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.}, subject = {Tensid}, language = {en} } @article{AndersenPeterRoepstorff1996, author = {Andersen, S.

After exposure to excitation light encoded in n different ways, the 2-dimensional excitation-emission-matrix (EEM) spectrum is obtained by inverse Hadamard transformation. Using this technique we examined the kinetics of the fluorescence of rhodamine B as a function of temperature and the acid-driven demetalation of chlorophyll into pheophytin-a.

Sie gestatten die Verbreitung großer Datenmengen {\"u}ber Entfernungen bis zu ca. 100 m, ohne eine Beeinflussung durch externe elektromagnetischen Feldern. Jedoch reagieren die Fasern und somit auch ihre optischen Eigenschaften aufgrund des organischchemischen Faseraufbaus empfindlich auf das Klima ihrer Umgebung. Die Ursachen f{\"u}r die Abnahme der optischen Transmission aufgrund von klimatischen Einfl{\"u}ssen (Alterung, Degradation) werden mittels chemisch analytischer Verfahren wie Chemilumineszenz (CL) und Fourier Transform Infrarot (FTIR) Spektroskopie untersucht. Dabei kommen f{\"u}nf, von verschiedenen Herstellern bezogene, Multimode- POFs aus PMMA in sieben verschiedenen Klimaten zum Einsatz. Drei dieser f{\"u}nf POFs werden genauer untersucht, um den Einfluss einzelner Parameter festzustellen und optische Langzeitstabilit{\"a}t aufgrund von Kurzzeittests vorherzusagen. Als erstes erfolgt eine Kennzeichnung unbeanspruchter POF Komponenten (Kern, Mantel und nackte POF als Kombination von Kern und Mantel) {\"u}ber ihre physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften. Die Glas- und die Schmelztemperaturen liegen im Bereich von 120 °C bis 140 °C, das Molekulargewicht des Kerns bei gr{\"o}ßenordnungsm{\"a}ßig 105 g mol-1 ;. FTIR-Messungen zeigen zwar Unterschiede in der chemischen Zusammensetzung der M{\"a}ntel aber keine Unterschiede bei den Kernen. Bei zwei der POF Proben , die als Kabel (Kern, Mantel und Schutzh{\"u}lle) f{\"u}r 3300 Stunden einem Klima aus 92 °C und 95 \% relativer Feuchte (r.F.) ausgesetzt waren, verringern sich daraufhin die optische Transmissionen in unterschiedlicher Weise. Die Untersuchung der zugeh{\"o}rigen nackten POFs mittels CL, FTIR, Thermogravimetrie (TG), UV/VIS und Gel Permeation Chromatographie (GPC) l{\"a}sst eine st{\"a}rkere Sch{\"a}digung der M{\"a}ntel als der Kerne vermuten. Wahrscheinlich f{\"u}hrt eine starke Manteldegradation zu einer erh{\"o}hten Absorption und Fehlstellen im Mantel und damit zu einer Transmissionsabnahme. Daher scheint die optische Stabilit{\"a}t der POF st{\"a}rker durch die thermo-oxidative Stabilit{\"a}t des Mantels bestimmt zu sein als durch die des Kernes. Drei nackte POFs (Kern und Mantel) sind unterschiedlich lang (30 Stunden bis 3000 Stunden) folgenden Klimaten ausgesetzt: 92 °C / 95 \% r.F., 92 °C / 50 \% r.F., 50 °C / 95 \% r.F., 90 °C / geringe Feuchte, 100 °C / geringe Feuchte, 110 °C / geringe Feuchte and 120 °C / geringe Feuchte. Auch in diesen Klimaten ergaben sich probenbedingte unterschiedliche Transmissions{\"a}nderungen. Die Ergebnisse deuten stark darauf hin, dass bei gleichzeitig hoher Temperatur und hoher Feuchte physikalische {\"A}nderungen wie die Volumenausdehnung die Hauptursachen f{\"u}r die Abnahme der optischen Transmission bilden. Ein weiterer Einflussfaktor ist die chemische Zusammensetzung der M{\"a}ntel. Bei Kombination von hoher Temperatur und geringer Feuchte erzeugen in den Anfangsstadien der Alterung physikalische {\"A}nderungen Transmissionsabnahmen, vermutlich entstehen Fehlstellen in der Kern-Mantel-Grenzschicht. Hinzukommen in den sp{\"a}teren Stadien wahrscheinlich zunehmende Lichtabsorption in Kern und Mantel. L. Jankowski (Doktorand in der BAM) best{\"a}tigt diese Annahme durch parallel ausgef{\"u}hrte optische Simulationsrechnungen. Auch f{\"u}r nackte POFs scheint also die thermo-oxidative Stabilit{\"a}t die optische Stabilit{\"a}t zu bestimmen. Kurzzeitalterungstests sollen Aufschluss {\"u}ber den Einfluss individueller Klimaparameter auf die POF Eigenschaften geben. Es zeigt sich bei dauerhaft hoher Temperatur und variabler Feuchte aufgrund des physikalisch absorbierten Wassers bis zu einem gewissen Grad ein reversibles Verhalten des Transmissionsverlustes. Dieses Verhalten tritt aber nur kaum merkbar auf, wenn bei konstanter hoher Feuchte die Temperatur variiert wird. Bei Raumtemperatur und variabler Feuchte stellt sich jedoch ein voll reversibles Verhalten des Transmissionsverlustes ein. Die hier beschriebenen Untersuchungen sind als Ausgangspunkt f{\"u}r weitergehende Forschungen zu verstehen. Die begrenzte Zurverf{\"u}gungstellung von POF Basisdaten durch die Hersteller und der zeitaufwendige klimabedingte Alterungsprozess beschr{\"a}nken die Ergebnisse mehr oder weniger auf die untersuchten Proben. Signifikante allgemeine Aussagen erfordern aber beispielsweise zus{\"a}tzliche statistische Daten der Produktionsschwankungen von POF Eigenschaften.

