  abstract  = {Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a developing modality for the treatment of certain tumorous and other diseases. Considerable progress has been made in recent years in the search for new photosensitizers, in particular elucidating the role of localization of the photosensitizer. Known successful photosensitizers of the tetrapyrrole type are amphiphilic molecules, preferably localizing in cellular membrane structures. Thus, the quest for new photosensitizers requires the synthesis of unsymmetrically Substituted (amphiphilic) tetrapyrroles. In this article. we describe strategies for the de novo synthesis of amphiphilic tetrapyrroles using a 3-hydroxyphenyl substituted tetrapyrrolic system (Temoporfin) as the lead structure. From an applied science-oriented approach, such a set of amphiphilic porphyrins is best synthesized by combining well-developed condensation methods with subsequent functionalization via organolithium compound or transition metal catalyzed coupling protocols. Starting from simple A(2)- or AB-porphyrins, the synthesis of A(2)B-, A(3)-, A(3)B-, and A(2)BC-porphyrins with a mixed hydrophilic/hydrophobic substitution pattern is described. Because of the versatility of this approach to unsymmetrically Substituted porphyrins it is also applicable to other areas where porphyryns with a tailor-made substitution patterns are needed. for example. catalysts or molecular electronic devices based on tetrapyrroles.

  abstract  = {Self-diffusion measurements in microemulsion systems composed of a naturally occurring soybean lecithin mixture, an aqueous phase, either water or a 1\% aqueous PDADMAC solution, and isooctane were accomplished by pulsed field gradient (PFG) (HNMR)-H-1 spectroscopy at oil dilution lines of low and intermediate water/lecithin ratios. The concentration-dependent diffusion data reveal water-in-oil (W/O) reverse micellar aggregates with dimensions on the nanometer scale being slightly smaller at low water content. With increasing micellar volume fractions, both hydrodynamic as well as direct interactions between particles significantly slow aggregate diffusion. The surfactant mean square displacements (msd's) in dilute and concentrated polymer-free systems studied as a function of diffusion time (20-1000 ms) are characterized by a crossover from Gaussian diffusion, due to slow aggregate motion, to anomalously enhanced diffusion, due to fast surface-bulk surfactant exchange at intermediate times revealing weak, barrier-controlled adsorption behavior. Upon addition of the polycation PDADMAC, the diffusion characteristics change to exclusively superdiffusive behavior with surfactant msd scaling with time as t(3/2) over the entire time range studied. This is caused by surfactant molecules performing Levy walks along the surface of reverse micelles mediated by the dilute bulk. The bulk-mediated surface diffusion is a consequence of the diffusion-controlled micelle-bulk exchange dynamics induced by interactions of PDADMAC with surfactant headgroups},

Effective emission quantum yields and related photonic properties were evaluated on a realistic per-chromophore basis using effective conjugation lengths based on the Strickler-Berg relationship. intramolecular photocyclization was deduced to occur in the one case where the biphenyl molecular connectivity permitted the reaction, based on matrix- assisted loser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC)-NMR, and gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) results. The various photoprocesses could be induced by either OP or TP excitation, though the first excited singlet state is the photoactive state. The higher excitation energy 1 of the TP excited state favors indirect population of the S, state by electronic coupling between the TP and OP excited states [lambda(max)(TPE) (nm): 726; delta (GM)([9]): 1 = 229, 2 = 215, 3 = 109).

Variations in H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts with the dihedral angle are discussed in terms of Lewis and non-Lewis partitioning and their respective importance is evaluated. In addition to hyperconjugation of the lone pair in a p orbital of oxygen that was previously reported, a sizable participation of the lone pair which is in an sp orbital is also observed and their combined effect dominates the carbon chemical shifts of the C-1-C-2-OH and C-3-C-2-OH fragments. Both lone pairs on oxygen also contribute to localized, though-space effects on nuclei in the vicinity, these effects answering for the largest deviations in hydrogen chemical shifts on rotation around the C-O bond. On the other hand, for conformers in which nonbonded repulsions lead to distortions in the molecular framework, variations in chemical shifts may be attributed to angular effects},

  abstract  = {To determine whether Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements can provide quantitative distance information in single-molecule fluorescence experiments on polypeptides, we measured FRET efficiency distributions for donor and acceptor dyes attached to the ends of freely diffusing polyproline molecules of various lengths. The observed mean FRET efficiencies agree with those determined from ensemble lifetime measurements but differ considerably from the values expected from Forster theory, with polyproline treated as a rigid rod. At donor-acceptor distances much less than the Forster radius R-o, the observed efficiencies are lower than predicted, whereas at distances comparable to and greater than R-0, they are much higher. Two possible contributions to the former are incomplete orientational averaging during the donor lifetime and, because of the large size of the dyes, breakdown of the point-dipole approximation assumed in Forster theory. End-to-end distance distributions and correlation times obtained from Langevin molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the differences for the longer polyproline peptides can be explained by chain bending, which considerably shortens the donor-acceptor distances},

Similarly, 5,10-disubstituted porphyrins are accessible by simple condensation of unsubstituted tripyrrane with pyrrole and various aldehydes using a "[3+1]" approach. The yields for these reactions are low to moderate and additional formation of either di- or mono-substituted porphyrins due to scrambling of the intermediates is observed. However, the reactions can be performed quite easily and the desired target compounds are easily removed due to large differences in solubility. A complementary and more selective synthesis involves the use of organolithium reagents for SNAr reactions. Reaction of in situ generated porphyrin (porphine) with 1.1-8 equivalents of RLi gave the monosubstituted porphyrins, while reaction with 3-6 equivalents of RLi gave the 5,10-disubstituted porphyrins in yields ranging from 43 to 90\%.

Depending on their physicochemical properties and their uptake mechanism, sensitizers can reach different intracellular concentrations and localize in different subcellular compartments. Moreover, the preferential localization of a sensitizer in target organelles, like mitochondria or lysosomes, could determine the cell death mechanism after PDT. This study aimed to investigate the influence of substitutions on dihydroxychlorins with regard to intracellular uptake, subcellular localization and cell death pathway. Moreover, the effect of a liposome-based delivery system was tested. The intracellular uptake was found to be strictly dependent on the sensitizer molecular structure and the means of its delivery. The most polar sensitizer in this study (compound 3) had, depending on incubation time, an intracellular concentration 2-8 times higher than the unsubstituted chlorin 1. All investigated photosensitizers localize predominantly in lysosomes but after longer incubation times weak fluorescence intensity was also detected in mitochondria and Golgi apparatus. The cell death pathway was found to be influenced by the sensitizer intracellular concentration and the applied light doses. In general, the increasing amphiphilicity of the sensitizer molecules is correlated with an increased sensitizer uptake and an increased rate of necrotic cells after irradiation.

