By spin coating, homogeneous and smooth films are prepared for a range of film thicknesses from 6 to 82 nm. Films are stable with respect to dewetting as investigated with optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. P(S-b-MDEGA-b-S) films with a thickness of 39 nm exhibit a phase transition of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) type at 36.5 degrees C. The swelling and the thermoresponsive behavior of the films with respect to a sudden thermal stimulus are probed with in-situ neutron reflectivity. In undersaturated water vapor swelling proceeds without thickness increase. The thermoresponse proceeds in three steps: First, the film rejects water as the temperature is above LCST. Next, it stays constant for 600 s, before the collapsed film takes up water again. With ATR-FTIR measurements, changes of bound water in the film caused by different thermal stimuli are studied. Hydrogen bonds only form between C=O and water in the swollen film. Above the LCST most hydrogen bonds with water are broken, but some amount of bound water remains inside the film in agreement with the neutron reflectivity data. Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) shows that the inner lateral structure is not significantly influenced by the different thermal stimuli.

As the solvents are either PS- or PMDEGA-selective, micelles with different core-shell micellar structures are formed. In PMDEGA-selective solvents, the PS block is the core and PMDEGA is the shell, whereas in PS-selective solvents, the order is reversed. After exposing the films to liquid D2O, the micellar structure inside the films prepared from PMDEGA-selective solvents remains unchanged and only the PMDEGA (shell part) swells. On the contrary, in the films prepared from PS-selective solvents, the micelles revert the core and the shell. This reversal causes more entanglements of the PMDEGA chains between the micelles. Moreover, the thermal collapse transition of the PMDEGA block in liquid D2O is significantly broadened. Irrespective of the solvent used for film preparation, the swollen PMDEGA shell does not show a prominent shrinkage when passing the phase transition, and the transition process occurs via compaction. The collapsed micelles have a tendency to densely pack above the transition temperature.

Bis(benzyltriethylammonium)-, bis(trimethylphenylammonium)-, bis(ethyltriphenylphosphonium)-, bis(benzyltriphenylphosphonium)-, and bis(tetraphenylarsonium)tetrachloridocuprate(II) were synthesised and characterised by elemental, IR, EPR and X-ray analyses. The results of the crystallographic analyses show distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry of all [CuCl4]2− anions in the five complexes and prove that all investigated complexes are stabilised by hydrogen bonds of different intensities. Despite the use of sterically demanding ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium cations to obtain the separation of the paramagnetic Cu(II) centres for EPR spectroscopy no hyperfine structure was observed in the EPR spectra but the principal values of the electron Zeeman tensor, g∥ and g⊥, could be determined. With these EPR data and the crystallographic parameters we were able to carry out a correlation study to anticipate the structural situation of tetrachloridocuprates in different physical states. This correlation is in good agreement with DFT calculations.

Trotz großer Produktionskapazitäten und einem geeigneten Eigenschaftsprofil findet Stärke nur als hydrophile, mit Weichmachern verarbeitete thermoplastische Stärke (TPS) in Form von Blends mit z. B. Polyestern Anwendung. Gleiches gilt für Kunststoffe auf Proteinbasis. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Entwicklung von Biokunststoffen auf Stärkebasis zum Ziel, welche ohne externe Weichmacher thermoplastisch verarbeitbar und hydrophob sind sowie ein mechanisches Eigenschaftsprofil aufweisen, welches ein Potenzial zur Herstellung von Materialien für eine Anwendung als Verpackungsmittel bietet. Um die Rohstoffbasis für Biokunststoffe zu erweitern, soll das erarbeitete Konzept auf zwei industriell verfügbare Proteintypen, Zein und Molkenproteinisolat (WPI), übertragen werden. Als geeignete Materialklasse wurden Fettsäureester der Stärke herausgearbeitet. Zunächst fand ein Vergleich der Säurechlorid-Veresterung und der Umesterung von Fettsäurevinylestern statt, woraus letztere als geeignetere Methode hervorging. Durch Variation der Reaktionsparameter konnte diese optimiert und auf eine Serie der Fettsäurevinylester von Butanoat bis Stearat für DS-Werte bis zu 2,2-2,6 angewandt werden. Möglich war somit eine systematische Studie unter Variation der veresterten Fettsäure sowie des Substitutionsgrades (DS). Sämtliche Produkte mit einem DS ab 1,5 wiesen eine ausgprägte Löslichkeit in organischen Lösungsmitteln auf wodurch sowohl die Aufnahme von NMR-Spektren als auch Molmassenbestimmung mittels Größenausschlusschromatographie mit gekoppelter Mehrwinkel-Laserlichtstreuung (GPC-MALLS) möglich waren. Durch dynamische Lichtstreuung (DLS) wurde das Löslichkeitsverhalten veranschaulicht. Sämtliche Produkte konnten zu Filmen verarbeitet werden, wobei Materialien mit DS 1,5-1,7 hohe Zugfestigkeiten (bis zu 42 MPa) und Elastizitätsmodule (bis 1390 MPa) aufwiesen. Insbesondere Stärkehexanoat mit DS <2 sowie Stärkebutanoat mit DS >2 hatten ein mechanisches Eigenschaftsprofil, welches insbesondere in Bezug auf die Festigkeit/Steifigkeit vergleichbar mit Verpackungsmaterialien wie Polyethylen war (Zugfestigkeit: 15-32 MPa, E-Modul: 300-1300 MPa). Zugfestigkeit und Elastizitätsmodul nahmen mit steigender Kettenlänge der veresterten Fettsäure ab. Ester längerkettiger Fettsäuren (C16-C18) waren spröde. Über Weitwinkel-Röntgenstreuung (WAXS) und Infrarotspektroskopie (ATR-FTIR) konnte der Verlauf der Festigkeiten mit einer zunehmenden Distanz der Stärke im Material begründet werden. Es konnten von DS und Kettenlänge abhängige Glasübergänge detektiert werden, die kristallinen Strukturen der langkettigen Fettsäuren zeigten einen Schmelzpeak. Die Hydrophobie der Filme wurde anhand von Kontaktwinkeln >95° gegen Wasser dargestellt. Blends mit biobasierten Polyterpenen sowie den in der Arbeit hergestellten Zein-Acylderivaten ermöglichten eine weitere Verbesserung der Zugfestigkeit bzw. des Elastizitätsmoduls hochsubstituierter Produkte. Eine thermoplastische Verarbeitung mittels Spritzgießen war sowohl für Produkte mit hohem als auch mittlerem DS-Wert ohne jeglichen Zusatz von Weichmachern möglich. Es entstanden homogene, transparente Prüfstäbe. Untersuchungen der Härte ergaben auch hier für Stärkehexanoat und –butanoat mit Polyethylen vergleichbare Werte. Ausgewählte Produkte wurden zu Fasern nach dem Schmelzspinnverfahren verarbeitet. Hierbei wurden insbesondere für hochsubstituierte Derivate homogenen Fasern erstellt, welche im Vergleich zur Gießfolie signifikant höhere Zugfestigkeiten aufwiesen. Stärkeester mit mittlerem DS ließen sich ebenfalls verarbeiten. Zunächst wurden für eine Übertragung des Konzeptes auf die Proteine Zein und WPI verschiedene Synthesemethoden verglichen. Die Veresterung mit Säurechloriden ergab hierbei die höchsten Werte. Im Hinblick auf eine gute Löslichkeit in organischen Lösungsmitteln wurde für WPI die Veresterung mit carbonyldiimidazol (CDI)-aktivierten Fettsäuren in DMSO und für Zein die Veresterung mit Säu-rechloriden in Pyridin bevorzugt. Es stellte sich heraus, dass acyliertes WPI zwar hydrophob, jedoch ohne Weichmacher nicht thermoplastisch verarbeitet werden konnte. Die Erstellung von Gießfolien führte zu Sprödbruchverhalten. Unter Zugabe der biobasierten Ölsäure wurde die Anwendung von acyliertem WPI als thermoplastischer Filler z. B. in Blends mit Stärkeestern dargestellt. Im Gegensatz hierzu zeigte acyliertes Zein Glasübergänge <100 °C bei ausreichender Stabilität (150-200 °C). Zeinoleat konnte ohne Weichmacher zu einer transparenten Gießfolie verarbeitet werden. Sämtliche Derivate erwiesen sich als ausgeprägt hydrophob. Zeinoleat konnte über das Schmelzspinnverfahren zu thermoplastischen Fasern verarbeitet werden. N2 - In recent years, a steadily growing production capacity of bioplastic based on renewable resources was noticed. Despite its huge production capacities and an appropriate property profile (ubiquitous occurrence, easy extraction), starch is only applied in addition of plasticizers in a hydrophilic, thermoplastic form in blends with e. g. polyesters. The same applies to bioplastics based on proteins. The actual study has the aim to develop starch-based bioplastics, which are hydrophobic, thermoplastic without the addition of any plasticizer and have mechanical properties to be a suitable alternative material in the area of food packaging. To obtain a variation of the raw materials for bioplastics, the concept shall be applied to two types of industrial available proteins, whey protein isolate (WPI) and Zein. Fatty acid esters of starch came out to be a suitable class of materials. Initially, the methods of esterifying acid chlorides and the transesterification of fatty acid vinyl esters were compared with the latter being more appropriate. Reaction parameters of this method were optimized and it was applied to a complete series of vinyl ester reagents (butanoate to stearate), leading to degree of substitution (DS)-values up to 2.2-2.6. With that, a systematic study of the variation of the fatty acid ester chain as well as the DS became possible. It came out that all products with a DS >1.5 showed a well-marked solubility in organic solvents, whereby solution NMR-studies as well as measurements of the molecular weight distributions by using size exclusion chroma-tography with multi-angle laser light scattering (SEC-MALLS) were possible. The different solution behavior was studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS). All soluble products could be formed into films via casting, where materials with a DS of 1.5-1.7 showed the highest values concerning tensile strength (up to 42 MPa) and Youngs modulus (up to 1390 MPa). Especially starch hexanoate with DS <2 and starch butanoate with a DS >2 revealed mechanical properties which are comparable to usually applied polymers for food packaging, e. g. polyethylene (tensile strength: 15-20 MPa, E-Mod: 300-1300 MPa). Tensile strength and Youngs modulus were reduced with increasing length of the esterified fatty acid. Wide-angle X-Ray scattering (WAXS) and infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) explained this tendency by an increasing intermolecular distance of the starch in the material. Glassy transitions of the materials were detected and showed a dependency on the type of esterified fatty acid and the DS. The crystalline structures of the esterified long-chain fatty acids revealed a melting peak. All films came out to be hydrophobic with contact angles against water >95°. The tensile strength and the Youngs modulus of the highly substituted products could be further improved by blending them with biobased polyterpenes as well as the acylated Zein. A thermoplastic processing without the use of any plasticizer additives was possible for products with a medium and high DS. Homogeneous, transparent testing specimens were obtained. The specific mechanical values were comparable with the casted films, although the highest values for the tensile strength and the elongation were lower. Investigations of the hardness showed comparable values to polyethylene. Selected samples were further processed to fibers by melt spinning. Especially starch esters with high DS revealed homogeneous fibers with a significant increase in the tensile strength compared to the film or testing specimen. Even fatty acid starch esters with a medium DS were processed by the melt-spinning, but their higher glassy transition lead to a reduced softening behavior. To transfer this concept to the class of proteins, different methods of synthesis were studied in the first step, which differed in their amount of acylation. The acylation using fatty acid chlorides lead to highest values. With regard to a well-marked organic solvent solubility, in the case of WPI the acylation with carbonyldiimidazol (CDI)-activated fatty acid was established. For Zein, the acid chloride acylation in pyridine gave the desired results. It came out the fatty acid acylated soluble WPI could not be thermoplastic processed without additional plasticizers. By using biobased oleic acid as additive, the potential of acylated WPI as a thermoplastic filler in blends with e. g. fatty acid esters of starch was shown. In contrast, fatty acid acyl derivatives of Zein revealed well marked glassy transitions <100 °C with an adequate thermal stability. While Zeinoleate could be formed into transparent films via solvent casting without any plasticizer additives, low amounts of tall oil enabled film-forming in the case of acyl derivatives with shorter fatty acids as well. All derivatives revealed a well-marked hydrophobicity. Finally, Zeinoleate was thermoplastically processed into fibers by melt-spinning without any further additives.