Concentrated aqueous solutions containing 25 wt \% polymer were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS). DSC measurements show that, during the demixing phase transition, the hydration number per oligo(ethylene glycol) side chain in the PS-b-PMDEGA solution decreases rather gradually, even up to 20 °C above the onset of the transition, i.e., the cloud point (CP). In contrast, the PS-b-PNIPAM solution exhibits an abrupt, stepwise dehydration behavior at its CP, indicated by the sharp, narrow endothermic peak. BDS measurements suggest that the organization of the expelled water during the phase transition and the subsequent evolution of the micellar aggregates are different for the two copolymers. In the PS-b-PMDEGA solution, the long-range charge transport process changes significantly at its CP and strong interfacial polarization processes appear, probably due to charge accumulation at the interfaces between the micellar aggregates and the aqueous medium. On the contrary, in the PS-b-PNIPAM solution, the phase transition has only a marginal effect on the long-range conduction process and is accompanied by a reduction in the high-frequency (1 MHz) dielectric permittivity, ε′. The latter effect is attributed to the reduced polarization strength of local chain modes due to an enhancement of intra- and interchain hydrogen bonds (HBs) in the polymer-rich phase during the water detaching process. Surprisingly, our BDS measurements indicate that prior to both the demixing and remixing processes the local chain mobility increases temporally. Our dielectric studies suggest that for PS-b-PNIPAM the water detaching process initiates a few degrees below CP and that the local chain mobility and intra- and/or interchain HBs of the PNIPAM blocks may control its thermoresponsive behavior. Dielectric "jump" experiments show that the kinetics of micellar aggregation in the PS-b-PMDEGA solution is slower than that in the PS-b-PNIPAM solution and is independent of the target temperature within the two-phase region. From the experimental point of view, it is shown that the dielectric susceptibility, especially, the dielectric permittivity, ε′, is a well-suited probe for monitoring both the reversible changes in the molecular dipolar bond polarizability and the long-range interfacial polarization at the phase transition.}, language = {en} } @article{AriasFeuerbachSchmidtetal.2018, author = {Arias, Hugo R. and Feuerbach, Dominik and Schmidt, Bernd and Heydenreich, Matthias and Paz, Cristian and Ortells, Marcelo O.}, title = {Drimane Sesquiterpenoids Noncompetitively Inhibit Human alpha 4 beta 2 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors with Higher Potency Compared to Human alpha 3 beta 4 and alpha 7 Subtypes}, series = {Journal of natural products}, volume = {81}, journal = {Journal of natural products}, number = {4}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0163-3864}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jnatprod.7b00893}, pages = {811 -- 817}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The drimane sesquiterpenoids drimenin, cinnamolide, dendocarbin A, and polygodial were purified from the Canelo tree (Drimys winteri) and chemically characterized by spectroscopic methods.