  abstract  = {This paper presents some results concerning the size-controlled hydroxyapatite nanoparticles obtained in aqueous media in a biopolymer matrix from soluble precursors salts. Taking the inspiration from nature, where composite materials made of a polymer matrix and inorganic fillers are often found, e.g. bone, shell of crustaceans, shell of eggs, etc., the feasibility on making composite materials containing chitosan and nanosized hydroxyapatite was investigated. A stepwise co-precipitation approach was used to obtain different types of composites by means of different ratio between components. The synthesis of hydroxyapatite was carried out in the chitosan matrix from calcium chloride and sodium dihydrogenphosphate in alkaline solutions at moderate pH of 10-11 for 24 h. Our research is focused on studying and understanding the structure of this class of composites, aiming at the development of novel materials, controlled at the nanolevel scale. The X-ray diffraction technique was employed in order to study the kinetic of hydroxyapatite formation in the chitosan matrix as well as to determine the HAp crystallite sizes in the composite samples. The hydroxyapatite synthesized using this route was found to be nano-sized (15-50nm). Moreover, applying an original approach to analyze the (002) XRD diffraction peak profile of hydroxyapatite by using a sum of two Gauss functions, the bimodal distribution of nanosized hydroxyapatite within the chitosan matrix was revealed. Two types of size distribution domains such as cluster-like (between 200 and 400 nm), which are the habitat of "small" hydroxyapatite nanocrystallites and scattered-like, which are the habitat of "large" hydroxyapatite nanocrystallites was probed by TEM and CSLM. The structural features of composites suggest that self-assembly processes might be involved. The composites contain nanosized hydroxyapatite with structural features close to those of biological apatites that make them attractive for bone tissue engineering applications.

Commercially available poly(acrylic acid) has been hydrophobically modified with various degrees of grafting of butylamine introduced randomly along the chain. Different analytical methods are performed, i.e., IR and H-1-NMR spectroscopy in combination with elemental analysis to determine the degree of grafting. The modified polymers can successfully be used for the controlled single-step synthesis and stabilization of gold nanoparticles. The process of nanoparticle formation is investigated by means of UV-vis spectroscopy. The size and shape of the particles obtained in the presence of unmodified or modified polyelectrolytes are characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements and transmission electron microscopy. The polyelectrolytes were involved in the crystallization process of the nanoparticles, and in the presence of hydrophobic microdomains at the particle surface, a better stabilization at higher temperature can be observed},

The preference for the Z conformer, Delta E(HF), was calculated to be 5.36 kcal mol(-1) and 7.50 kcal mot(-1) for phenyl acetate and phenyl trifluoroacetate (i.e., with X = H), respectively. The increasing electron-withdrawing ability of the phenyl substituent X increases the preference of the Z conformer. An excellent correlation with a negative slope was observed for both series between Delta E of the E-Z equilibrium and the Hammett sigma constant. By using an appropriate isodesmic reaction, it was shown that electron-withdrawing substituents decrease the stability of both conformers, but the effect is higher with the E conformer. Electron-withdrawing phenyl substituents decrease the delocalization of the lone pair of the ether oxygen to the C=O antibonding orbital (n(O) -> pi*(C=O)) in both the E and Z forms and in both series studied; this effect is higher in the E conformer than in the Z conformer. The n(O) -> pi*(C=O) electron donation has a minimum value with tau(1) = 90 degrees and a maximum value with tau(1) = 90 degrees (the Z conformer), the value with tau(1) = 180 degrees (the E conformer) being between these two values, obviously due to steric hindrance. The effects of the phenyl substituents on the reactivity of the esters studied are discussed in terms of molecular orbital interactions. ED/EW substituents adjust the availability of the pi*(C=O) antibonding orbital to interact with the lone pair orbital of the attacking nucleophile and therefore affect the reactivity: EW substituents increase and ED substituents decrease it. Excellent correlations were observed between the rate coefficients of nucleophilic acyl substitutions and pi*(C=O) occupancies of the ester series 4 and},

  abstract  = {This paper focuses on the characterization and use of polymer-modified phosphatidylcholine (PC)/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-based inverse microemulsions as a template phase for BaSO4 nanoparticle formation. The area of the optically clear inverse microemulsion phase in the isooctane/hexanol/water/PC/SDS system is not significantly changed by adding polyelectrolytes, i.e., poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), or amphoteric copolymers of diallyldimethylammonium chloride and maleamid acid to the SDS-modified inverse microemulsion. Shear experiments show non- Newtonian flow behavior and oscillation experiments show a frequency-dependent viscosity increase (dilatant behavior) of the microemulsions. Small amounts of bulk water were identified by means of differential scanning calorimetry. One can conclude that the macromolecules are incorporated into the individual droplets, and polymer-filled microemulsions are formed. The polymer-filled microemulsions were used as a template phase for the synthesis of BaSO4 nanoparticles. After solvent evaporation the nanoparticles were redispersed in water and isooctane, respectively. The polymers incorporated into the microemulsion are involved in the redispersion process and influence the size and shape of the redispersed BaSO4 particles in a specific way. The crystallization process mainly depends on the type of solvent and the polymer component added. In the presence of the cationic polyelectrolyte PDADMAC the crystallization to larger cubic crystals is inhibited, and layers consisting of polymer-stabilized spherical nanoparticles of BaSO4 (6 nm in size) will be observed.

In the case of the asymmetrically N(Me)Ph-substituted compounds, ab initio GIAO-calculated ring current effects of the N-phenyl group were applied to successfully determine the preferred conformer bias. The restricted rotations about the two C-N partial double bonds were studied by DNMR and the barriers to rotation (Delta G(c)(double dagger)) determined at the coalescence temperatures, and these were discussed with respect to the structural differences between the compounds. The barriers to rotation were also calculated at the ab initio level of theory where the best results (R-2 = 0.8746) were obtained only with inclusion of the solvent at the SCIPCMHF/6-31G* level of theory. The calculations also provided means of assessing structural influences which were not available due to inaccessible rotation barriers. By means of natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of 1-4, the occupation numbers of nitrogen lone pairs and bonding/antibonding pi/pi* orbitals were shown to quantitatively describe thio(seleno)amide/vinylogous thio(seleno)amide "resonance". Finally, the thio(seleno)carbonyl anisotropic effect was quantitatively calculated by the GIRO method and visualized by isochemical shielding surfaces (ICSS). Only marginal differences between the two anisotropic effects were calculated and are therefore of questionable utility for previous and future applications with respect to stereochemical assignments},

Specifically, the laser desorption of a small molecule (NO) from a metal slab (Pt) in the so-called DIET limit (Desorption Induced by Electronic Transitions), is studied. The excitation of the metal electrons by a laser pulse followed by the formation of a negative ion resonance, its subsequent decay, and the simultaneous desorption of the molecule are all treated within a single quantum mechanical model. This model is based on an earlier theory of Harris and others [S. M. Harris, S. Holloway, and G. R. Darling, J. Chem. Phys. 102, 8235 (1995)], according to which a nuclear degree of freedom is coupled to an electronic one, both propagated on a single non-Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface. The goals of the present contribution are (i) to make a conceptual connection of this model to the frequently adopted nonadiabatic "multi-state" models of photodesorption, (ii) to understand details of the desorption mechanism, (iii) to explicitly account for the laser pulse, and (iv) to study the photodesorption as a function of the thickness of the metal film, and the laser parameters.