Furthermore, the mechanism of the DDA was investigated by means of DFT calculations, and a stepwise mechanism involving 1,4-biradicals was suggested.

R. T1 - Cross-metathesis versus palladium-catalyzed C-H activation acetoxy ester functionalization of unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters JF - European journal of lipid science and technology N2 - Two synthetic approaches to functionalize plant oil derived platform chemicals were investigated. For this purpose, methyl 10-undecenoate, which can be obtained by pyrolysis of castor oil, was used in olefin cross-metathesis under neat conditions forming an unsaturated a,?-acetoxy ester. A catalyst screening with 11 different ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts was performed, revealing that well-suited catalysts allow for full conversion and very good cross-metathesis selectivity at a loading of only 0.5?mol%. An alternative possibility to the aforementioned synthetic method is a palladium-catalyzed reaction of methyl 10-undecenoate with acetic acid in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide. Here, the formation of linear and branched unsaturated acetoxy esters as well as a ketone was observed. The conversion as well as the selectivity of this procedure was studied under different reaction conditions and compared to the cross-metathesis results. Based on the successful functionalization of methyl 10-undecenoate, methyl oleate was investigated in this palladium-catalyzed C?H activation reaction. Due to the lower reactivity of the internal double bond the desired acetoxy ester was only obtained in moderate conversion in this case. In summary, this study clearly shows that palladium-catalyzed functionalization of unsaturated fatty compounds via C?H activation is an attractive alternative to the well-established olefin cross-metathesis procedure.

T1 - SAPK a novel composite resin for water treatment with very high Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ adsorption capacity JF - Industrial & engineering chemistry research N2 - A new sulfonated aniline-modified poly(vinyl alcohol)/K-feldspar (SAPK) composite was prepared. The cation-exchange capacity of the composite was found to be S times that of neat feldspar. The specific surface area and point of zero charge also changed significantly upon modification, from 15.6 +/- 0.1 m(2)/g and 2.20 (K-feldspar) to 73.6 +/- 0.3 m(2)/g and 1.91 (SAPK). Zn2+, Cd2+, and Pb2+ adsorption was found to be largely independent of pH, and the metal adsorption rate on SAPK was higher than that on neat feldspar. This particularly applies to the initial adsorption rates. The adsorption process involves both film and pore diffusion; film diffusion initially controls the adsorption. The Freundlich and Langmuir models were found to fit metal-ion adsorption on SAPK most accurately. Adsorption on neat feldspar was best fitted with a Langmuir model, indicating the formation of adsorbate monolayers. Both pure feldspar and SAPK showed better selectivity for Pb2+ than for Cd2+ or Zn2+.

The CEC of the new material is ca. 75 meq/100 g in spite of the unexpectedly low surface area (approximate to 19 m(2)/g). Accordingly, the average particle size of the hybrid clay adsorbent decreased from over 200 to 100 pm. The hybrid clay adsorbent is a highly efficient adsorbent for heavy metals. With an initial metal concentration of 1 mg/L, the hybrid clay adsorbent reduces the Cd2+, Ni2+, and Pb2+ concentration in aqueous solution to <= 4, <= 7 and <= 20 mu g/L, respectively, from the first minute to over 300 min using a fixed bed containing 2 g of adsorbent and a flow rate of approximate to 7 mL/min. These values are (with the exception of Pb2+) in line with the WHO permissible limits for heavy metal ions. In a cocktail solution of Cd2+, and Ni2+, the hybrid clay shows a reduced rate of uptake but an increased adsorption capacity. The CEC data suggest that the adsorption of Pb2+, Cd2+, and Ni2+ on the hybrid clay adsorbent is essentially due to ion exchange. This hybrid clay adsorbent is prepared from materials that are abundant and by a simple means that is sustainable, easily recovered from aqueous solution, nonbiodegradable (unlike numerous biosorbent), and easily regenerated and is a highly efficient alternative to activated carbon for water treatment.

The behaviour of the materials under the action of light with simultaneous or subsequent thermal treatment was examined with respect to the induction of anisotropy. The unconventional UV light treatment prior to the irradiation with linearly polarized light allowed induction of very high values of anisotropy (D = 0.77) at room temperature. Moreover, the simultaneous action of light and temperature led to the induction of higher values of dichroism in comparison with anisotropy generated by the standard procedure. Subsequent thermal treatment led to dewetting and the formation of 3D macroscopic stripe- and dome-like structures for one of the investigated compounds. Despite photoinduction of anisotropy by a single beam, the formation of polarization and surface relief gratings by two-beam interference pattern was also investigated.

Other natural reserves are also being devoured at alarming rates and current assessments suggest that we will need to identify alternative sources in the near future. With the aid of materials chemistry it should be possible to create a world in which energy use needs not be limited and where usable energy can be produced and stored wherever it is needed, where we can minimize and remediate emissions as new consumer products are created, whilst healing the planet and preventing further disruptive and harmful depletion of valuable mineral assets. In achieving these aims, the creation of new and very importantly greener industries and new sustainable pathways are crucial. In all of the aforementioned applications, new materials based on carbon, ideally produced via inexpensive, low energy consumption methods, using renewable resources as precursors, with flexible morphologies, pore structures and functionalities, are increasingly viewed as ideal candidates to fulfill these goals. The resulting materials should be a feasible solution for the efficient storage of energy and gases. At the end of life, such materials ideally must act to improve soil quality and to act as potential CO2 storage sinks. This is exactly the subject of this habilitation thesis: an alternative technology to produce carbon materials from biomass in water using low carbonisation temperatures and self-generated pressures. This technology is called hydrothermal carbonisation. It has been developed during the past five years by a group of young and talented researchers working under the supervision of Dr. Titirici at the Max-Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces and it is now a well-recognised methodology to produce carbon materials with important application in our daily lives. These applications include electrodes for portable electronic devices, filters for water purification, catalysts for the production of important chemicals as well as drug delivery systems and sensors. N2 - Der stets wachsende globale Energiebedarf führt zu immer weiter zunehmenden Emissionen von Kohlenstoffdioxid, einem umweltschädlichen Gas, das als eines der Hauptprobleme im weltweiten Klimawandel darstellt. Bislang ist es jedoch nicht möglich, dieses Kohlenstoffdioxid in sinnvoller Weise zu verwerten oder einzulagern. Zudem existieren weitere Probleme in der globalen Energieversorgung, da viele natürlich vorkommende Rohstoffe sehr schnell ausgebeutet werden, so dass in naher Zukunft dringend alternative Energiequellen gefunden werden müssen, um den aktuellen Problemen zu begegnen. Der Wissenschaftszweig der Materialchemie zielt in diesem Zusammenhang darauf ab, dazu beizutragen, die bestehende Energieinfrastruktur nachhaltig zu verändern. Dabei stehen verschiedene Aspekte im Vordergrund: Energie sollte in allen gewünschten Mengen jederzeit verfügbar und auch speicherbar sein. Zudem sollte ihre Erzeugung ohne umweltschädliche Abfallprodukte ablaufen. Tiefgreifende Eingriffe in die Umwelt, v.a. durch den übermäßigen Abbau von Rohstoffen, sollte nicht mehr erforderlich sein. Auf diese Weise können die Folgen des bisherigen Klimawandels eingedämmt werden und neue Schäden an der Umwelt vermieden werden. Neue, grüne Industrie- und Energieprozesse schützen hier also nachhaltig den Planeten. Bei der Forschung an nachhaltigen Formen der Energieversorgung beschäftigen sich Materialchemiker in mannigfaltiger Weise mit Kohlenstoffmaterialien. Diese sollten idealerweise kostengünstig und ohne hohen Energiebedarf produziert werden können. Am vielversprechendsten sind Materialien, die eine flexibel gestaltbare Morphologie besitzen, d.h. die besondere strukturelle Eigenschaften besitzen, wie z.B. Porosität oder chemisch veränderte und damit funktionale Oberflächen. Idealerweise sollten solche neu entwickelten Materialien nicht nur als Speicher von Energie oder Energieträgern dienen, sondern auch nach ihrer Lebensdauer als funktionales Material zur Verbesserung der Bodenqualität eingesetzt werden können und dort noch weiter als potentielle Senke für Kohlenstoffdioxid dienen können. Die zuvor beschriebenen Themen und Probleme stellen den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Habilitationsschrift dar: die Entwicklung einer alternativen Methode zur Herstellung von Kohlenstoffmaterialien aus Biomasse in Wasser bei geringen Temperaturen. Dabei handelt es sich um die sogenannte hydrothermale Karbonisierung, die in den letzten fünf Jahren von einer Gruppe junger, talentierter Wissenschaftler unter der Anleitung von Frau Dr. Titirici am Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung erarbeitet und weiterentwickelt wurde zu einer heutzutage anerkannten und verbreiteten Methode. Zudem wurden die über diesen Weg gewonnenen Materialien erfolgreich in zahlreichen, für den Alltag wichtigen Anwendungen eingesetzt, so z.B. als Elektroden in tragbaren elektronischen Geräten, als Filtermaterialien für die Aufreinigung kontaminierten Wassers, als Katalysatoren für wichtige chemische Reaktionen, als Trägermaterial für Arzneimittel und als Sensoren.