The results established that drimane sesquiterpenoids inhibit AChRs with the following selectivity: hα4β2 > hα3β4 > hα7. In the case of hα4β2 AChRs, the following potency rank order was determined (IC50's in μM): drimenin (0.97 ± 0.35) > cinnamolide (1.57 ± 0.36) > polygodial (62.5 ± 19.9) ≫ dendocarbin A (no activity). To determine putative structural features underlying the differences in inhibitory potency at hα4β2 AChRs, additional structure-activity relationship and molecular docking experiments were performed. The Ca2+ influx and structural results supported a noncompetitive mechanism of inhibition, where drimenin interacted with luminal and nonluminal (TMD-β2 intrasubunit) sites. The structure-activity relationship results, i.e., the lower the ligand polarity, the higher the inhibitory potency, supported the nonluminal interaction.

Monte Carlo simulations have revealed that the rate constant of the formation of electron-hole bound states depends on the random encounter of opposite charges and is nearly given by the Langevin equation for the domain sizes relevant to efficient bulk heterojunction systems. Recently, three studies :suggested that charge transfer states dissociating much faster than their decay rate to the ground state, can result in reduced bimolecular recombination by lowering the recombination rate to the ground state as a loss pathway. A separate study identified another loss pathway and suggested that forbidden back electron transfer from triplet charge transfer states to triplet excitons is a key to achieving reduced recombination. Herein we further explain the reduced bimolecular recombination by investigating the limitations of these two proposals. By solving kinetic rate equations for a BHJ system with realistic rates, we show that both of these previously presented conditions must only be held at the same time fora system to exhibit non-Langevin behavior. We demonstrate that suppression of both of the parallel loss channels of singlet and triplet states can be achieved through increasing the dissociation rate of the charge transfer states; a crucial requirement to achieve a high charge carrier extraction efficiency.}, language = {en} } @book{ArndtArnoldBelter2000, author = {Arndt, Barbara and Arnold, Karin and Belter, Heinz}, title = {Chemie : Stoffe, Reaktionen, Umwelt ; Ausgabe Sachsen-Anhalt, Sekundarschule, 7/8, Lehrbuch}, editor = {Meyendorf, Gerhard}, publisher = {Volk und Wissen}, address = {Berlin}, year = {2000}, language = {de} } @book{ArndtArnoldBelter2000, author = {Arndt, Barbara and Arnold, Karin and Belter, Heinz}, title = {Chemie : Stoffe, Reaktionen, Umwelt ; Ausgabe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Realschule, 10, Lehrbuch}, editor = {Meyendorf, Gerhard}, publisher = {Volk und Wissen}, address = {Berlin}, pages = {116 S.}, year = {2000}, language = {de} } @article{ArotcarenaHeiseIshayaetal.2002, author = {Arotcarena, Michel and Heise, Bettina and Ishaya, Sultana and Laschewsky, Andr{\´e}}, title = {Switching the inside and the outside of aggregates of water-soluble block copolymers with double thermoresponsivity}, year = {2002}, abstract = {Water-soluble block copolymers were prepared from the non-ionic monomer N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and the zwitterionic monomer 3-[N-(3-methacrylamidopropyl)-N,N-dimethyl]-ammonio propane sulfonate (SPP) by sequential free radical polymerization via the RAFT process.

Moreover, the applicability of using heterologously expressed oxygen binding proteins and fluorescent proteins to determine changes in the cellular oxygen concentration are discussed as potential non-invasive cellular oxygen reporters.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Ast2012, author = {Ast, Sandra}, title = {Integration of the 1,2,3-Triazole "Click" motif as a potent signalling element into metal ion responsive fluorescent probes for physiological cations}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {137 S.}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @misc{AstFischerMuelleretal.2013, author = {Ast, Sandra and Fischer, Tobias and M{\"u}ller, Holger and Mickler, Wulfhard and Schwichtenberg, Mathias and Rurack, Knut and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Integration of the 1,2,3-Triazole "Click" Motif as a potent signalling element in metal ion responsive fluorescent probes}, series = {Chemistry - a European journal}, volume = {19}, journal = {Chemistry - a European journal}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0947-6539}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201201575}, pages = {2990 -- 3005}, year = {2013}, abstract = {In a systematic approach we synthesized a new series of fluorescent probes incorporating donoracceptor (D-A) substituted 1,2,3-triazoles as conjugative -linkers between the alkali metal ion receptor N-phenylaza-[18]crown-6 and different fluorophoric groups with different electron-acceptor properties (4-naphthalimide, meso-phenyl-BODIPY and 9-anthracene) and investigated their performance in organic and aqueous environments (physiological conditions).