Both measurements yielded complementary information on the complexation of metals by HS. Large differences between fulvic acids(FA)and humic acids (HA) were found. From time-resolved luminescence measurements it is concluded that a combination of energy transfer and energy back transfer between HS and Ln(3+) is responsible for the observed luminescence decay characteristics. In the case of Eu3+, an additional participation of charge-transfer states is suggested. A new concept for the evaluation of the sensitized luminescence decays of Ln(3+) was adapted},

  abstract  = {Using standard cell biological and biochemical methods we were able to test the ability of a degradable, thermoplastic block copolymer to support the adhesion, proliferation, and the cellular activity of primary cell cultures of the oral cavity in vitro. The delicate balance between a group of endogenous enzymes, Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), and their inhibitors (Tissue Inhibitor of MMPs, TIMPs) have a decisive function in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix during processes like wound healing or the integration of biomaterials in surrounding tissues after implantation. Recently developed, biodegradable thermoplastic elastomers with shape-memory properties may be the key to develop new therapeutical options in head and neck surgery. Primary cell cultures of the oral cavity of Sprague-Dawley rats were seeded on the surface of a thermoplastic block copolymer and on a polystyrene surface as control. Conditioned media of the primary cells were analyzed for MMPs and TIMPs after different periods of cell growth. The MMP and TIMP expression was analysed by zymography and a radiometric enzyme assay. No statistically significant differences in the appearance and the kinetic of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMPs were detected between cells grown on the polymer surface compared to the control. An appropriate understanding of the molecular processes that regulate cellular growth and integration of a biomaterial in surrounding tissue is the requirement for an optimal adaptation of biodegradable, polymeric biomaterials to the physiological, anatomical, and surgical conditions in vivo to develop new therapeutic options in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery},

  abstract  = {Propagation of inductive and resonance effects of phenyl substituents within 1-(substituted phenyl)-6,7- dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro- and -1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were studied with the aid of C-13 and N-15 NMR chemical shifts and ab initio calculations. The substituent-induced changes in the chemical shift (SCS) were correlated with a dual substituent parameter equation. The contributions of conjugative (rho(R)) and nonconjugative effects (rho(F)) were analyzed, and mapping of the substituent-induced changes is given over the entire isoquinoline moiety for both series. The experimental results can be rationalized with the aid of the resonance polarization concept. This means the consideration of the substituent-sensitive balance of different resonance structures, i.e., electron delocalization, and the effect of the aromatic ring substituents on their relative contributions. With tetrahydroisoquinolines, the delocalization of the nitrogen lone pair (stereoelectronic effect) particularly contributes. Correlation analysis of the Mulliken atomic charges for the dihydroisoquinoline derivatives was also performed. The results support the concept of the substituent-sensitive polarization of the isoquinoline moiety even if the polarization pattern achieved via the NMR approach is not quite the same as that predicted by the computational charges. Previously the concepts of localized pi- polarization and extended polarization have been used to explain polar substituent effects within aromatic side-chain derivatives. We consider that the resonance polarization model effectively contributes to the understanding of the polar substituent effects},

  year      = {2005},
  abstract  = {In order to elucidate the interactions of copper with wood, three mononuclear copper(II) coordination compounds with a vanillinate anion, cis-[Cu(C8H7O3)(2)(H2O)(2)] (1), trans-[Cu(C8H7O3)(2)(H2O)(2)].2H(2)O (2), and trans- [Cu(C8H7O3)(2)(H2O)(2)] (3), have been characterized. X-ray structure analysis of the cis isomer 1 reveals two bidentate vanillinate ions coordinated via methoxy (Cu-O1 2.260(2) angstrom) and deprotonated hydroxy oxygen atoms (Cu-O2 1.909(2) angstrom), and two water molecules (Cu-O1w 2.087(2) angstrom) in the octahedral CuO6 chromophore. Two axes O1-Cu- O1w' in the octahedron have the same length, while the third axis O2-Cu-O2' is shorter. This is in agreement with the room temperature EPR spectrum of 1, showing two signals (g(12) 2.302, g(3) 2.005), but interestingly, three signals (g(1) 2.393, g(2) 2.214, g(3) 2.010) in the 115 K spectrum were found. The same coordination atoms were found also in the trans isomer 2 (Cu-O2 1.950(2), Cu-O1w 1.994(2), Cu-O1 2.334(2) angstrom), however here, two axes of almost equal length are short (O2-Cu-O2' O1w-Cu-O1w'), while the third axis is longer (O1-Cu-O1'). On the other hand, three (rhombic) signals (g(1) 2.289, g(2) 2.163, g(3) 2.086) in the room temperature EPR spectrum of 2 suggest three different axes in the coordination octahedron. In the EPR spectrum, of the second trans complex 3, a slightly rhombically distorted elongated axial spectrum is found. The 115 K EPR spectra of the two trans complexes 2 and 3 do not differ significantly from the features observed at room temperature. These results indicate that there is not always a straightforward correlation between the results of XRD structure analysis and EPR spectroscopy. Nevertheless, both methods can act also complementarily and give a deeper insight into the nature of copper(II) chromophores},

The structure and phase behavior of the complexes were examined by IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, and small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering. This class of materials shows a number of interesting physicochemical properties, namely liquid-crystalline phases (both thermotropic and lyotropic) and strong photoluminescence. The photophysical behavior (fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetimes, fluorescence quantum yield) of the complexes differs widely in solid powders, films, and solutions. The amphiphilic cationic surfactants not only play a structural role but also have a strong influence on the photophysical properties of E. The photophysical behavior of E can in this way be easily modified by its organizational motifs},

  abstract  = {The fluorescence properties and the fluorescence quenching by Tb3+ of substituted benzoic acid were investigated in solution at different pH. The substituted benzoic acids were used as simple model compounds for chromophores present in humic substances (HS). It is shown that the fluorescence properties of the model compounds resemble fluorescence of HS quite well. A major factor determining the fluorescence of model compounds are proton transfer reactions in the electronically excited state. It is intriguing that the fluorescence of the model compounds was almost not quenched by Tb3+ while the HS fluorescence was decreased very effectively. From our results we concluded that proton transfer reactions as well as conformational reorientation processes play an important role in the fluorescence of HS. The luminescence of bound Tb3+ was sensitized by an energy transfer step upon excitation of the model compounds and of HS, respectively. For HS the observed sensitization was dependent on its origin indicating differences 1) in the connection between chromophores and binding sites and 2) in the energy levels of the chromophore triplet states. Hence, the observed sensitization of the Tb3+ luminescence could be useful to characterize structural differences of HS in solution. Interlanthanide energy transfer between Tb3+ and Nd3+ was used to determine the average distance R between both ions using the well-known formalism of luminescence resonance energy transfer. R was dependent on the origin of the HS reflecting the difference in structure. The value of Rmin seemed to be a unique feature of the HS. It was further found that upon variation of the pH R also changed. This demonstrates that the measurement of interlanthanide energy transfer can be used as a direct method to monitor conformational changes in HS.},

