditopic bipyridine linker units are investigated in three‐component visible light‐driven water oxidation catalysis. Systematic studies revealed a strong enhancement of the catalytic efficiency in the absence of organic co‐solvents and with increasing oligomer length. In‐depth kinetic and morphological investigations suggest that the enhanced performance is induced by the self‐assembly of linear Ru(bda) oligomers into aggregated superstructures. The obtained turnover frequencies (up to 14.9 s\(^{−1}\)) and turnover numbers (more than 1000) per ruthenium center are the highest reported so far for Ru(bda)‐based photocatalytic water oxidation systems.
Perylene bisimides (PBIs) are among the best fluorophores but have to be enwrapped for optoelectronic applications by large and heavy substituents to prevent their ππ‐stacking, which is known to accelerate non‐radiative decay processes in the solid state. Here, light‐weight di‐tert‐butylsilyl groups are introduced to bridge 1,12‐dihydroxy and 1,6,7,12‐tetrahydroxy PBIs to afford sublimable dyes for vacuum‐processed optoelectronic devices. For both new compounds, this substitution provides a twisted and shielded perylene π‐core whose, via OSiObridges, rigid structure affords well‐resolved absorption and emission spectra with strong fluorescence in solution, as well as in the solid state. The usefulness of these dyes for vacuum‐processed optoelectronic devices is demonstrated in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) that show monomer‐like emission spectra and high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) values of up to 3.1% for the doubly silicon‐bridged PBI.
In recent years, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted considerable attention due to their crystalline and porous nature, which positions them as intriguing candidates for diverse applications such as catalysis, sensing, or optoelectronics. The incorporation of dyes or semiconducting moieties into a rigid two-dimensional COF can offer emergent features such as enhanced light harvesting or charge transport. However, this approach can be challenging when dealing with dye molecules that exhibit a large aromatic backbone, since the steric demand of solubilizing side chains also needs to be integrated into the framework. Here, we report the successful synthesis of DPP2-HHTP-COF consisting of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) diboronic acid and hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) building blocks. The well-known boronate ester coupling motif guides the formation of a planar and rigid backbone and long-range molecular DPP stacks, resulting in a highly crystalline and porous material. DPP2-HHTP-COF exhibits excellent optical properties including strong absorption over the visible spectral range, broad emission into the NIR and a singlet lifetime of over 5 ns attributed to the formation of molecular stacks with J-type interactions between the DPP subcomponents in the COF. Electrical measurements of crystalline DPP2-HHTP-COF pellets revealed conductivity values of up to 10(-6) S cm(-1).
Chemical processes mostly happen in fluid environments where reaction partners encounter via diffusion. The bimolecular encounters take place at a nanosecond time scale. The chemical environment (e.g., solvent molecules, (counter)ions) has a decisive influence on the reactivity as it determines the contact time between two molecules and affects the energetics. For understanding reactivity at an atomic level and at the appropriate dynamic time scale, it is crucial to combine matching experimental and theoretical data. Here, we have utilized all-atom molecular-dynamics simulations for accessing the key time scale (nanoseconds) using a QM/MM-Hamiltonian. Ion pairs consisting of a radical ion and its counterion are ideal systems to assess the theoretical predictions because they reflect dynamics at an appropriate time scale when studied by temperature-dependent EPR spectroscopy. We have investigated a diketone radical anion with its tetra-ethylammonium counterion. We have established a funnel-like transition path connecting two (equivalent) complexation sites. The agreement between the molecular-dynamics simulation and the experimental data presents a new paradigm for ion–ion interactions. This study exemplarily demonstrates the impact of the molecular environment on the topological states of reaction intermediates and how these states can be consistently elucidated through the combination of theory and experiment. We anticipate that our findings will contribute to the prediction of bimolecular transformations in the condensed phase with relevance to chemical synthesis, polymers, and biological activity.
Arene‐fluoroarene interactions offer outstanding possibilities for engineering of supramolecular systems, including nucleic acids. Here, we implement the tolane‐perfluorotolane interaction as base pair replacement in DNA. Tolane (THH) and perfluorotolane (TFF) moieties were connected to acyclic backbone units, comprising glycol nucleic acid (GNA) or butyl nucleic acid (BuNA) building blocks, that were incorporated via phosphoramidite chemistry at opposite positions in a DNA duplex. Thermodynamic analyses by UV thermal melting revealed a compelling stabilization by THH/TFF heteropairs only when connected to the BuNA backbone, but not with the shorter GNA linker. Detailed NMR studies confirmed the preference of the BuNA backbone for enhanced polar π‐stacking. This work defines how orthogonal supramolecular interactions can be tailored by small constitutional changes in the DNA backbone, and it inspires future studies of arene‐fluoroarene‐programmed assembly of DNA.
In dieser Dissertation wird beschrieben, wie es durch systematische Anwendung unterschiedlicher Methoden zur Herstellung und Modifizierung von Diamant gezielt und verlässlich möglich ist, die Eigenschaften von Diamanten zu beeinflussen. Es wird gezeigt, wie durch Variation der Parameter bei dem Wachstum von Diamant Einfluss auf dessen Morphologie und Eigenschaften genommen werden kann. Des Weiteren wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, mit dem die Oberfläche des Diamanten durch Ozon effizient oxidiert beziehungsweise reduziert werden kann. Um diese veränderte Oberflächenbelegung möglichst genau zu analysieren, wird im letzten Teil der Dissertation eine Methode zur qualitativen und quantitativen Analytik der Oberflächen von Kohlenstoffnanomaterialien beschrieben.