T1 - TOF-SIMS analysis of cell membrane changes in functional impaired human macrophages upon nanosilver treatment JF - Surface and interface analysis : an international journal devoted to the development and application of techniques for the analysis surfaces, interfaces and thin films N2 - Silver nanoparticles (SNP) are among the most commercialized nanoparticles. Here, we show that peptide-coated SNP cause functional impairment of human macrophages. A dose-dependent inhibition of phagocytosis is observed after nanoparticle treatment, and pretreatment of cells with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can counteract the phagocytosis disturbances caused by SNP. Using the surface-sensitive mode of time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, in combination with multivariate statistical methods, we studied the composition of cell membranes in human macrophages upon exposure to SNP with and without NAC preconditioning. This method revealed characteristic changes in the lipid pattern of the cellular membrane outer leaflet in those cells challenged by SNP. Statistical analyses resulted in 19 characteristic ions, which can be used to distinguish between NAC pretreated and untreated macrophages. The present study discusses the assignments of surface cell membrane phospholipids for the identified ions and the resulting changes in the phospholipid pattern of treated cells. We conclude that the adverse effects in human macrophages caused by SNP can be partially reversed through NAC administration. Some alterations, however, remained.

The attachment of the dyes was accomplished by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynes and azides (click' reaction) and is a prime example for a novel class of sensor constructs. Especially, the attachment of two (different) fluorophores on opposite sides of the molecular rods paves the way to new sensor systems with less bulky (compared to the conventional DNA- or protein-based concepts), nevertheless rigid spacer constructs, e.g., for FRET-based sensing applications. A detailed photophysical characterization was performed in MeOH (and in basic H2O/MeOH mixtures) for i) rod constructs containing carboxyfluorescein, ii) rod constructs containing carboxyrhodamine, iii) rod constructs containing both carboxyfluorescein and carboxyrhodamine, and iv) rod constructs containing both pyrene and perylene parts. For each dye (pair), two rod lengths with different numbers of spirane units were synthesized and investigated. The rod constructs were characterized in ensemble as well as single-molecule fluorescence experiments with respect to i) specific roddye and ii) dyedye interactions. In addition to MeOH and MeOH/NaOH, the rod constructs were also investigated in micellar systems, which were chosen as a simplified model for membranes.

With these materials, large biomolecules can be specifically recognised and the binding event visualised. The preparation of the IHOs was performed with a template process, for which monodisperse silica particles were vertically deposited onto glass slides as the first step. The obtained colloidal crystals with a thickness of 5 μm displayed opalescent reflections because of the uniform alignment of the colloids. As a second step, the template was embedded in a matrix consisting of biocompatible, thermoresponsive hydrogels. The comonomers were selected from the family of oligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylates. The monomer solution was injected into a polymerisation mould, which contained the colloidal crystals as a template. The space in-between the template particles was filled with the monomer solution and the hydrogel was cured via UV-polymerisation. The particles were chemically etched, which resulted in a porous inner structure. The uniform alignment of the pores and therefore the opalescent reflection were maintained, so these system were denoted as inverse hydrogel opals. A pore diameter of several hundred nanometres as well as interconnections between the pores should facilitate a diffusion of bigger (bio)molecules, which was always a challenge in the presented systems until now. The copolymer composition was chosen to result in a hydrogel collapse over 35 °C. All hydrogels showed pronounced swelling in water below the critical temperature. The incorporation of a reactive monomer with hydroxyl groups ensured a potential coupling group for the introduction of recognition units for analytes, e.g. proteins. As a test system, biotin as a recognition unit for avidin was coupled to the IHO via polymer-analogous Steglich esterification. The amount of accessible biotin was quantified with a colorimetric binding assay. When avidin was added to the biotinylated IHO, the wavelength of the opalescent reflection was significantly shifted and therefore the binding event was visualised. This effect is based on the change in swelling behaviour of the hydrogel after binding of the hydrophilic avidin, which is amplified by the thermoresponsive nature of the hydrogel. A swelling or shrinking of the pores induces a change in distance of the crystal planes, which are responsible for the colour of the reflection. With these findings, the possibility of creating sensor materials or additional biomolecules in the size range of avidin is given. N2 - In dieser Arbeit wird die Entwicklung von temperatur- und proteinresponsiven Sensormaterialien auf Basis von biokompatiblen, inversen Hydrogelopalen (IHO) vorgestellt, mit welchen die spezifische Erkennung größerer Biomoleküle visuell ausgelesen werden kann. Die Darstellung der IHOs erfolgte mittels Templatverfahren, bei dem im ersten Schritt monodisperse Silicapartikel vertikal auf Objektträger abgeschieden wurden. Die so erhaltenen Kolloidkristalle mit einer Dicke von 5 μm zeigten opaleszente Reflexionen aufgrund der gleichförmigen Anordnung der Partikel. Im zweiten Schritt wurde das Templat in eine Matrix aus biokompatiblen, thermoresponsiven Hydrogelen eingebettet. Die Comonomere wurden aus der Familie der Oligo(ethylenglykol)methacrylate ausgewählt. Zur Synthese des Hydrogels wurde die Monomerlösung in eine Polymerisationsform injiziert, welche die Kolloidkristalle als Templat beinhaltete. Die Zwischenräume der Templatpartikel wurden mit der Monomerlösung gefüllt und das Hydrogelnetzwerk per UV-Polymerisation erhalten. Die Templatpartikel wurden anschließend nasschemisch heraus gelöst, so dass eine poröse innere Struktur erhalten wurde. Die regelmäßige Anordnung der Poren und damit die opaleszenten Reflexionen wurden dabei beibehalten, so dass diese Systeme als inverse Hydorgelopale bezeichnet werden. Ein Porendurchmesser von mehreren hundert Nanometer, sowie durchgängige Verbindungskanäle zwischen den einzelnen Poren sollten eine Diffusion von großen (Bio)molekülen erleichtern, was bei bisherigen Systemen ein Problem darstellte. Die Copolymerzusammensetzung wurde dabei so gewählt, dass ein Kollaps des Hydrogels über 35 °C stattfand. Alle Hydrogele zeigten ausgeprägte Quellung in Wasser unterhalb der kritischen Temperatur. Der Einbau von reaktiven Comonomeren mit Hydroxylgruppen gewährleistete dabei die Funktionalisierbarkeit des Hydrogels mit Erkennungsgruppen für entsprechende Analytmoleküle, wie z.B. Proteine. Als Testsystem wurde Biotin als Erkennungseinheit für Avidin in das Hydrogel mittels polymeranaloger Steglich Veresterung eingebaut. Die Menge an zugänglichem Biotin wurde dabei per colorimetrischem Bindungsassay quantifiziert. Dabei zeigte sich, dass sich die Wellenlänge der Reflexion nach Zugabe von Avidin zum biotinylierten inversen Hydrogelopal signifikant verschob und damit das Bindungsereignis visuell auslesbar ist. Dieser Effekt beruht auf dem veränderten Quellungsverhalten des Hydrogels nach Bindung des hydrophilen Proteins Avidin in Wasser, welches durch den thermosresponsiven Charakter des Hydrogels verstärkt ist. Ein Aufweiten oder Schrumpfen der Poren ändert die Abstände der gleichmäßig angeordneten Poren, welche für die Farbe des inversen Opals verantwortlich sind. Auf Basis dieser Erkenntnisse lassen sich möglicherweise Sensormaterialen für die Erkennung weiterer Biomoleküle in der Größenordnung von Avidin erstellen.

A detailed analysis of the optical and photocatalytic properties shows that optimum hollow carbon nitride structures are formed after 8 h of condensation. For this condensation time, we find a significantly reduced fluorescence intensity and lifetime, indicating the formation of new, nonradiative deactivation pathways, probably involving charge-transfer processes. Enhanced charge transfer is seen as well from a drastic increase of the photocatalytic activity in the degradation of rhodamine B dye, which is shown to proceed via photoinduced hole transfer. Moreover, we show that various CM morphologies can be obtained using different solvents, which leads to diverse ordered carbon nitride architectures. In all cases, the CM-C3N4 structures exhibited superior photocatalytic activity compared to the bulk material. The utilization of CM hydrogen-bonded complexes opens new opportunities for the significant improvement of carbon nitride synthesis, structure, and optical properties toward an efficient photoactive material for catalysis.

As the stereochemistry of cyclohexane and its N-, O-, P-, S-hetero analogues is one of keystones of modern theoretical and synthetic organic and heterocyclic chemistry, the stereochemistry of silacyclohexane and its hetero analogs is an important element of theoretical and synthetic organosilicon chemistry.

The compound exists as a mixture of two conformers possessing the chair conformation with the equatorial NMe group and differing by axial or equatorial position of the SiMe group. In the gas phase, the SiMeax conformer predominates (GED: ax/eq = 65(7):35(7)%,Delta G = 0.36(18) kcal/mol; IR: ax/eq = 62(5):38(5)%,Delta G = 0.16(7) kcal/mol). In solution, at 143 k the SiMeeq conformer predominates' in the frozen equilibrium (NMR: ax/eq = 31.5(1.5):68.5(1.5)%, Delta G = -0.22(2) kcal/mol). Thermodynamic parameters of the ring inversion are determined (Delta G(double dagger) = 8.9-9.0 kcal/mol, Delta H-double dagger = 9.6 kcal/mol, Delta S-double dagger = 2.1 eu).

We have carried out large-scale, full-dimensional direct semiempirical configuration-interaction surface-hopping dynamics of the photoinduced ring-closure reaction. Simulated static and dynamical UV/Vis-spectra show good agreement with experimental data of the same molecule. By a careful investigation of our dynamical data, we were able to identify marked differences to the dynamics of the previously studied E-isopropylfurylfulgide. With our simulations we can not only reproduce the experimentally observed quantum yield differences qualitatively but we can also pinpoint two reasons for them: kinematics and pre-orientation. With our analysis, we thus offer straightforward molecular explanations for the high sensitivity of the photodynamics towards seemingly minor changes in molecular constitution. Beyond the realm of furylfulgides, these insights provide additional guidance to the rational design of photochemically switchable molecules.

The dithioethers 1-7 and the complex [PdCl2(4)]center dot CHCl3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of 1-7 show that 2-7 are better preorganized chelating ligands for an exocyclic PdCl2 coordination than 1. The chelation effect of 1-7, the orientation of the sulfur atoms and the S center dot center dot center dot S donor distances, are influenced by the flexibility of the methylene units. In this series the unsaturated macrocyclic ligands 5 and 6 are the best chelating ligands for an efficient PdCl2 coordination. Comparative solvent extraction experiments with mn-12S(2)O(2) (mn = maleonitrile) reveal that the low interface activity of the new ligands reduces the extraction rate.

To this end, new copolymers containing different ratios of 2-methoxyaniline-5-sulfonic acid (MAS), 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (ABS) and 3-aminobenzoic acid (AB) units have been chemically synthesized. All polymers have been studied with respect to their ability to react directly with PQQ-GDH. This interaction has been monitored initially in solution, and subsequently on electrode surfaces. The results show that only copolymers with MAS and aniline units can directly react with PQQ-GDH in solution; the background can be mainly ascribed to the emeraldine salt redox state of the polymer, allowing rather easy reduction. However, when polymers and the enzyme are immobilized on the surface of carbon nanotube-containing electrodes, direct bioelectrocatalysis is also feasible in the case of copolymers composed of ABS/AB and MAS/AB units, existing initially in pernigraniline base form. This verifies that a productive interaction of the enzyme with differently substituted polymers is feasible when the electrode potential can be used to drive the reaction towards the oxidation of the substrate-reduced enzyme. These results clearly demonstrate that enzyme electrodes based on sulfonated polyanilines and direct bioelectrocatalysis can be successfully constructed.