The observed mean FRET efficiencies agree with those determined from ensemble lifetime measurements but differ considerably from the values expected from F{\"o}rster theory, with polyproline treated as a rigid rod. At donor-acceptor distances much less than the F{\"o}rster radius R0, the observed efficiencies are lower than predicted, whereas at distances comparable to and greater than R0, they are much higher. Two possible contributions to the former are incomplete orientational averaging during the donor lifetime and, because of the large size of the dyes, breakdown of the point-dipole approximation assumed in F{\"o}rster theory. End-to-end distance distributions and correlation times obtained from Langevin molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the differences for the longer polyproline peptides can be explained by chain bending, which considerably shortens the donor-acceptor distances.},

Die molekular glatten Cellulosefilme wurden zur Untersuchung der Adh{\"a}sionseigenschaften zwischen Celluloseoberfl{\"a}chen und ihrer Modifikation durch den Einfluss von Haftvermittlern (Polyelektrolyte) eingesetzt. Daf{\"u}r wurde das Haftungsverm{\"o}gen von Celluloseperlen auf der glatten Celluloseoberfl{\"a}che analysiert. Die Adh{\"a}sion der Celluloseperlen h{\"a}ngt dabei von der Menge und von der Art des adsorbierten Polyelektrolyts ab. Geringe Polyelektrolytkonzentrationen erm{\"o}glichen wegen der teilweisen Bedeckung der Celluloseoberfl{\"a}chen eine Verst{\"a}rkung der Haftvermittlung (Adh{\"a}sion). H{\"o}here Konzentrationen an Polyelektrolyten bedecken die Celluloseoberfl{\"a}che komplett, so dass die Symmetrie der Polyelektrolytadsorption entscheidend wird. Wenn Celluloseperlen und glatte Celluloseoberfl{\"a}che gleichzeitig mit Polyelektrolyten beschichtet werden verringert sich bei hohen Konzentrationen die Adh{\"a}sion erheblich. Ein hohes Maß an Adh{\"a}sion wird dagegen erreicht, wenn nur eine der beiden gegen{\"u}berliegende Celluloseoberfl{\"a}chen separat beschichtet und dann in Kontakt mit der anderen gebracht Oberfl{\"a}che wurde.

Die Zugabe von verschiedenen Polyelektrolyten bei den Messungen mit der Str{\"o}mungszelle hatte einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Beweglichkeit der haftenden Celluloseperlen.

In Copolymeren bewirkt die Photoorientierung der Azobenzen-Seitengruppen eine kooperative Orientierung von formanisotropen Seitengruppen. Die Mesogenit{\"a}t der nicht-photochromen Seitengruppen erh{\"o}ht das Ausmaß der induzierten optischen Anisotropie. Die Stabilit{\"a}t der induzierten Doppelbrechung und des Dichroismus wird durch diese Gruppen gesteigert. In Schichten fl{\"u}ssigkristalliner Polymeren wird die induzierte optische Anisotropie beim Tempern im Bereich der Mesophasen erheblich verst{\"a}rkt. Dabei reicht ein geringes Maß an induzierter Anisotropie aus, um Doppelbrechungs- und Dichroismuswerte zu erzielen, wie sie f{\"u}r LC-Dom{\"a}nen typisch sind. In orientierten Schichten von Azobenzen-Polymeren wird das Resultat der linear polarisierten Bestrahlung durch die St{\"a}rke der anisotropen Wechselwirkungen in den fl{\"u}ssigkristallinen Dom{\"a}nen oder den LB-Multilayern bestimmt. Eine lichtinduzierte Reorientierung kann nur erreicht werden, wenn diese Wechselwirkungen {\"u}berwunden werden k{\"o}nnen. Erfolgt eine Photoreorientierung in den orientierten Polymerschichten, werden in Copolymeren formanisotrope Seitengruppen ebenfalls kooperativ reorientiert. Eine vorgelagerte UV-Bestrahlung kann durch Erzeugung eines hohen Anteils an nicht-mesogenen Z-Isomeren die anisotropen Wechselwirkungen stark schw{\"a}chen und so die Seitengruppen entkoppeln. Aus diesem Zustand erfolgt die Photoreorientierung mit einer der Photoorientierung in isotropen Schichten vergleichbaren Effizienz. Die erarbeiteten Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen liefern einen Beitrag zur Optimierung derartiger Materialien f{\"u}r Anwendungen in den Bereichen optischer Funktionsschichten, holographischer Datenspeicherung oder der Generierung von Oberfl{\"a}chenreliefgittern.},

  abstract  = {In recent years, the aim of supramolecular syntheses is not only the creation of particular structures but also the introduction of specific functions in these supramolecules. The present work describes the use of the ionic self-assembly (ISA) route to generate nanostructured materials with integrated functionality. Since the ISA strategy has proved to be a facile method for the production of liquid-crystalline materials, we investigated the phase behaviour, physical properties and function of a variety of ISA materials comprising a perylene derivative as the employed oligoelectrolyte. Functionality was introduced into the materials through the use of functional surfactants. In order to meet the requirements to produce functional ISA materials through the use of functional surfactants, we designed and synthesized pyrrole-derived monomers as surfactant building blocks. Owing to the presence of the pyrrole moiety, these surfactants are not only polymerizable but are also potentially conductive when polymerized. We adopted single-tailed and double-tailed N-substituted pyrrole monomers as target molecules. Since routine characterization analysis of the double-tailed pyrrole-containing surfactant indicated very interesting, complex phase behaviour, a comprehensive investigation of its interfacial properties and mesophase behavior was conducted. The synthesized pyrrole-derived surfactants were then employed in the synthesis of ISA complexes. The self-assembled materials were characterized and subsequently polymerized by both chemical and electrochemical methods. The changes in the structure and properties of the materials caused by the in-situ polymerization were addressed. In the second part of this work, the motif investigated was a property rather than a function. Since chiral superstructures have obtained much attention during the last few years, we investigated the possibility of chiral ISA materials through the use of chiral surfactants. Thus, the work involved synthesis of novel chiral surfactants and their incorporation in ISA materials with the aim of obtaining ionically self-assembled chiral superstructures. The results and insights presented here suggest that the presented synthesis strategy can be easily extended to incorporate any kind of charged tectonic unit with desired optical, electrical, or magnetic properties into supramolecular assemblies for practical applications.},