We introduce fluorescence-detected pump–probe microscopy by combining a wavelength-tunable ultrafast laser with a confocal scanning fluorescence microscope, enabling access to the femtosecond time scale on the micrometer spatial scale. In addition, we obtain spectral information from Fourier transformation over excitation pulse-pair time delays. We demonstrate this new approach on a model system of a terrylene bisimide (TBI) dye embedded in a PMMA matrix and acquire the linear excitation spectrum as well as time-dependent pump–probe spectra simultaneously. We then push the technique towards single TBI molecules and analyze the statistical distribution of their excitation spectra. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ultrafast transient evolution of several individual molecules, highlighting their different behavior in contrast to the ensemble due to their individual local environment. By correlating the linear and nonlinear spectra, we assess the effect of the molecular environment on the excited-state energy.
Mittels einer fünfstufigen Synthese wurde das 2,2´-Ditetracen als Modellsystem zur Erforschung von singlet fission-Prozessen hergestellt. Die Synthese wurde mit einer Gesamtausbeute von 21 % durchgeführt, wobei der Schlüsselschritt, die Kopplung der beiden Monomere, durch eine Suzuki-Kopplung erfolgte. Das gewünschte Produkt konnte nach gründlicher Reinigung mittels Gradientensublimation als leuchtend rote Einkristalle erhalten werden. Während die Emissionsspektren der Einzelmoleküle nahezu identisch sind, zeigen Untersuchungen mittels Photolumineszenzspektroskopie eine Rotverschiebung im Emissionsspektrum des Dimer-Einkristalls im Vergleich zum Einkristall des Tetracen-Monomers. Durch theoretische Berechnung konnte die Absenkung des S1-Zustands des Dimers im Kristall erklärt werden, wodurch die Energiebedingung für singlet fission (2 E(T1) ≤ E(S1)) nicht mehr erfüllt ist.
Weiterhin wurden mehrere mit Alkylgruppen und Vinylgruppen substituierte Tetracenderivate synthetisiert und diese mittels optischer und elektrochemischer Methoden auf ihre Eigenschaften hin untersucht. Es wurde bei allen synthetisierten Derivaten eine Rotverschiebung der Hauptbanden im Absorptionsspektrum beobachtet, was durch einen kleineren HOMO-LUMO-Abstand im Vergleich zum nicht substituierten Tetracen erklärt wird. Es wurde zudem eine erhöhte Stabilität dieser Derivate gegenüber Umwelteinflüssen wie Licht und Sauerstoff, die die Bildung von Endoperoxiden und Dimeren zur Folge haben, festgestellt. Dies kann auf sterische Effekte sowie die Stabilisierung des biradikalischen Zustands dieser Moleküle durch Hyperkonjugation und Resonanzeffekte zurückgeführt werden.
The West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus is a rich source of structurally most diverse naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. From its roots, a series of four novel representatives, named ancistrobrevolines A–D (14–17) have now been isolated, displaying an unprecedented heterocyclic ring system, where the usual isoquinoline entity is replaced by a ring-contracted isoindolinone part. Their constitutions were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The absolute configurations at the chiral axis and at the stereogenic center were assigned by using experimental and computational electronic circular dichroism (ECD) investigations and a ruthenium-mediated oxidative degradation, respectively. For the biosynthetic origin of the isoindolinones from ‘normal’ naphthyltetrahydroisoquinolines, a hypothetic pathway is presented. It involves oxidative decarboxylation steps leading to a ring contraction by a benzilic acid rearrangement. Ancistrobrevolines A (14) and B (15) were found to display moderate cytotoxic effects (up to 72%) against MCF-7 breast and A549 lung cancer cells and to reduce the formation of spheroids (mammospheres) in the breast cancer cell line.
Beyond the four canonical nucleosides as primary building blocks of RNA, posttranscriptional modifications give rise to the epitranscriptome as a second layer of genetic information. In eukaryotic mRNA, the most abundant posttranscriptional modification is N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is involved in the regulation of cellular processes. Throughout this thesis, the concept of atomic mutagenesis was employed to gain novel mechanistic insights into the substrate recognition by human m6A reader proteins as well as in the oxidative m6A demethylation by human demethylase enzymes. Non-natural m6A atomic mutants featuring distinct steric and electronic properties were synthesized and incorporated into RNA oligonucleotides. Fluorescence anisotropy measurements using these modified oligonucleotides revealed the impact of the atomic mutagenesis on the molecular recognition by the human m6A readers YTHDF2, YTHDC1 and YTHDC2 and allowed to draw conclusions about structural prerequisites for substrate recognition. Furthermore, substrate recognition and demethylation mechanism of the human m6A demethylase enzymes FTO and ALKBH5 were analyzed by HPLC-MS and PAGE-based assays using the modified oligonucleotides synthesized in this work.
Modified nucleosides not only expand the genetic alphabet, but are also extensively researched as drug candidates. In this thesis, the antiviral mechanism of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug remdesivir was investigated, which causes delayed stalling of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). Novel remdesivir phosphoramidite building blocks were synthesized and used to construct defined RNA-RdRp complexes for subsequent studies by cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). It was found that the 1'-cyano substituent causes Rem to act as a steric barrier of RdRp translocation. Since this translocation barrier can eventually be overcome by the polymerase, novel derivatives of Rem with potentially improved antiviral properties were designed.