Generally the thermal transition of thermosensitive hydrogels is based on either a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) or critical micelle concentration/ temperature (CMC/ CMT). The temperature dependent transition from sol to gel with large volume change may be seen in the former type of thermosensitive hydrogels and is negligible in CMC/ CMT dependent systems. The change in volume leads to exclusion of water molecules, resulting in shrinking and stiffening of system above the transition temperature. The volume change can be undesired when cells are to be incorporated in the system. The gelation in the latter case is mainly driven by micelle formation above the transition temperature and further colloidal packing of micelles around the gelation temperature. As the gelation mainly depends on concentration of polymer, such a system could undergo fast dissolution upon addition of solvent. Here, it was envisioned to realize a thermosensitive gel based on two components, one responsible for a change in mechanical properties by formation of reversible netpoints upon heating without volume change, and second component conferring degradability on demand. As first component, an ABA triblockcopolymer (here: Poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene glycol)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEPE) with thermosensitive properties, whose sol-gel transition on the molecular level is based on micellization and colloidal jamming of the formed micelles was chosen, while for the additional macromolecular component crosslinking the formed micelles biopolymers were employed. The synthesis of the hydrogels was performed in two ways, either by physical mixing of compounds showing electrostatic interactions, or by covalent coupling of the components. Biopolymers (here: the polysaccharides hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate, or pectin, as well as the protein gelatin) were employed as additional macromolecular crosslinker to simultaneously incorporate an enzyme responsiveness into the systems. In order to have strong ionic/electrostatic interactions between PEPE and polysaccharides, PEPE was aminated to yield predominantly mono- or di-substituted PEPEs. The systems based on aminated PEPE physically mixed with HA showed an enhancement in the mechanical properties such as, elastic modulus (G′) and viscous modulus (G′′) and a decrease of the gelation temperature (Tgel) compared to the PEPE at same concentration. Furthermore, by varying the amount of aminated PEPE in the composition, the Tgel of the system could be tailored to 27-36 °C. The physical mixtures of HA with di-amino PEPE (HA·di-PEPE) showed higher elastic moduli G′ and stability towards dissolution compared to the physical mixtures of HA with mono-amino PEPE (HA·mono-PEPE). This indicates a strong influence of electrostatic interaction between –COOH groups of HA and –NH2 groups of PEPE. The physical properties of HA with di-amino PEPE (HA·di-PEPE) compare beneficially with the physical properties of the human vitreous body, the systems are highly transparent, and have a comparable refractive index and viscosity. Therefore,this material was tested for a potential biological application and was shown to be non-cytotoxic in eluate and direct contact tests. The materials will in the future be investigated in further studies as vitreous body substitutes. In addition, enzymatic degradation of these hydrogels was performed using hyaluronidase to specifically degrade the HA. During the degradation of these hydrogels, increase in the Tgel was observed along with decrease in the mechanical properties. The aminated PEPE were further utilised in the covalent coupling to Pectin and chondroitin sulphate by using EDC as a coupling agent. Here, it was possible to adjust the Tgel (28-33 °C) by varying the grafting density of PEPE to the biopolymer. The grafting of PEPE to Pectin enhanced the thermal stability of the hydrogel. The Pec-g-PEPE hydrogels were degradable by enzymes with slight increase in Tgel and decrease in G′ during the degradation time. The covalent coupling of aminated PEPE to HA was performed by DMTMM as a coupling agent. This method of coupling was observed to be more efficient compared to EDC mediated coupling. Moreover, the purification of the final product was performed by ultrafiltration technique, which efficiently removed the unreacted PEPE from the final product, which was not sufficiently achieved by dialysis. Interestingly, the final products of these reaction were in a gel state and showed enhancement in the mechanical properties at very low concentrations (2.5 wt%) near body temperature. In these hydrogels the resulting increase in mechanical properties was due to the combined effect of micelle packing (physical interactions) by PEPE and covalent netpoints between PEPE and HA. PEPE alone or the physical mixtures of the same components were not able to show thermosensitive behavior at concentrations below 16 wt%. These thermosensitive hydrogels also showed on demand solubilisation by enzymatic degradation. The concept of thermosensitivity was introduced to 3D architectured porous hydrogels, by covalently grafting the PEPE to gelatin and crosslinking with LDI as a crosslinker. Here, the grafted PEPE resulted in a decrease in the helix formation in gelatin chains and after fixing the gelatin chains by crosslinking, the system showed an enhancement in the mechanical properties upon heating (34-42 °C) which was reversible upon cooling. A possible explanation of the reversible changes in mechanical properties is the strong physical interactions between micelles formed by PEPE being covalently linked to gelatin. Above the transition temperature, the local properties were evaluated by AFM indentation of pore walls in which an increase in elastic modulus (E) at higher temperature (37 °C) was observed. The water uptake of these thermosensitive architectured porous hydrogels was also influenced by PEPE and temperature (25 °C and 37 °C), showing lower water up take at higher temperature and vice versa. In addition, due to the lower water uptake at high temperature, the rate of hydrolytic degradation of these systems was found to be decreased when compared to pure gelatin architectured porous hydrogels. Such temperature sensitive architectured porous hydrogels could be important for e.g. stem cell culturing, cell differentiation and guided cell migration, etc. Altogether, it was possible to demonstrate that the crosslinking of micelles by a macromolecular crosslinker increased the shear moduli, viscosity, and stability towards dissolution of CMC-based gels. This effect could be likewise be realized by covalent or non-covalent mechanisms such as, micelle interactions, physical interactions of gelatin chains and physical interactions between gelatin chains and micelles. Moreover, the covalent grafting of PEPE will create additional net-points which also influence the mechanical properties of thermosensitive architectured porous hydrogels. Overall, the physical and chemical interactions and reversible physical interactions in such thermosensitive architectured porous hydrogels gave a control over the mechanical properties of such complex system. The hydrogels showing change of mechanical properties without a sol-gel transition or volume change are especially interesting for further study with cell proliferation and differentiation. N2 - In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden thermosensitive Hydrogele mit einstellbaren thermo-mechanischen Eigenschaften synthetisiert. Im Allgemeinen basiert der thermische Übergang thermosensitiver Gele auf einer niedrigsten kritischen Löslichkeitstemperatur (LCST) oder kritischer Mizellkonzentration bzw. –temperatur(CMC/ CMT). Der temperaturabhängige Übergang von Sol zu Gel mit großer Volumenänderung wurde im ersten Fall bei thermosensitiven Hydrogelen beobachtet und ist vernachlässigbar für CMC/ CMT abhängige Systeme. Die Änderung des Volumens führt zum Ausschluss von Wassermolekülen, was zum Schrumpfen und Versteifen des Systems oberhalb der Übergangstemperatur führt. Die Volumenänderung kann unerwünscht sein, wenn Zellen in das Gel eingeschlossen werden sollen. Die Gelierung im zweiten Fall beruht hauptsächlich auf der Mizellbildung oberhalb der Übergangstemperatur und weiterem kolloidalem Packen von Mizellen im Bereich der Gelierungstemperatur. Weil die Gelierung hauptsächlich von der Polymerkonzentration abhängt, kann sich das Gel bei Zugabe von Lösungsmittel leicht wieder lösen. Hier sollten thermosensitive Gele entwickelt werden, die auf zwei Komponenten beruhen. Eine Komponente sollte aus einem ABA-Triblockcopolymer mit thermosensitiven Eigenschaften bestehen, dem Poly(ethylen glycol)-b-Poly(propylenglycol)-b-Poly(ethylen glycol) (PEPE), dessen Sol-Gel-Übergang auf Mizellierung und kolloidalem Jamming der gebildeten Mizellen basiert, und einer weiteren makromolekularen Komponente, einem Biopolymer, dass die Mizellen vernetzt. Auf diese Weise sollten thermosensitive Gele realisiert werden, die keine oder nur eine kleine Volumenänderung während der Änderung der mechanischen Eigenschaften zeigen, die stabiler gegenüber Verdünnung sein sollten als klassische Hydrogele mit einem CMC-basierten Übergang und die jedoch gezielt abgebaut werden können. Die Hydrogele wurden auf zwei Arten vernetzt, entweder durch physikalisches Vermischen, bei dem die Vernetzung durch elektrostatische Wechselwirkungen erfolgte, oder durch kovalente Kopplung der beiden Komponenten. Als makromolekulare Komponente zur Vernetzung der Mizellen wurden Biopolymere (hier: die Polysaccharide Hyaluronsäure (HA), Chondroitinsulfat oder Pektin oder das Protein Gelatin) verwendet, um die Hydrogele enzymatisch abbaubar zu gestalten. Um eine starke ionische/elektrostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen dem PEPE und den Polysachariden zu erzielen, wurde PEPE aminiert, um hauptsächlich monoaminiertes bzw. diaminiertes PEPE einsetzen zu können. Die Gele, die auf der physikalischen Mischung von aminierten PEPE mit HA bestehen, zeigten im Vergleich zu PEPE bei gleicher Konzentration eine Zunahme der mechanischen Eigenschaften, wie beispielsweise dem elastischem Modulus (G′) und dem Viskositätsmodulus (G′′) bei gleichzeitiger Abnahme der Gelierungstemperatur (Tgel). Durch Variation des Gehalts an aminierten PEPE-, konnte die Tgel in einem Bereich von 27-36 °C eingestellt werden. Interessanterweise zeigten die physikalischen Mischungen mit diaminierten PEPE (HA·di-PEPE) höhere mechanische Eigenschaften (elastischer Modulus G′) und eine höhere Stabilität gegenüber Verdünnungseffekten als Mischungen mit monoaminiertem PEPE (HA·mono-PEPE). Dies zeigt den starken Einfluss der elektrostatischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Carboxylgruppe der HA und der Amingruppe von PEPE. Die physikalischen Eigenschaften HA·di-PEPE sind vergleichbar mit den physikalischen Eigenschaften des Glaskörpers im Auge hinsichtlich Transparenz, Brechungsindex und Viskosität. Deswegen wurde das Material hinsichtlich seiner biologischen Anwendung getestet und zeigte sich sowohl im Überstand als auch im direkten Kontakt als nichtzytotoxisch. Zukünftig wird dieses Material in weiteren Untersuchungen bezüglich seiner Eignung als Glaskörperersatz geprüft werden. Zusätzlich konnte der enzymatische Abbau der Hydrogele mit Hyaluronidase gezeigt werden, die spezifisch HA abbaut. Beim Abbau der Hydrogele stieg Tgel bei gleichzeitiger Abnahme der mechanischen Eigenschaften. Aminiertes PEPE wurde zusätzlich zur kovalenten Bindung unter Verwendung von EDC als Aktivator an Pektin und Chondroitinsulfat eingesetzt. Tgel konnte auf 28 – 33 °C eingestellt werden durch Variation der Pfropfungsdichte am Biopolymer bei gleichzeitiger Zunahme der thermischen Stabilität. Die Pec-g-PEPE Hydrogele waren enzymatisch abbaubar, was zu einer leichten Erhöhung von Tgel und zu einer Abnahme von G′ führte. Die kovalente Bindung der aminierten PEPE an HA erfolgte unter Verwendung von DMTMM als Aktivator, der sich in diesem Fall als effektiver als EDC herausstellte. Die Reinigung mittels Ultrafiltration führte zu einer deutlich besseren Aufreinigung des Produkts als mittels Dialyse. Die gegrafteten Systeme waren in Nähe der Körpertemperatur bereits im Gelstadium und zeigten eine Erhöhung der mechanischen Eigenschaften bereits bei sehr geringen Konzentrationen von 2.5Gew.%. Die höheren mechanischen Eigenschaften dieser Hydrogele erklären sich durch die Kombination der Mizellbildung (physikalische Wechselwirkung) des PEPE und der Bildung kovalenter Netzpunkte zwischen PEPE und HA. PEPE bzw. entsprechende physikalische Mischungen derselben Komponenten zeigten kein thermosensitives Verhalten bei einer Konzentration unterhalb von 16 Gew%. Diese thermosensitiven Hydrogele zeigten auch eine Löslichkeit auf Abruf durch enzymatischen Abbau. Das Konzept der Thermosensitivität wurde in 3D strukturierte, poröse Hydrogele (TArcGel)eingeführt, bei dem PEPE kovalent an Gelatin gebunden wurde und mit LDI vernetzt wurde. Das gepfropfte PEPE führte zu einer Erniedrigung der Helixbildung der Gelatinketten. Nach Fixierung der Gelatinketten durch Vernetzung zeigte das System eine Erhöhung der mechanischen Eigenschaften bei Erwärmung (34-42 °C). Dieses Phänomen war reversibel beim Abkühlen. Eine mögliche Erklärung der reversiblen Änderungen bezüglich der mechanischen Eigenschaften sind die starken physikalischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Mizellen des PEPE, die kovalent an Gelatin gebunden wurden. Ferner wurde durch AFM Untersuchungen festgestellt, dass bei Temperaturerhöhung (37 °C) die örtlichen elastischen Moduli (E) der Zellwände zugenommen haben. Zusätzlich wurde die Wasseraufnahme der TArcGele durch PEPE und die Temperatur (25 °C und 37 °C) beeinflusst und zeigte eine niedrigere Wasseraufnahme bei höherer Temperatur und umgekehrt. Durch die niedrigere Wasseraufnahme bei hohen Temperaturen erniedrigte sich die Geschwindigkeit des hydrolytischen Abbaus im Vergleich zu dem strukturierten Hydrogel aus reiner Gelatin. Diese temperatursensitiven ArcGele könnten bedeutsam sein für Anwendungen im Bereich Stammzellkultivierung, Zelldifferenzierung und gerichteter Zellmigration. Zusammenfassend konnte bei den thermosensitiven Hydrogelen gezeigt werden, dass die Vernetzung von Mizellen mit einem makromolekularen Vernetzer die Schermoduli, Viskosität und Löslichkeitsstabilität im Vergleich zu reinen ABATriblockcopolymeren mit CMC-Übergang erhöht. Dieser Effekt konnte durch kovalente und nichtkovalente Mechanismen, wie beispielsweise Mizell- Wechselwirkungen, physikalische Interaktionen von Gelatinketten und physikalische Interaktionen von Gelatinketten und Mizellen, realisiert werden. Das Pfropfen von PEPE führte zu zusätzlichen Netzpunkten, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften der thermosensitiven architekturisierten, porösen Hydrogele beeinflussten. Insgesamt ermöglichten die physikalischen und chemischen Bindungen und die reversiblen physikalischen Wechselwirkungen in den strukturierten, porösen Hydrogelen eine Kontrolle der mechanischen Eigenschaften in diesem sehr komplexen System. Die Hydrogele, die eine Veränderung ihrer mechanischen Eigenschaften ohne Volumenänderung oder Sol-Gel-Übergang zeigen sind besonders interessant für Untersuchungen bezüglich Zellproliferation und –differenzierung.