Dazu wurde zun{\"a}chst die RBRV-Sequenz optimiert. Diese aus drei Schritten bestehende Sequenz konnte in einem Eintopf-Verfahren angewendet werden. Die Ringschlussmetathese gelang mit einer Katalysatorbeladung von 1 mol\% des GRUBBS-Katalysators der zweiten Generation in Dichlormethan. F{\"u}r die baseninduzierte Ring{\"o}ffnung des β,γ-unges{\"a}ttigten δ Valerolactons wurde NaHMDS verwendet. Die Alkylierung der Carboxylatspezies gelang mit dem MEERWEIN-Reagenz. Die Anwendbarkeit der Sequenz wurde f{\"u}r verschiedene Substrate demonstriert. Die Erweiterung der Methode auf α-substituierte Butenoate unterlag starken Einschr{\"a}nkungen. So konnte der Zugang f{\"u}r α Hydroxyderivate realisiert werden. Bei der Anwendung der RBRV-Sequenz auf die α-substituierten Butenoate wurde festgestellt, dass diese sich nur in moderaten Ausbeuten umsetzen ließen und zudem nicht selektiv zu den (2E,4E)-konfigurierten α-substituierten-Dienestern reagierten. Der Einsatz von Eninen unter den Standardbedingungen der RBRV-Sequenz gelang nicht. Erst nach Modifizierung der Sequenz (h{\"o}here Katalysatorbeladung, Wechsel des L{\"o}sungsmittels) konnten die [3]Dendralen-Produkte in geringen Ausbeuten erhalten werden. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde der Einsatz von (2Z,4E)-Diencarbons{\"a}ureethylestern in der Totalsynthese von Naturstoffen untersucht. Dazu wurden zun{\"a}chst die Transformationsm{\"o}glichkeiten der Ester gepr{\"u}ft. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich (2Z,4E)-Diencarbons{\"a}ureethylester insbesondere zur Synthese von (2Z,4E)-Aldehyden sowie zum Aufbau der (3Z,5E)-Dien-1-in-Struktur eignen. Anhand dieser Ergebnisse wurde im Anschluss die RBRV-Sequenz in der Totalsynthese eingesetzt. Dazu wurde zun{\"a}chst der (2Z,4E)-Dienester Microsphaerodiolin in seiner ersten Totalsynthese auf drei verschiedene Routen hergestellt. Im Anschluss wurden sechs verschiedene Polyacetylene mit einer (3Z,5E)-Dien-1-in-Einheit hergestellt. Schl{\"u}sselschritte in ihrer Synthese waren immer die RBRV-Sequenz zum Aufbau der Z,E-Dien-Einheit, die Transformation des Esters in ein terminales Alkin sowie die CADIOT-CHODKIEWICZ-Kupplung zum Aufbau unsymmetrischer Polyine. Alle sechs Polyacetylene wurden zum ersten Mal in einer Totalsynthese synthetisiert. Drei Polyacetylene wurden ausgehend von (S)-Butantriol enantiomerenrein dargestellt.

It is useful to calculate these equilibrium properties from quantum chemical methods in order to address the experimental differences. Furthermore, most standard calculation methods differ in accuracy and feasibility of the system size. Hence, asystematic comparison of equilibrium properties calculated with different numerical algorithms would provide a useful reference. We select two well-known gas phase equilibrium reactions with small molecules: covalent dimer formation of NO2 (2NO(2) reversible arrow N2O4) and the synthesis of NH3 (N-2 + 3 H-2 reversible arrow 2NH(3)). We test four quantum chemical methods denoted by G3B3, CBS-APNO, W1 and CCSD(T) with aug-cc-pVXZ basis sets (X = 2, 3, and 4), to obtain thermochemical data for NO2, N2O4, and NH3. The calculated standard formation Gibbs energies Delta(f)G degrees are used to calculate standard reaction Gibbs energies Delta(r)G degrees and standard equilibrium constants K-eq for the two reactions. Standard formation enthalpies Delta H-f degrees are calculated in a more reliable way using high-level methods such as W1 and CCSD(T). Standard entropies S degrees for the molecules are calculated well within the range of experiments for all methods, however, the values of standard formation Gibbs energies Delta(f)G degrees show some dependence on the choice of the method. High-level methods perform better for the calculation of molecular energies, however, simpler methods such as G3B3 and CBS-APNO perform quite well in the calculation of total reaction energies and equilibrium constants, provided that the chemical species involved do not exhibit molecular geometries that are difficult to handle by the applied method. The temperature dependence of standard reaction Gibbs energy Delta(r)G degrees for the NH3 reaction is discussed by using the calculated standard formation Gibbs energies Delta(f)G degrees of the reaction species at 298.15 K.