  abstract  = {Neolignans, dehydrodimers of phenylpropenes, are natural products that exhibit different biological activities. 8,5'-Neolignans containing a trans- dihydrobenzofuran skeleton are the most abundant neolignans in nature. The published syntheses of trans-dihydrobenzofurans are multistep procedures that are time consuming and provide the product in low yield. Furthermore, all dimerisation reactions either in the presence of enzymes or mediated by metal salts are yielding dimers consisting of two units of the same phenylpropene compound, narrowing substantially the substitution pattern. Two different general synthetic approaches were examined. The first strategy was the enantioselective deprotonation at the α-carbon of the ο-alkyl phenols in the presence of a chiral diamine and sBuLi. Synthesis of several new phosphorous-based directed ortho-metalation groups was studied. The examined compounds having these new groups decomposed even under very mild reaction conditions and are not suitable for the application in the synthesis. The second strategy was to examine one [3+2] cycloaddition reaction, transition metal catalysed Heck oxyarylation reaction, in the synthetic approach to compounds having trans-dihydrobenzofuran skeleton. Palladium catalysed Heck oxyarylation reaction with halogenophenols or ortho-diazonium phenols as the starting material allowed the trans-dihydrobenzofuran compounds as the major products in acceptable yield and in one step. The products were formed under ligand free condition, as well as in the presence of some strong coordinating ligands (Ph3P). The experiments with several chiral ligands, showed that the obtained trans-dihydrobenzofurans were racemic mixtures. This result suggests formation of an achiral intermediate along the reaction pathway, which causes the lack of stereoselectivity in the products. Initially formed trans-dihydrobenzofuran compounds are the key precursors of many naturally occurring neolignans, and can be easily converted to 8,5'-neolignan derivatives.},

  abstract  = {Adsorption layers of soluble surfactants enable and govern a variety of phenomena in surface and colloidal sciences, such as foams. The ability of a surfactant solution to form wet foam lamellae is governed by the surface dilatational rheology. Only systems having a non-vanishing imaginary part in their surface dilatational modulus, E, are able to form wet foams. The aim of this thesis is to illuminate the dissipative processes that give rise to the imaginary part of the modulus. There are two controversial models discussed in the literature. The reorientation model assumes that the surfactants adsorb in two distinct states, differing in their orientation. This model is able to describe the frequency dependence of the modulus E. However, it assumes reorientation dynamics in the millisecond time regime. In order to assess this model, we designed a SHG pump-probe experiment that addresses the orientation dynamics. Results obtained reveal that the orientation dynamics occur in the picosecond time regime, being in strong contradiction with the two states model. The second model regards the interface as an interphase. The adsorption layer consists of a topmost monolayer and an adjacent sublayer. The dissipative process is due to the molecular exchange between both layers. The assessment of this model required the design of an experiment that discriminates between the surface compositional term and the sublayer contribution. Such an experiment has been successfully designed and results on elastic and viscoelastic surfactant provided evidence for the correctness of the model. Because of its inherent surface specificity, surface SHG is a powerful analytical tool that can be used to gain information on molecular dynamics and reorganization of soluble surfactants. They are central elements of both experiments. However, they impose several structural elements of the model system. During the course of this thesis, a proper model system has been identified and characterized. The combination of several linear and nonlinear optical techniques, allowed for a detailed picture of the interfacial architecture of these surfactants.},

  abstract  = {The Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) process using the new RAFT agent benzyldithiophenyl acetate is shown to be a powerful polymerization tool to synthesize novel well-defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers composed of the constant hydrophobic block poly(butyl acrylate) and of 6 different hydrophilic blocks with various polarities, namely a series of non-ionic, non-ionic comb-like, anionic and cationic hydrophilic blocks. The controlled character of the polymerizations was supported by the linear increase of the molar masses with conversion, monomodal molar mass distributions with low polydispersities and high degrees of end-group functionalization. The new macro-surfactants form micelles in water, whose size and geometry strongly depend on their composition, according to dynamic and static light scattering measurements. The micellization is shown to be thermodynamically favored, due to the high incompatibility of the blocks as indicated by thermal analysis of the block copolymers in bulk. The thermodynamic state in solution is found to be in the strong or super strong segregation limit. Nevertheless, due to the low glass transition temperature of the core-forming block, unimer exchange occurs between the micelles. Despite the dynamic character of the polymeric micellar systems, the aggregation behavior is strongly dependent on the history of the sample, i.e., on the preparation conditions. The aqueous micelles exhibit high stability upon temperature cycles, except for an irreversibly precipitating block copolymer containing a hydrophilic block exhibiting a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Their exceptional stability upon dilution indicates very low critical micelle concentrations (CMC) (below 4∙10<sup>-4 g∙L<sup>-1). All non-ionic copolymers with sufficiently long solvophobic blocks aggregated into direct micelles in DMSO, too. Additionally, a new low-toxic highly hydrophilic sulfoxide block enables the formation of inverse micelles in organic solvents. The high potential of the new polymeric surfactants for many applications is demonstrated, in comparison to reference surfactants. The diblock copolymers are weakly surface-active, as indicated by the graduate decrease of the surface tension of their aqueous solutions with increasing concentration. No CMC could be detected. Their surface properties at the air/water interface confer anti-foaming properties. The macro-surfactants synthesized are surface-active at the interface between two liquid phases, too, since they are able to stabilize emulsions. The polymeric micelles are shown to exhibit a high ability to solubilize hydrophobic substances in water.},