Gasgemischen vorgestellt und deren Design, Aufbau, Charakterisierung und Optimierung beschrieben. Das Resultat der Optimierung und Weiterentwicklungen ist ein spektral breitbandiges Cavity-Ring-Down-Spektrometer (CRD-Spektrometer). Ausgangspunkt der hier vorgestellten Arbeit ist ein Spektrometer auf Basis klassischer Absorptionsspektroskopie in einer Multireflexionszelle. Für dieses Spektrometer wurde als Strahlquelle ein Superkontinuumlaser verwendet. Der Vorteil dieses Spektrometers liegt in seiner Kompaktheit. Mit diesem Spektrometer wurden Absorptionsspektren von mehreren Reingasen und einem Gasgemisch über einen Wellenlängenbereich von 1500 nm – 1700 nm aufgenommen. Der qualitative Vergleich mit zu erwartenden Spektren, welche auf der HITRAN-Datenbank basieren, zeigte eine gute Übereinstimmung. Die quantitative Interpretierbarkeit der Daten war jedoch stark eingeschränkt aufgrund des hohen zufälligen und systematischen Fehlers der Messungen. Als Konsequenz aus der als nicht zufriedenstellend bewerteten quantitativen Interpretierbarkeit der Daten wurde eine alternative Messmethode gesucht, welche eine höhere Sensitivität und Genauigkeit ermöglicht. Die Wahl fiel auf die Cavity-Ring-Down-Spektroskopie, eine resonatorgestützte Variante der Absorptionsspektroskopie. Wesentliche Vorteile dieser Technik sind a) die Unabhängigkeit von Leistungsschwankungen der Strahlquelle, b) ein effektiver Absorptionsweg von bis zu mehreren Kilometern, welcher sich unmittelbar auf die Sensitivität der Messungen auswirkt, c) die Ermittlung absoluter Absorberkonzentrationen, ohne die Notwendigkeit einer Kalibrierung oder den Vergleich mit einer Referenzzelle und d) die Vernachlässigbarkeit von Absorptionen außerhalb des Resonators. Als notwendiger Zwischenschritt auf dem Weg zu einem breitbandigen CRD-Spektrometer wurde zunächst ein monochromatisches CRD-Spektrometer designt, aufgebaut und charakterisiert. Für die effektive Einkopplung von Strahlungsenergie in einen Resonator ist die Anpassung der Strahlparameter an die Mode des Resonators notwendig. Voraussetzung dieser Anpassung ist die Kenntnis der Strahlparameter, welche experimentell ermittelt wurden. Im Laufe des Aufbaus des Spektrometers ergab sich, dass trotz der Modenanpassung die Einkopplung der Strahlungsenergie in den Resonator gestört wurde. Daraufhin wurden systematisch mögliche Ursachen dieser Störung untersucht und das Spektrometer optimiert. Mit diesem optimierten Spektrometer wurden Spektren gemessen, welche sowohl qualitativ als auch quantitativ gut mit den zu erwartenden Spektren übereinstimmen. Als Nachweisgrenze dieses Spektrometers wurde ein Wert für den Absorptionskoeffizienten alpha von 10^-8 cm-1 bestimmt. Mit dem monochromatischen CRD-Spektrometer war es zudem möglich, isotopenspezifische Messungen durchzuführen. Für das breitbandige Spektrometer wurde als Strahlquelle eine ASE-Diode (amplified spontaneous emission) verwendet. Dabei handelt es sich um eine inkohärente Strahlquelle. Mittels Messungen nach dem Prinzip der Cavity-Enhanced-Absorptionsspektroskopie wurde die generelle Funktionalität des resonatorgestützten Spektrometers überprüft. Anschließend wurden die wellenlängenabhängigen Abklingsignale des leeren und des mit einem CO2-Luft-Gemisch gefüllten Resonators gemessen und ebenfalls mit den zu erwartenden Spektren verglichen. Qualitativ stimmen die experimentellen Spektren gut mit den zu erwartenden Spektren überein. Für die quantitative Interpretation der Daten wurde ein spezieller Algorithmus entwickelt, der die spektrale Auflösung des Systems berücksichtigt. Mit dem vorgestellten Spektrometer ist so die qualitative und quantitative Interpretation der Spektren möglich. Die Nachweisgrenze des breitbandigen Cavity-Ring-Down-Spektrometers wurde zu einem Wert von alpha = 8x10^-7 cm-1 bestimmt. Der systematischen und der zufällige Fehler der Messungen lagen bei Werten von ca. 1%. Bei diesem Spektrometer handelt es sich um einen Prototyp. Mittels Optimierung des Systems lassen sich sowohl der Wert der Nachweisgrenze als auch die Fehler der Messungen verbessern. N2 - This thesis presents the design, set-up, characterisation and optimization of various spectrometers to be used for the analysis of gases and gas mixtures. The result of this optimization and its further development is a spectrally broadband cavity ring-down spectrometer (CRD spectrometer), which uses an incoherent light source that emits in the near-infrared. The starting point of the development was a spectrometer which is based on classic absorption spectroscopy inside a multipass cell. This spectrometer uses a supercontinuum laser as light source. The advantage of this spectrometer is its compactness. With this spectrometer, the spectra of various gases and a gas mixture were detected in the spectral range of 1500 nm to 1700 nm. The experimentally derived spectra are in good qualitative accordance to expected spectra based on the HITRAN database. Nevertheless, the qualitative interpretation of the data reveals significant systematic and random errors. As a consequence, a different spectroscopic approach was chosen. The method of choice was cavity ring-down spectroscopy. The advantages of this technique are a) the independence from power fluctuations of the light source, b) an effective absorption path length of up to several kilometres, c) absolute measurement of absorber concentration and d) independence of absorption outside of the cavity. As an important intermediate step on the way to the broadband CRD spectrometer, a monochromatic CRD spectrometer was designed, set up and characterised. To effectively couple light into the cavity, the beam parameters have to be matched to the cavity’s mode. Prerequisite of this mode matching is the knowledge of the beam parameters, which were determined experimentally. Despite this mode matching, the coupling of the light into the cavity turned out to be instable. The cause of that disturbance was systematically investigated, which let to an optimization of the system. The spectra measured with this optimized system were in very good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the expected spectra. The limit of detection of this spectrometer was determined to an absorption coefficient alpha of 10^-8 cm-1. Furthermore, isotope-selective measurements were performed. The light source of the broadband CRD spectrometer is an amplified spontaneous emission diode, which is an incoherent light source. The general functionality of the spectrometer was first tested by means of CEAS measurements (cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy). Afterwards, the wavelength dependent ring-down signals of the empty cavity and the cavity filled with a CO2 air mixture were detected. The qualitative comparison with the expected data shows very good agreement. For the quantitative interpretation of the experimental data, a special algorithm was developed. Thereby the data measured with the presented spectrometer can be interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively. The limit of detection of the broadband CRD spectrometer was determined to a value of alpha = 8x10^-7 cm-1. The systematic and the random error are in the range of 1 %. The presented spectrometer is a prototype. Therefore the systematic and random error will be improved by further optimization of the spectrometer.