Mit Hilfe von umfangreichen Experimenten zur Funktionalisierung der 4-Position, konnte zudem gezeigt werden, dass die Substitution der nucleophilen Cycloallen-Intermediate, w{\"a}hrend der PDDA-Reaktion, generell durch die Zugabe von N-Halogen-Succinimiden m{\"o}glich ist. In Anbetracht der geringen Ausbeuten haben diese intermolekularen Abfangreaktionen, jedoch keinen pr{\"a}parativen Nutzen f{\"u}r die Totalsynthesen von Lignanen. Mit dem Ziel die allgemeinen photochemischen Reaktionsbedingungen zu optimieren, wurde erstmalig die triplettsensibilisierte PDDA-Reaktion vorgestellt. Durch die Verwendung von Xanthon als Sensibilisator wurde der Einsatz von effizienteren UVA-Lichtquellen erm{\"o}glicht, wodurch die Gefahr einer Photozersetzung durch {\"U}berbestrahlung minimiert wurde. Im Vergleich zur direkten Anregung mit UVB-Strahlung, konnten die Ausbeuten mit indirekter Anregung durch einen Photokatalysator signifikant gesteigert werden. Die grundlegenden Erkenntnisse und die entwickelten Synthesestrategien dieser Arbeit, k{\"o}nnen dazu beitragen zuk{\"u}nftig die Erschließung neuer pharmakologisch interessanter Lignane voranzutreiben. 1 Bisher ist nur die semisynthetische Darstellung von Noralashinol C ausgehend von Hydroxymatairesinol literaturbekannt.}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Bagdahn2021, author = {Bagdahn, Christian}, title = {Synthese und Charakterisierung von Polymerionogelen basierend auf ionischen Fl{\"u}ssigkeiten und Polymethylmethacrylat}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53287}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-532874}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {152}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Zentrales Element dieser Arbeit ist die Synthese und Charakterisierung praktisch nutzbarer Ionogele. Die Basis der Polymerionogele bildet das Modellpolymer Polymethylmethacrylat. Als Additive kommen ionische Fl{\"u}ssigkeiten zum Einsatz, deren Grundlage Derivate des vielfach verwendeten Imidazoliumkations sind. Die Eigenschaften der eingebetteten ionischen Fl{\"u}ssigkeiten sind f{\"u}r die Ionogele funktionsgebend. Die Funktionalit{\"a}t der jeweiligen Gele und damit der Transfer der Eigenschaften von ionischen Fl{\"u}ssigkeiten auf die Ionogele wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit mittels zahlreicher Charakterisierungstechniken {\"u}berpr{\"u}ft und best{\"a}tigt. In dieser Arbeit wurden durch Ionogelbildung makroskopische Ionogelobjekte in Form von Folien und Vliesen erzeugt. Dabei kamen das Filmgießen und das Elektrospinnen als Methoden zur Erzeugung dieser Folien und Vliese zum Einsatz, woraus jeweils ein Modellsystem resultiert. Dadurch wird die vorliegende Arbeit in die Themenkomplexe „elektrisch halbleitende Ionogelfolien" und „antimikrobiell aktive Ionogelvliese" gegliedert. Der Einsatz von triiodidhaltigen ionischen Fl{\"u}ssigkeiten und einer Polymermatrix in einem diskontinuierlichen Gießprozess resultiert in elektrisch halbleitenden Ionogelfolien. Die flexiblen und transparenten Folien k{\"o}nnen Mittelpunkt zahlreicher neuer Anwendungsfelder im Bereich flexibler Elektronik sein.

The morphology of the electrospun ionogels strongly depends on the spinning parameters. Dense and uniform fiber mats were only obtained at concentrations of 60 to 70 g of polymer and IL mass combined. Lower concentrations led to a low number of poorly defined fibers. High voltages of 20 to 25 kV led to well-defined and uniform fibers; voltages between 15 and 20 kV again led to less uniform and less dense fibers. At 10 kV and lower, no spinning could be induced. Finally, PMMA fibers electrospun without IL show a less well-defined morphology combining fibers and oblong droplets indicating that the IL has a beneficial effect on the electrospinning process.