  abstract  = {Polymere sind zweifelsohne der Werkstoff in unserer Zeit. Ein bedeutender Anteil der heute industriell produzierten Polymere wird durch Emulsionspolymerisation hergestellt. Obwohl die Emulsionspolymerisation breite Anwendung findet, sind die involvierten Mechanismen von Teilchenbildung und -wachstum noch heute Gegenstand heftiger Kontroversen. Ein Spezialfall der Emulsionspolymerisation ist die emulgatorfreie Emulsionspolymerisation. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein scheinbar einfacheres System der Emulsionspolymerisation, weil diese Methode ohne Zusatz von Emulgatoren auskommt. Die Teilchenbildung ist ein fundamentaler Vorgang im Verlauf der Emulsionspolymerisation, da sie zur Ausbildung der polymeren Latexphase f{\"u}hrt. Detaillierte Kenntnisse zum Mechanismus der Nukleierung erm{\"o}glichen eine bessere Kontrolle des Reaktionsverlaufes und damit der Eigenschaften des Endproduktes der Emulsionspolymerisation, dem Polymer-Latex. Wie bereits vorangegangene Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisation von Styrol sowie Methylmethacrylat und Vinylacetat zeigen konnten, verl{\"a}uft die Teilchenbildung in diesen Systemen {\"u}ber den Mechanismus der aggregativen Nukleierung. Im Zusammenhang mit den Ergebnissen der genannten Arbeiten tauchte dabei immer wieder ein interessanter Effekt im Bereich der Partikelnukleierung auf. Dieses als JUMBO-Effekt bezeichnete Ph{\"a}nomen zeigte sich reproduzierbar in einem Anstieg der Transmission im Bereich der Teilchenbildung von emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisationen von Styrol, MMA und VAc. Nach der Initiierung der Polymerisation in einer w{\"a}ssrigen Monomerl{\"o}sung durch Kaliumperoxodisulfat steigt die Durchl{\"a}ssigkeit bei 546 nm auf {\"u}ber 100 \% an. F{\"u}r diese „Abnahme der optischen Dichte" wurden verschiedene Erkl{\"a}rungsm{\"o}glichkeiten vorgeschlagen, jedoch blieb ein Nachweis der Ursache f{\"u}r den JUMBO-Effekt bisher aus. Dieser Mangel an Aufkl{\"a}rung eines offenbar grundlegenden Ph{\"a}nomens in der emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisation bildet den „Nukleus" f{\"u}r die vorlie¬gende Arbeit. Durch die vorliegende Dissertation konnte das Verst{\"a}ndnis f{\"u}r Ph{\"a}nomene der Teilchenbildung in der emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisation von Styrol mit KPS erweitert werden. In diesem Rahmen wurde das Online-Monitoring des Polymerisationsvorganges verbessert und um verschiedene Methoden erweitert: Zur simultanen Erfassung von Tr{\"u}bungsdaten bei verschiedenen Wellenl{\"a}ngen konnte ein modernes Spektrometer in Kombination mit einer Lichtleitersonde in die Reaktionsapparatur integriert werden. Es wurde ein verbesserter Algorithmus zur Datenbearbeitung f{\"u}r die Partikelgr{\"o}ßenbestimmung mittels faseroptischer dynamischer Lichtstreuung entwickelt. Es wurden Online-Partikelgr{\"o}ßenanalysen mittels statischer Vielwinkellichtstreuung bei Polymerisationen direkt in entsprechenden Lichtstreuk{\"u}vetten durchgef{\"u}hrt. Diese zur Beschreibung des untersuchten Systems eingef{\"u}hrten Methoden sowie ein zeitlich vollst{\"a}ndiges Monitoring des gesamten Polymerisationsverlaufes, beginnend mit der Zugabe von Monomer zu Wasser, f{\"u}hrten zu neuen Erkenntnissen zur emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisation. Es wurden große Monomeraggregate, die sog. Nanotr{\"o}pfchen, in w{\"a}ssriger L{\"o}sung (emulgatorfrei) nachgewiesen. Diese Aggregate bilden sich spontan und treten verst{\"a}rkt in entgastem Wasser auf. Die Existenz von Nanotr{\"o}pfchen in Verbindung mit Tr{\"u}bungs- und gaschromatografischen Messungen l{\"a}sst auf eine molekular gel{\"o}ste „Wirkkonzentration" von Styrol in Wasser schließen, die bedeutend geringer ist als die absolute S{\"a}ttigungskonzentration. Es konnten Hinweise auf eine Reaktion h{\"o}herer Ordnung im System Wasser/Styrol/KPS gefunden werden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine pr{\"a}zise Einstellung der Nukleierungsdauer {\"u}ber die Zeit der Equilibrierung von Wasser mit Styrol m{\"o}glich ist. Der JUMBO-Effekt, dem in dieser Arbeit ein besonderes Interesse galt, konnte in gewisser Weise entmystifiziert werden. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Durchl{\"a}ssigkeit der Reaktionsmischung bereits beim L{\"o}sen von Styrol in Wasser durch Bildung von Styrolaggregaten abnimmt. Der darauf folgende kurzzeitige Transmissionsanstieg im Zusammenhang mit der Nukleierung erreicht dabei nicht mehr 100 \% des Referenzwertes von reinem Wasser. Alle experimentellen Daten sprechen f{\"u}r die Nanotr{\"o}pfchen als Ursache des JUMBO-Effekts. Wie die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, ist selbst das relativ „einfache" System der emulgatorfreien Emulsionspolymerisation komplizierter als angenommen. Die Existenz von großen Styrolaggregaten in w{\"a}ssriger L{\"o}sung erfordert eine neue Betrachtungsweise des Reaktionssystems, in die auch der L{\"o}sungszustand des Monomers mit einbezogen werden muss.},

  abstract  = {Immobilisierung bzw. Mobilisierung und Transport von Schadstoffen in der Umwelt, besonders in den Kompartimenten Boden und Wasser, sind von fundamentaler Bedeutung f{\"u}r unser ({\"U}ber)Leben auf der Erde. Einer der Hauptreaktionspartner f{\"u}r organische und anorganische Schadstoffe (Xenobiotika) in der Umwelt sind Huminstoffe (HS). HS sind Abbauprodukte pflanzlichen und tierischen Gewebes, die durch eine Kombination von chemischen und biologischen Ab- und Umbauprozessen entstehen. Bedingt durch ihre Genese stellen HS außerordentlich heterogene Stoffsysteme dar, die eine Palette von verschiedenartigen Wechselwirkungen mit Schadstoffen zeigen. Die Untersuchung der fundamentalen Wechselwirkungsmechanismen stellt ebenso wie deren quantitative Beschreibung h{\"o}chste Anforderungen an die Untersuchungsmethoden. Zur qualitativen und quantitativen Charakterisierung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen HS und Xenobiotika werden demnach analytische Methoden ben{\"o}tigt, die bei der Untersuchung von extrem heterogenen Systemen aussagekr{\"a}ftige Daten zu liefern verm{\"o}gen. Besonders spektroskopische Verfahren, wie z.B. lumineszenz-basierte Verfahren, besitzen neben der hervorragenden Selektivit{\"a}t und Sensitivit{\"a}t, auch eine Multidimensionalit{\"a}t (bei der Lumineszenz sind es die Beobachtungsgr{\"o}ßen Intensit{\"a}t IF, Anregungswellenl{\"a}nge lex, Emissionswellenl{\"a}nge lem und Fluoreszenzabklingzeit tF), die es gestattet, auch heterogene Systeme wie HS direkt zu untersuchen. Zur Charakterisierung k{\"o}nnen sowohl die intrinsischen Fluoreszenzeigenschaften der HS als auch die von speziell eingef{\"u}hrten Lumineszenzsonden verwendet werden. In beiden F{\"a}llen werden die zu Grunde liegenden fundamentalen Konzepte der Wechselwirkungen von HS mit Xenobiotika untersucht und charakterisiert. F{\"u}r die intrinsische Fluoreszenz der HS konnte gezeigt werden, dass neben molekularen Strukturen besonders die Verkn{\"u}pfung der Fluorophore im Gesamt-HS-Molek{\"u}l von Bedeutung ist. Konformative Freiheit und die Nachbarschaft zu als Energieakzeptor fungierenden HS-eigenen Gruppen sind wichtige Komponenten f{\"u}r die Charakteristik der HS-Fluoreszenz. Die L{\"o}schung der intrinsischen Fluoreszenz durch Metallkomplexierung ist demnach auch das Resultat der ver{\"a}nderten konformativen Freiheit der HS durch die gebundenen Metallionen. Es zeigte sich, dass abh{\"a}ngig vom Metallion sowohl L{\"o}schung als auch Verst{\"a}rkung der intrinsischen HS-Fluoreszenz beobachtet werden kann. Als extrinsische Lumineszenzsonden mit wohl-charakterisierten photophysikalischen Eigenschaften wurden polyzyklische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe und Lanthanoid-Ionen eingesetzt. Durch Untersuchungen bei sehr niedrigen Temperaturen (10 K) konnte erstmals die Mikroumgebung von an HS gebundenen hydrophoben Xenobiotika untersucht werden. Im Vergleich mit Raumtemperaturexperimenten konnte gezeigt werden, dass hydrophobe Xenobiotika an HS-gebunden in einer Mikroumgebung, die in ihrer Polarit{\"a}t analog zu kurzkettigen Alkoholen ist, vorliegen. F{\"u}r den Fall der Metallkomplexierung wurden Energietransferprozesse zwischen HS und Lanthanoidionen bzw. zwischen verschiedenen, gebundenen Lanthanoidionen untersucht. Basierend auf diesen Messungen k{\"o}nnen Aussagen {\"u}ber die beteiligten elektronischen Zust{\"a}nde der HS einerseits und Entfernungen von Metallbindungsstellen in HS selbst angeben werden. Es ist dabei zu beachten, dass die Experimente in L{\"o}sung bei realen Konzentrationen durchgef{\"u}hrt wurden.