In particular, monomers that would facilitate in the preparation of bio-relevant polymers via either chain- or step-growth polymerization were targeted. A 3-step synthetic approach towards N-substituted glycine N-carboxyanhydrides (NNCA) was implemented, or developed, and optimized allowing for an efficient gram scale preparation of the aforementioned monomer (chain-growth). After exploring several solvents and various conditions, a reproducible and efficient ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of NNCAs was developed in benzonitrile (PhCN). However, achieving molecular weights greater than 7 kDa required longer reaction times (>4 weeks) and sub-sequentially allowed for undesirable competing side reactions to occur (eg. zwitterion monomer mechanisms). A bulk-polymerization strategy provided molecular weights up to 11 kDa within 24 hours but suffered from low monomer conversions (ca. 25%). Likewise, a preliminary study towards alcohol promoted ROP of NNCAs suffered from impurities and a suspected alternative activated monomer mechanism (AAMM) providing poor inclusion of the initiator and leading to multi-modal dispersed polymeric systems. The post-modification of poly(N-allyl glycine) via thiol-ene photo-addition was observed to be quantitative, with the utilization of photo-initiators, and facilitated in the first glyco-peptoid prepared under environmentally benign conditions. Furthermore, poly(N-allyl glycine) demonstrated thermo-responsive behavior and could be prepared as a semi-crystalline bio-relevant polymer from solution (ie. annealing). Initial efforts in preparing these polymers via standard poly-condensation protocols were insufficient (step-growth). However, a thermally induced side-product, diallyl diketopiperazine (DKP), afforded the opportunity to explore photo-induced thiol-ene and acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerizations. Thiol-ene polymerization readily led to low molecular weight polymers (<2.5 kDa), that were insoluble in most solvents except heated amide solvents (ie. DMF), whereas ADMET polymerization, with diallyl DKP, was unsuccessful due to a suspected 6 member complexation/deactivation state of the catalyst. This understanding prompted the preparation of elongated DKPs most notably dibutenyl DKP. SEC data supports the aforementioned understanding but requires further optimization studies in both the preparation of the DKP monomers and following ADMET polymerization. This work was supported by NMR, GC-MS, FT-IR, SEC-IR, and MALDI-Tof MS characterization. Polymer properties were measured by UV-Vis, TGA, and DSC. N2 - Die Annehmlichkeiten des Alltags und das hohe Alter das Menschen in der heutigen Zeit erreichen sind ein Ergebnis des wissenschaftlichen und technologischen Fortschritts. Insbesondere in der Medizin haben die Entwicklung neuartiger Medikamente und Therapien, künstlicher Knochen und Gewebeteile sowie der Einsatz von neuen Geräten für die Diagnostik und Assistenz bei Operationen enorm zu diesen Errungenschaften beigetragen. Jede Entwicklung fundierte letztlichen auf den Ergebnissen der Grundlagenforschung sei es von Mikro-/biologen (Identifikation anormalen Verhaltens), Biochemikern (Identifikation von Auslösern und Wirkzentren) Bio-/ organischen Chemikern (Synthese von Makro-/molekülen), Material-/chemikern (Materialsynthese) und/oder Ingenieuren/Mathematikern/Physikern (theoretischen Modelle und Berechnungen). Biomedizinische Anwendungen wie z.B. Biosensoren, künstliche Gewebeteile und Trägersubstanzen zur gezielten Wirkstofffreisetzung sind von besonderem Interesse. Materialien, die nach Kontakt mit einer Zelloberfläche in der Lage sind definiert ihre Struktur oder mechanischen Eigenschaften zu verändern und anschließend bioabbaubar sind ohne toxische Nebenwirkungen zu entfalten befriedigen die zuvor genannten Bedürfnisse. Organismen entwickeln Biomaterialien bereits seit Millionen von Jahren und sind daher ein typischer Startpunkt für die Inspiration zu vielversprechenden Substanzen. Peptoide, als Mimetika von Peptiden, werden bereits längerem von Bio-/chemikern synthetisiert und auf ihren therapeutischen Nutzen hin, neuerdings auch auf ihre Materialeigenschaften untersucht. Grundlegende Eigenschaften dieser Materialien sind ihre Biokompatibilität, kontrollierte Bioabbaubarkeit, thermische Prozessierbarkeit sowie ihre Fähigkeit zur Selbstorganisation in höher geordnete Strukturen. Die sequenzdefinierte Synthese ist jedoch aufwendig und teuer. In dieser Arbeit habe ich ein alternatives Herstellungsverfahren (Ringöffnungspolymerisation) entwickelt mit dem es möglich ist hochmolekulare Substanzen - genannt poly(N-substituierte Glycine) – herzustellen. Ich erwarte, dass diese Materialien ähnliche stimulus responsive und thermische Eigenschaften wie Polypeptide, die bereits intensiv auf ihre biomedizinische Anwendbarkeit untersucht werden, haben. Im Vergleich zu den strukturgleichen Peptiden erwarte ich eine höhere Biokompatibilität sodass diese Materialen eine vielversprechende neue Klasse biorelevanter Materialien darstellen könnte. Die fundamentalen Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit stellen eine Alternative zu den bekannten Methoden zur Herstellung poly(N-substituierter Glycine) dar. Selbige weisen stimulus responsives Verhalten und thermische Prozessierbarkeit auf, das vergleichbar ist mit bereits bekannten Materialien. Darüber hinaus erlauben sie die einfache und vielseitige Funktionalisierung für vielschichtige Anwendungen.

Underlying ionization mechanisms were elucidated by additional studies employing a drift cell interfaced to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Depending on the pressure, the primary ions H2S+, HS+, S+, and secondary ions, such as H3S+, were observed. The 2 + 1 REMPI spectrum of H2S near lambda = 302.5 nm was recorded at atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, the limit of detection and the linear range were established. In the second part of the work, H2S was investigated as an H2O analogous laser dopant for the ionization of polar substances by proton transfer. H2S exhibits a proton affinity (PA) similar to that of H2O, but a significantly lower ionization energy facilitating laser ionization. Ion-molecule reactions (IMR) of H3S+ with a variety of polar substances with PA between 754.6 and 841.6 kJ/mol were investigated. Representatives of different compound classes, including alcohols, ketones, esters, and nitroaromatics were analyzed. The IM spectra resulting from IMR of H3S+ and H3O+ with these substances are similar in structure, i.e., protonated monomer and dimer ion peaks are found depending on the analyte concentration.

Here, we demonstrate for the first time that DNA origami nanostructures can be exploited as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been arranged into dimers to create intense Raman scattering hot spots in the interparticle gaps. AuNPs (15 nm) covered with TAMRA-modified DNA have been placed at a nominal distance of 25 nm to demonstrate the formation of Raman hot spots. To control the plasmonic coupling between the nanoparticles and thus the field enhancement in the hot spot, the size of AuNPs has been varied from 5 to 28 nm by electroless Au deposition. By the precise positioning of a specific number of TAMRA molecules in these hot spots, SERS with the highest sensitivity down to the few-molecule level is obtained.

In this study the kinetics and the contribution of diffusion processes to 4-nitrophenol adsorption onto untreated sawdust was examined and the overall rate limiting step evaluated. The adsorption profile showed an initial rapid uptake of 4-nitrophenol which decreased and became almost constant after 5 min of contact. Analysis of the adsorption profile with the intraparticle diffusion equation and fractional 4-nitrophenol uptake with time showed that the profile can be divided into three different stages. The rate determining step of 4-nitrophenol adsorption was then evaluated based on the activation energies of each processes along with their activation parameters (Delta G*, Delta H* and Delta S*). The results revealed that external mass transfer was the overall rate limiting step with activation parameters E-a = 21.11, Delta H* = 23.75 and Delta S* = 144.97.

Cyclohexyl esters R-3-CCOOC6H11 (R = alkyl or H) were used as the model compounds. Special emphasis was laid on the potential contribution of the polar component in these steric substituent parameters. In the light of our model the Omega(S) scale seems to be dominantly a steric substituent constant scale as is seen on the strengths of the good correlation between the Omega(S) constants of the CR3 group and the total steric exchange energy values E-TSEE for the model compounds. However, the Omega(S) values also seem to include a minor electronic component due to the varying electrostatic effect via the C alpha atom. On the other hand, E-R and E-S' parameters largely hinge on the size dependent polar effect of the CR3 alkyl group. By way of our model this repulsive interaction can be quantified by descriptor Delta q(OCO), the natural charge difference q(C)(C=O) - Sigma qO for the O-C(=O) functional group. Delta q(OCO) depends on the E-TSEE values, on qC alpha and on the polarization coefficients of the oxygen hybrid in the NBO of the pi(C=O) bond. The size sensitivity of the kinetic E-S' constants can be connected to variation of the Burgi-Dunitz angle in the transition state for the standard reaction used. A comparison is made for the q(C)(C=O) or Delta q(OCO) values computed on the one hand with the NBO formalism and on the other hand with the Hirshfeld formalism. A practical novel substituent constant q(C)(C=O) for the size of the alkyl groups is introduced.