  abstract  = {Understanding the principles of self-organisation exhibited by block copolymers requires the combination of synthetic and physicochemical knowledge. The ability to synthesise block copolymers with desired architecture facilitates the ability to manipulate their aggregation behaviour, thus providing the key to nanotechnology. Apart from relative block volumes, the size and morphology of the produced nanostructures is controlled by the effective incompatibility between the different blocks. Since polymerisation techniques allowing for the synthesis of well-defined block copolymers are restricted to a limited number of monomers, the ability to tune the incompatibility is very limited. Nevertheless, Polymer Analogue Reactions can offer another possibility for the production of functional block copolymers by chemical modifications of well-defined polymer precursors. Therefore, by applying appropriate modification methods both volume fractions and incompatibility, can be adjusted. Moreover, copolymers with introduced functional units allow utilization of the concept of molecular recognition in the world of synthetic polymers. The present work describes a modular synthetic approach towards functional block copolymers. Radical addition of functional mercaptanes was employed for the introduction of diverse functional groups to polybutadiene-containing block copolymers. Various modifications of 1,2-polybutadiene-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer precursors are described in detail. Furthermore, extension of the concept to 1,2-polybutadiene-polystyrene block copolymers is demonstrated. Further investigations involved the self-organisation of the modified block copolymers. Formed aggregates in aqueous solutions of block copolymers with introduced carboxylic acid, amine and hydroxyl groups as well as fluorinated chains were characterised. Study of the aggregation behaviour allowed general conclusions to be drawn regarding the influence of the introduced groups on the self-organisation of the modified copolymers. Finally, possibilities for the formation of complexes, based on electrostatic or hydrogen-bonding interactions in mixtures of block copolymers bearing mutually interacting functional groups, were investigated.},

  abstract  = {In this work, the nonaqueous synthesis of binary and ternary metal oxide nanoparticles is investigated for a number of technologically important materials. A strong focus was put on studying the reaction mechanisms leading to particle formation upon solvothermal treatment of the precursors, as an understanding of the formation processes is expected to be crucial for a better control of the systems, offering the potential to tailor particle size and morphology. The synthesis of BaTiO3 was achieved by solvothermal reaction of metallic barium and titanium isopropoxide in organic solvents. Phase-pure, highly crystalline particles about 6 nm in size resulted in benzyl alcohol, whereas larger particles could be obtained in ketones such as acetone or acetophenone. In benzyl alcohol, a novel mechanism was found to lead to BaTiO3, involving a C-C coupling step between the isopropoxide ligand and the benzylic carbon of the solvent. The resulting coupling product, 4-phenyl-2-butanol, is found in almost stoichiometric yield. The particle formation in ketones proceeds via a Ti-mediated aldol condensation of the solvent, involving formal elimination of water which induces formation of the oxide. These processes also occurred when reacting solely the titanium alkoxide with ketones or aldehydes, leading to highly crystalline anatase nanoparticles for all tested solvents. In ketones, also the synthesis of nanopowders of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) was achieved, which were initially amorphous but could be crystallized by calcination at moderate temperatures. Additionally, PZT films were prepared by simply casting a suspension of the powder onto Si substrates followed by calcination.Solvothermal synthesis however is not restricted to alkoxides as precursors but is also achieved from metal acetylacetonates. The use of benzylamine as solvent proved particularly versatile, making possible the synthesis of nanocrystalline In2O3, Ga2O3, ZnO and iron oxide from the respective acetylacetonates. During the synthesis, the acetylacetonate ligand undergoes a solvolysis under C-C cleavage, resulting in metal-bound enolate ligands which, in analogy to the synthesis in ketones, induce ketimine and aldol condensation reactions. In the last section of this work, surface functionalization of anatase nanoparticles is explored. The particles were first capped with various organic ligands via a facile in situ route, which resulted in altered properties such as enhanced dispersibility in various solvents. In a second step, short functional oligopeptide segments were attached to the particles by means of a catechol linker to achieve advanced self-assembly properties.},

  abstract  = {Reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) was used as a controlling technique for studying the aqueous heterophase polymerization. The polymerization rates obtained by calorimetric investigation of ab initio emulsion polymerization of styrene revealed the strong influence of the type and combination of the RAFT agent and initiator on the polymerization rate and its profile. The studies in all-glass reactors on the evolution of the characteristic data such as average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and average particle size during the polymerization revealed the importance of the peculiarities of the heterophase system such as compartmentalization, swelling, and phase transfer. These results illustrated the important role of the water solubility of the initiator in determining the main loci of polymerization and the crucial role of the hydrophobicity of the RAFT agent for efficient transportation to the polymer particles. For an optimum control during ab-initio batch heterophase polymerization of styrene with RAFT, the RAFT agent must have certain hydrophilicity and the initiator must be water soluble in order to minimize reactions in the monomer phase. An analytical method was developed for the quantitative measurements of the sorption of the RAFT agents to the polymer particles based on the absorption of the visible light by the RAFT agent. Polymer nanoparticles, temperature, and stirring were employed to simulate the conditions of a typical aqueous heterophase polymerization system. The results confirmed the role of the hydrophilicity of the RAFT agent on the effectiveness of the control due to its fast transportation to the polymer particles during the initial period of polymerization after particle nucleation. As the presence of the polymer particles were essential for the transportation of the RAFT agents into the polymer dispersion, it was concluded that in an ab initio emulsion polymerization the transport of the hydrophobic RAFT agent only takes place after the nucleation and formation of the polymer particles. While the polymerization proceeds and the particles grow the rate of the transportation of the RAFT agent increases with conversion until the free monomer phase disappears. The degradation of the RAFT agent by addition of KPS initiator revealed unambigueous evidence on the mechanism of entry in heterophase polymerization. These results showed that even extremely hydrophilic primary radicals, such as sulfate ion radical stemming from the KPS initiator, can enter the polymer particles without necessarily having propagated and reached a certain chain length. Moreover, these results recommend the employment of azo-initiators instead of persulfates for the application in seeded heterophase polymerization with RAFT agents. The significant slower rate of transportation of the RAFT agent to the polymer particles when its solvent (styrene) was replaced with a more hydrophilic monomer (methyl methacrylate) lead to the conclusion that a complicated cooperative and competitive interplay of solubility parameters and interaction parameter with the particles exist, determining an effective transportation of the organic molecules to the polymer particles through the aqueous phase. The choice of proper solutions of even the most hydrophobic organic molecules can provide the opportunity of their sorption into the polymer particles. Examples to support this idea were given by loading the extremely stiff fluorescent molecule, pentacene, and very hydrophobic dye, Sudan IV, into the polymer particles. Finally, the first application of RAFT at room temperature heterophase polymerization is reported. The results show that the RAFT process is effective at ambient temperature; however, the rate of fragmentation is significantly slower. The elevation of the reaction temperature in the presence of the RAFT agent resulted in faster polymerization and higher molar mass, suggesting that the fragmentation rate coefficient and its dependence on the temperature is responsible for the observed retardation.},