Functionalization of poly(ether imide) (PEI) membranes by grafting with monoamino PEG of different chain lengths (M-n=1kDa or 10kDa) and end groups (methoxy or hydroxyl) is proven by spectroscopy, changes of surface hydrophilicity, and surface shielding effects. The surface functionalization does lead to reduction of adsorption of BSA, but not of fibrinogen. The thrombocyte adhesion is increased compared to untreated PEI surfaces.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of materials that constructed by metal-containing nodes bonded to organic bridging ligands. MOFs could serve as an ideal platform for the development of next generation CO2 capture materials owing to their large capacity for the adsorption of gases and their structural and chemical tunability. The ability to rationally select the framework components is expected to allow the affinity of the internal pore surface toward CO2 to be precisely controlled, facilitating materials properties that are optimized for the specific type of CO2 capture to be performed (post-combustion capture, precombustion capture, or oxy-fuel combustion) and potentially even for the specific power plant in which the capture system is to be installed. For this reason, significant effort has been made in recent years in improving the gas separation performance of MOFs and some studies evaluating the prospects of deploying these materials in real-world CO2 capture systems have begun to emerge. We have developed six new MOFs, denoted as IFPs (IFP-5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, IFP = Imidazolate Framework Potsdam) and two hydrogen-bonded molecular building block (MBB, named as 1 and 2 for Zn and Co based, respectively) have been synthesized, characterized and applied for gas storage. The structure of IFP possesses 1D hexagonal channels. Metal centre and the substituent groups of C2 position of the linker protrude into the open channels and determine their accessible diameter. Interestingly, the channel diameters (range : 0.3 to 5.2 Å) for IFP structures are tuned by the metal centre (Zn, Co and Cd) and substituent of C2 position of the imidazolate linker. Moreover hydrogen bonded MBB of 1 and 2 is formed an in situ functionalization of a ligand under solvothermal condition. Two different types of channels are observed for 1 and 2. Materials contain solvent accessible void space. Solvent could be easily removed by under high vacuum. The porous framework has maintained the crystalline integrity even without solvent molecules. N2, H2, CO2 and CH4 gas sorption isotherms were performed. Gas uptake capacities are comparable with other frameworks. Gas uptake capacity is reduced when the channel diameter is narrow. For example, the channel diameter of IFP-5 (channel diameter: 3.8 Å) is slightly lower than that of IFP-1 (channel diameter: 4.2 Å); hence, the gas uptake capacity and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area are slightly lower than IFP-1. The selectivity does not depend only on the size of the gas components (kinetic diameter: CO2 3.3 Å, N2 3.6 Å and CH4 3.8 ) but also on the polarizability of the surface and of the gas components. IFP-5 and-6 have the potential applications for the separation of CO2 and CH4 from N2-containing gas mixtures and CO2 and CH4 containing gas mixtures. Gas sorption isotherms of IFP-7, -8, -9, -10 exhibited hysteretic behavior due to flexible alkoxy (e.g., methoxy and ethoxy) substituents. Such phenomenon is a kind of gate effects which is rarely observed in microporous MOFs. IFP-7 (Zn-centred) has a flexible methoxy substituent. This is the first example where a flexible methoxy substituent shows the gate opening behavior in a MOF. Presence of methoxy functional group at the hexagonal channels, IFP-7 acted as molecular gate for N2 gas. Due to polar methoxy group and channel walls, wide hysteretic isotherm was observed during gas uptake. The N2 The estimated BET surface area for 1 is 471 m2 g-1 and the Langmuir surface area is 570 m2 g-1. However, such surface area is slightly higher than azolate-based hydrogen-bonded supramolecular assemblies and also comparable and higher than some hydrogen-bonded porous organic molecules. N2 - Metallorganische Gerüstverbindungen (MOFs) sind eine neue Klasse von porösen Koordinationspolymeren, die aus Metall-Knoten und verbrückenden Liganden bestehen. MOFs können Gasgemische trennen und Gase speichern. Aufgrund ihres modularen Aufbaus können die MOF-Eigenschaften systematisch variiert werden. Ein wichtiges Ziel für das Design von MOFs ist die Synthese von Materialien, die eine hohe selektive Aufnahmefähigkeit und -kapazität für Kohlenstoffdioxid besitzen. Im Rahmen der Arbeit ist es gelungen sechs neue MOFs (IFP-5, -6, -7, -8, -9 und -10) zu synthetisieren. Diese MOFs tragen die Kurzbezeichnung IFP. IFP steht als Abkürzung für Imidazolat-Framework-Potsdam (Imidazolat-basierte Gerüstverbindung Potsdam). In diesen IFPs wurde der Metallknoten (Zink, Cobalt, Cadmium) und der Brückenligand, ein 2-substituiertes Imidazolat-amid-imidat, in der Position variiert, um gute und selektive Sorptionseigenschaften für Kohlenstoffdioxid zu erzielen. Von den synthetisierten Verbindungen hat das IFP-5 die besten Sorptionseigenschaften für Kohlenstoffdioxid. Es konnte weiter gezeigt werden, dass sich die IFP-Struktur bei der Wahl von geeigneten Substituenten 2, wie z.B. Methoxy und Ethoxy auch für das Design von gate-opening (Tür-öffnenden) Effekten eignet. Diese Effekte können wiederum genutzt werden, um selektiv Gasmischungen zu trennen. Wenn man das 4,5-Dicyano-2-methoxy-imidazol in Gegenwart von Zink- und Cobalt-Salzen unter solvothermalen Bedingungen zur Reaktion bringt, erhält man beispiellose supramolekulare Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen zu einem dreidimensionalen Netzwerk, die mit Kanälen verknüpft sind. Diese Kanäle können von Lösungsmittelmolekülen (Wasser und Dimethylformamid) befreit werden und Gase aufnehmen. Insgesamt besteht nun die neue MOF-Klasse der Imidazolat-basierten IFPs aus Vertretern. Das Potential der 2-substituierten 4,5-Dicyanoimidazole ist nicht nur auf die Bildung von porösen Koordinationspolymeren beschränkt, sondern kann auch für die Synthese von bisher unbekannten supramolekularen Strukturen genutzt werden.

However, the use of this method for studying dilute aqueous systems, such as metalloenzymes, has not been prevalent because of severe radiation damage and the lack of suitable detection systems. Here we present spectra from a dilute Mn aqueous solution using a high-transmission zone-plate spectrometer at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The spectrometer has been optimized for discriminating the Mn L-edge signal from the overwhelming 0 K-edge background that arises from water and protein itself, and the ultrashort LCLS X-ray pulses can outrun X-ray induced damage. We show that the deviations of the partial-fluorescence yield-detected spectra from the true absorption can be well modeled using the state-dependence of the fluorescence yield, and discuss implications for the application of our concept to biological samples.

Copolymerization is increasingly difficult with increasing amounts of the azo-dye-bearing monomer. The resulting water-soluble polymers are thermosensitive, exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, which can be modulated by the photoinduced trans-cis isomerization of the dye. While already small contents of the hydrophobic azobenzene group reduce the phase-transition temperatures of the copolymers strongly, photoisomerization of the apolar trans-state to the more-polar cis-state has only a small effect, and decreases rather than increases the cloud points.

The first part of this thesis is focusing on the use of the urea-glass route towards single phase manganese nitride and manganese nitride/oxide nano-composites embedded in carbon, while the second part of the thesis is focusing on the use of the “saccharide route” (namely cellulose, sucrose, glucose and lignin) towards metal (Ni0), metal alloy (Pd0.9Ni0.1, Pd0.5Ni0.5, Fe0.5Ni0.5, Cu0.5Ni0.5 and W0.15Ni0.85) and ternary carbide (Mn0.75Fe2.25C) nanoparticles embedded in carbon. In the interest of battery application, MnN0.43 nanoparticles surrounded by a graphitic shell and embedded in carbon with a high surface area (79 m^2/g) were synthesized, following a previously set route.The comparison of the material characteristics before and after the discharge showed no remarkable difference in terms of composition and just slight differences in the morphological point of view, meaning the particles are stable but agglomerate. The graphitic shell is contributing to the resistance of the material and leads to a fine cyclic stability over 140 cycles of 230 mAh/g after the first charge/discharge and coulombic efficiencies close to 100%. Due to the low voltage towards Li/Li+ and the low polarization, it might be an attractive anode material for lithium ion batteries. However, the capacity is still noticeably lower than the theoretical value for MnN0.43. A mixture of MnN0.43 and MnO nanoparticles embedded in carbon (surface area 93 m^2/g) was able to improve the cyclic stability to over 160 cycles giving a capacity of 811 mAh/g, which is considerably higher than the capacity of the conventional material graphite (372 mAh/g). This nano-composite seems to agglomerate less during the process of discharge. Interestingly, although the capacity is much higher than of the single phase manganese nitride, the nano-composite seems to only contain MnN0.43 nanoparticles after the process of discharge with no oxide phase to be found. Concerning catalysis application, different metal, metal alloy, and metal carbide nanoparticles were synthesized using the saccharide route. At first, systems that were already investigated before, being Pd0.9Ni0.1, Pd0.5Ni0.5, Fe0.5Ni0.5 and Mn0.75Fe2.25C using cellulose as the carbon source were prepared and tested in an alkylation reaction of toluene with benzylchloride. Unexpectedly, the metal alloys did not show any catalytic activity, but the ternary carbide Mn0.75Fe2.25C showed fine catalytic activity of 98% conversion after 9 hour reaction time (110 °C). In a second step, the saccharide route was modified towards other carbon sources and carbon to metal ratios in order to improve the homogeneity of the samples and accessibility of the particle surfaces. The used carbon sources sucrose and glucose are similar in their basic structure of carbohydrates, but reducing the (polymeric) chain length. Indeed, the cellulose could be successfully replaced by sucrose and glucose. A lower carbon to metal ratio was found to influence the size, homogeneity and accessibility (as evidenced by TEM) of the samples. Since sucrose is an aliment, glucose is the better choice as a carbon source. Using glucose, the synthesis of Cu0.5Ni0.5 and W0.15Ni0.85 nano-composites was also possible, although the later was never obtained as pure phase. These alloy nano-composites were tested, along with nickel0 nanoparticles also prepared with glucose and on their catalytic activity towards the reduction of phenylacetylene. The results obtained let believe that any (poly) saccharide, including lignin, could be used as carbon source. The nickel0 nano-composites prepared with lignin as a carbon source were tested along with those prepared with cellulose and sucrose for their catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation of nitrobenzene (results compared with exposed nickel nanoparticles and nickel supported on carbon) leading to very promising results. Based on the urea-glass route and the saccharide route, simple equipment and transition metals, it was possible to have a one-pot synthesize with scale-up possibilities towards new material that can be applied in catalysis and battery systems. N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird sowohl die Synthese von Mangannitrid- und -oxid-Nanopartikeln, als auch die Synthese verschiedener Metall- und Legierungsnanopartikel untersucht. Einen Schwerpunkt stellt dabei die Optimierung der Synthese unter den Gesichtspunkten der Nachhaltigkeit dar, was sich insbesondere in der Verwendung diverser nachwachsender Rohstoffe als Kohlenstoffquelle äußert. Für eine mögliche Anwendung in Akkumulatoren werden mit Graphit ummantelte MnN0.43-Nanopartikel mit einer großen Oberfläche (79 m^2/g) synthetisiert. Diese werden exemplarischen Ladezyklen unterzogen, wobei eine strukturelle und auch elektrochemische Stabilität festgestellt werden kann. Eine Mischung der Mangannitride mit Manganoxiden führt zu einer weiteren Verbesserung der Ladekapazität und einer weiteren Oberflächenvergrößerung (93 m^2/g). Die Langlebigkeit der Strukturen wird durch die Einbettung der Nanopartikel in Kohlenstoff unterstützt und kann zu einer Anwendung als Anodenmaterial in den heutzutage vielfach verwendeten Lithiumionen-Akkus führen. Im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit ist auch die Entwicklung von Katalysatoren. Dabei soll insbesondere die Verwendung von Lignin, was als Bestandteil vieler Pflanzen zwar leicht verfügbar, aber unglücklicherweise bisher chemisch unverwertbar ist, fokussiert werden. Um sich diesem Ziel zu nähern und entsprechende Mechanismen zur Reduktion des Lignins zu entwickeln, werden in dieser Arbeit zunächst verschiedene Kohlenstoffquellen (wie Cellulose, Sucrose und Glucose) zur Synthese von reduktiven Katalysatoren untersucht. Der Kohlenstoff dient dabei sowohl als preiswertes Reduktionsmittel für Metallsalze zur Gewinnung von Metallnanopartikel als auch zur Stabilisierung ebendieser. Es werden vielfältige Legierungen mit Nickel (z.B. Pd0.9Ni0.1, Pd0.5.Ni0.5, Fe0.5.Ni0.5, und Cu0.5.Ni0.5) aber auch ternäre Carbide (z.B. Mn0.75Fe2.25C) erhalten, die schon in ersten Alkylierungs- und Hydrierungsreaktionen ein großes Potential als Katalysatoren zeigen. Um die erhaltenen Nanopartikel in zukünftigen Anwendungen nutzbar zu machen, ist eine ausführliche Charakterisierung unabdingbar. Auch die Ergebnisse der zahlreichen durchgeführten Analysen werden in dieser Arbeit zusammengestellt und bilden gemeinsam mit den optimierten Syntheserouten einen tiefgreifenden Überblick über dieses Forschungsfeld.