  abstract  = {The interactions between peptides and lipids are of fundamental importance in the functioning of numerous membrane-mediated biochemical processes including antimicrobial peptide action, hormone-receptor interactions, drug bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier and viral fusion processes. Alteration of peptide structure could be a cause of many diseases. Biological membranes are complex systems, therefore simplified models may be introduced in order to understand processes occurring in nature. The lipid monolayers at the air/water interface are suitable model systems to mimic biological membranes since many parameters can be easily controlled. In the present work the lipid monolayers were used as a model membrane and their interactions with two different peptides B18 and Amyloid beta (1-40) peptide were investigated. B18 is a synthetic peptide that binds to lipid membranes that leads to the membrane fusion. It was demonstrated that it adopts different structures in the aqueous solutions and in the membrane interior. It is unstructured in solutions and forms alpha-helix at the air/water interface or in the membrane bound state. The peptide has affinity to the negatively charged lipids and even can fold into beta-sheet structure in the vicinity of charged membranes at high peptide to lipid ratio. It was elucidated that in the absence of electrostatic interactions B18 does not influence on the lipid structure, whereas it provides partial liquidization of the negatively charged lipids. The understanding of mechanism of the peptide action in model system may help to develop the new type of antimicrobial peptides as well as it can shed light on the general mechanisms of peptide/membrane binding. The other studied peptide - Amyloid beta (1-40) peptide, which is the major component of amyloid plaques found in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Normally the peptide is soluble and is not toxic. During aging or as a result of the disease it aggregates and shows a pronounced neurotoxicity. The peptide aggregation involves the conformational transition from a random coil or alpha-helix to beta-sheets. Recently it was demonstrated that the membrane can play a crucial role for the peptide aggregation and even more the peptide can cause the change in the cell membranes that leads to a neuron death. In the present studies the structure of the membrane bound Amyloid beta peptide was elucidated. It was found that the peptide adopts the beta-sheet structure at the air/water interface or being adsorbed on lipid monolayers, while it can form alpha-helical structure in the presence of the negatively charged vesicles. The difference between the monolayer system and the bulk system with vesicles is the peptide to lipid ratio. The peptide adopts the helical structure at low peptide to lipid ratio and folds into beta-sheet at high ratio. Apparently, Abeta peptide accumulation in the brain is concentration driven. Increasing concentration leads to a change in the lipid to peptide ratio that induces the beta-sheet formation. The negatively charged lipids can act as seeds in the plaque formation, the peptide accumulates on the membrane and when the peptide to lipid ratio increases it the peptide forms toxic beta-sheet containing aggregates.},

  abstract  = {Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Entwicklung neuer Substanzen f{\"u}r die Gentherapie. Diese beinhaltet die Behebung von erblich bedingten Krankheiten wie z.B. Mucoviscidose. Dabei werden im Zellkern defekte Gene durch normale, gesunde DNA-Sequenzen ersetzt. Zur Einschleusung des Genmaterials in die Zellen (Transfektion) werden geeignete Transport-Systeme bzw. Methoden ben{\"o}tigt, die dort die Freisetzung der neu einzubauenden Gene (Genexpression ausgedr{\"u}ckt in Transfektionseffizienzen) gestatten. Hierf{\"u}r wurden neue Polykation-DNA-Komplexe (Vektoren) auf Basis kationischer Polymere wie Poly(ethylenimin) (PEI) hergestellt, charakterisiert und nachfolgend in Transfektionsversuchen an verschiedenen Zelllinien eingesetzt. Sowohl das kationische Ausgangspolymer PEI als auch das Pfropfcopolymer PEI-g-PEO (PEO-Seitenketten zur Erh{\"o}hung der Biokompatibilit{\"a}t) wurden mit Rezeptorliganden modifiziert, um eine verbesserte und spezifische Transfektion an ausgesuchten Zellen zu erreichen. Als Liganden wurden Fols{\"a}ure (Transfektion an HeLa-Zellen), Triiod-L-thyronin (HepG2-Zellen) und die Urons{\"a}uren der Galactose, Mannose, Glucose sowie die Lactobions{\"a}ure (HeLa-, HepG2- und 16HBE-Zellen) verwendet. Das PEI, die Pfropfcopolymere PEI-g-PEO und die Ligand-funktionalisierten Copolymere wurden hinsichtlich ihrer chemischen Zusammensetzung und molekularen Parameter charakterisiert. Die Molmassenuntersuchungen mittels Gr{\"o}ßenausschlusschromatographie zeigten, dass nach der Synthese unterschiedliche Polymerfraktionen mit nicht einheitlicher chemischer Zusammensetzung vorlagen. Die anschließenden Transfektionsversuche wurden mit Hilfe einer speziellen DNA (Luciferase) an den Zelllinien HepG2 (Leberkrebszellen), HeLa (Geb{\"a}rmutterhalskrebszellen) und 16HBE (Atemwegsepithelzellen) durchgef{\"u}hrt. Die T3(Triiod-L-thyronin)-Vektoren zeigten in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit vom eingesetzten Komplexverh{\"a}ltnis Polykation/DNA ein Maximum in der Transfektion an HepG2-Zellen. Die Hypothese der rezeptorvermittelten Endozytose ließ sich durch entsprechende T3-{\"U}berschuss-Experimente und Fluoreszenzmikroskopie-Untersuchungen best{\"a}tigen. Dagegen konnte bei den Fols{\"a}ure-Vektoren keine rezeptorvermittelte Endozytose beobachtet werden. Bei den Vektoren mit Mannurons{\"a}ure-Ligand (Man) konnte an allen drei Zelllinien (HepG2, HeLa, 16HBE) eine konstante, hohe Transfereffizienz nachgewiesen werden. Sie waren bei allen eingesetzten Polymer-DNA-Verh{\"a}ltnissen effizienter als der Vergleichsvektor PEI. Dieses Transfektionsverhalten ließ sich durch Blockierung der Zuckerstruktur unterbinden. In Transfektionsexperimenten mit einem {\"U}berschuss an freier Mannurons{\"a}ure und fluoreszenzmikroskopischen Untersuchungen konnte eine rezeptorvermittelte Endozytose der Man-Vektoren an den o.g. Zelllinien nachgewiesen werden. Die anderen Urons{\"a}ure-Konjugate zeigten keine signifikanten Abweichungen im Transfektionsverhalten im Vergleich zum PEI-Vektor.},