T1 - Continuous synthesis of pyridocarbazoles and initial photophysical and bioprobe characterization N2 - Pyridocarbazoles when ligated to transition metals yield high affinity kinase inhibitors. While batch photocyclizations enable the synthesis of these heterocycles, the non-oxidative Mallory reaction only provides modest yields and difficult to purify mixtures. We demonstrate here that a flow-based Mallory cyclization provides superior results and enables observation of a clear isobestic point. The flow method allowed us to rapidly synthesize ten pyridocarbazoles and for the first time to document their interesting photophysical attributes. Preliminary characterization reveals that these molecules might be a new class of fluorescent bioprobe.

Oligo(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether acrylate was engaged as a hydrophilic building block, while benzyl acrylate and 3-tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl propyl acrylate served as hydrophobic building blocks. The resulting "triphilic" copolymer consists thus of a hydrophilic (A) and two mutually incompatible "soft" hydrophobic blocks, namely, a lipophilic (B) and a silicone-based (C) block, with all blocks having glass transition temperatures well below 0 A degrees C. The triphilic copolymer self-assembles into spherical multicompartment micellar aggregates in aqueous solution, where the two hydrophobic blocks undergo local phase separation into various ultrastructures as evidenced by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Thus, a silicone-based polymer block can replace the hitherto typically employed fluorocarbon-based hydrophobic blocks in triphilic block copolymers for inducing multicompartmentalisation.

PEI incorporated into a ternary w/o microemulsion consisting of water/heptanol/zwitterionic surfactant 3-(N,N-dimethyl-dodecylammonio)-propanesulfonate (SB) acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent and shows an additional template effect. The nanoparticle synthesis is performed by a simple mixing of two microemulsions, one containing the PEI and the other one containing the gold chloride precursor. UV-vis measurements in the microemulsion show two pronounced absorption maxima, one at 360 nm and the other one at 520 nm, indicating two particle fractions. The absorption maximum at 360 nm in combination to the unique fluorescence properties indicate the formation of gold clusters. After a complete solvent evaporation the redispersed nanoparticles have been characterized by using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, in combination to dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition to the gold nanoparticle fraction (>5 nm) the fluorescent gold cluster fraction (<2 nm) can be redispersed without particle aggregation.

Das Hauptziel bildet dabei die Auswahl einer geeigneten Mikroemulsion, zur Synthese von kleinen, stabilen, reproduzierbaren Nanopartikeln mit besonderen Eigenschaften. Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in zwei Haupteile gegliedert. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit der Einmischung von unterschiedlichen Polykationen (lineares Poly (diallyldimethylammoniumchlorid) (PDADMAC) und verzweigtes Poly (ethylenimin) (PEI)) in verschiedene, auf unterschiedlichen Tensiden (CTAB - kationisch, SDS - anionisch, SB - zwitterionisch) basierenden, Mikroemulsionssysteme. Dabei zeigt sich, dass das Einmischen der Polykationen in die Wassertröpfchen der Wasser-in-Öl (W/O) Mikroemulsion prinzipiell möglich ist. Der Einfluss der verschiedenen Polykationen auf das Phasenverhalten der W/O Mikroemulsion ist jedoch sehr unterschiedlich. In Gegenwart des kationischen Tensids führen die repulsiven Wechselwirkungen mit den Polykationen zu einer Destabilisierung des Systems, während die ausgeprägten Wechselwirkungen mit dem anionischen Tensid in einer deutlichen Stabilisierung des Systems resultieren. Für das zwitterionische Tensid führen die moderaten Wechselwirkungen mit den Polykationen zu einer partiellen Stabilisierung. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Einsatz der unterschiedlichen, Polyelektrolyt- modifizierten Mikroemulsionen als Templatphase für die Herstellung verschiedener, anorganischer Nanopartikel. Die CTAB-basierte Mikroemulsion erweist sich dabei als ungeeignet für die Herstellung von CdS Nanopartikeln, da zum einen nur eine geringe Toleranz gegenüber den Reaktanden vorhanden ist (Destabilisierungseffekt) und zum anderen das Partikelwachstum durch den Polyelektrolyt-Tensid-Film nicht ausreichend begrenzt wird. Zudem zeigt sich, dass eine Abtrennung der Partikel aus der Mikroemulsion nicht möglich ist. Die SDS-basierten Mikroemulsionen, erweisen sich als geeignete Templatphase zur Synthese kleiner anorganischer Nanopartikel (3 – 20 nm). Sowohl CdS Quantum Dots, als auch Gold Nanopartikel konnten erfolgreich in der Mikroemulsion synthetisiert werden, wobei das verzweigte PEI einen interessanten Templat-Effekt in der Mikroemulsion hervorruft. Als deutlicher Nachteil der SDS-basierten Mikroemulsionen offenbaren sich die starken Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Tensid und den Polyelektrolyten während der Aufarbeitung der Nanopartikel aus der Mikroemulsion. Dabei erweist sich die Polyelektrolyt-Tensid-Komplexbildung als hinderlich für die Redispergierung der CdS Quantum Dots in Wasser, so dass Partikelaggregation einsetzt. Die SB-basierten Mikroemulsionen erweisen sich als günstige Templatphase für die Bildung von größen- und eigenschaftenoptimierten Nanopartikeln (< 4 nm), wobei insbesondere eine Modifizierung mit PEI als ideal betrachtet werden kann. In Gegenwart des verzweigten PEI gelang es erstmals ultrakleine, fluoreszierende Gold Cluster (< 2 nm) in einer SB-basierten Mikroemulsion als Templatphase herzustellen. Als besonderer Vorteil der SB-basierten Mikroemulsion zeigen sich die moderaten Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem zwitterionischen Tensid und den Polyelektrolyten, welche eine anschließende Abtrennung der Partikel aus der Mikroemulsion unter Erhalt der Größe und ihrer optischen Eigenschaften ermöglichen. In der redispergierten wässrigen Lösung gelang somit eine Auftrennung der PEI-modifizierten Partikel mit Hilfe der asymmetrischer Fluss Feldflussfraktionierung (aF FFF). Die gebildeten Nanopartikel zeigen interessante optische Eigenschaften und können zum Beispiel erfolgreich zur Modifizierung von Biosensoren eingesetzt werden. N2 - This work is focused on the formation, recovery and characterisation of inorganic nanoparticles in a tailor-made polycation-modified reverse microemulsion. The main aim is the choice of an adequate microemulsion for the synthesis of small, uniform, reproducible nanoparticles with specialn characteristics. The first part is focused on the incorporation of two different polycations, low molecular weight linear poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and low molecular weight branched poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) in different surfactant-based (CTAB – cationic, SDS – anionic, SB - zwitterionic) w/o microemulsions. In principle the incorporation of the polycations in the small water droplets is possible, but the influence of the polycations on the phase behaviour is different. Repulsive interactions induce a destabilisation of the w/o microemulsion for cationic surfactant CTAB, while the distinctive interactions between the anionic surfactant SDS and the polycations induce an extension of the phase range and a considerable stabilisation. In case of zwitterionic surfactant SB a partial destabilisation can be observed, according to the lower interactions with the polycations. The second part is focused on the formation of different, inorganic nanoparticles in these polyelectrolyte-modified reverse microemulsions as a template phase. The CTAB-based microemulsion is not adequate for the formation of CdS nanoparticles, according to the low tolerance towards the reactants (destabilisation effect). Furthermore the particle growth cannot be limited by the surfactant-polycation-film and a recovery of the nanoparticles from the microemulsion is not possible. The results show that the SDS-based quaternary template phase consisting of water, toluene-pentanol (1:1), and the anionic surfactant SDS in presence of PEI or PDADMAC can be successfully used for the synthesis of polymer capped inorganic nanoparticles (3 – 20 nm). CdS quantum dots, as well as gold nanoparticles are successfully synthesised in the microemulsion droplets. Especially PEI acts as a reducing and stabilizing agent and shows an additional, interesting template effect in the microemulsion. Unfortunately a recovery of the nanoparticles without a particle aggregation is not possible due to the strong surfactant polycation interactions, which lead to polycation-surfactant complexes. The SB-based microemulsion can be successfully used as a tailor-made polycation-modifiedreverse microemulsion for the formation of small, uniform nanoparticles (< 4 nm) with special characteristics. Especially a modification with PEI is optimal and for the first time small, fluorescent gold cluster (< 2 nm) can be synthesised in a SB-based microemulsion as template phase. The results show that the electrostatic interactions between the polycation and the surfactant are of high relevance especially in the solvent evaporation and redispersion process. That means only in the case of moderate polycation-surfactant interactions a redispersion of the polymer capped particles without problems of aggregation is possible and the size and characteristics are unchanged in the redispersed solution. By means of asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (af-fff) it becomes possible to separate the two cluster fractions from each other as well as from the nanoparticle fraction with diameter > 5 nm. This opens a way to use the nanoparticles with their interesting, optical characteristics in different new fields of application for example for modification of biosensors.

Bei Anlegen einer elektrischen Spannung, ziehen sich die Elektroden aufgrund elektrostatischer Wechselwirkungen an, wodurch das Elastomer in z-Richtung zusammengepresst wird und sich dementsprechend in der x-,y-Ebene ausdehnt. Hierdurch werden Aktuationsbewegungen erreicht, welche sehr präzise über die Spannung gesteuert werden können. Zusätzlich sind DEAs kostengünstig, leicht und aktuieren geräuschlos. DEAs können beispielsweise für Produkte im medizinischen Bereich oder für optischer Komponenten genutzt werden. Ebenso kann aus diesen Bauteilen Strom erzeugt werden. Das größte Hindernis für eine weite Implementierung dieser Materialien liegt in den erforderlichen hohen Spannungen zum Erzeugen der Aktuationsbewegung, welche sich tendenziell im Kilovolt-Bereich befinden. Dies macht die Elektronik teuer und die Bauteile unsicher für Anwender. Um geringere Betriebsspannungen für die DEAs zu erreichen, sind signifikante Materialverbesserungen - insbesondere des verwendeten Elastomers - erforderlich. Um dies zu erreichen, können die dielektrischen Eigenschaften (Permittivität) der Elastomere gesteigert und/oder deren Steifigkeit (Young-Modul) gesenkt werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnte die Aktuationsleistung von Silikonfilmen durch die Addition organischer Dipole erheblich verbessert werden. Hierfür wurde ein Verfahren etabliert, um funktionalisierte Dipole kovalent an das Polymernetzwerk zu binden. Dieser als "One-Step-Verfahren" bezeichnete Ansatz ist einfach durchzuführen und es werden homogene Filme erhalten. Die Dipoladdition wurde anhand verschiedener Silikone erprobt, die sich hinsichtlich ihrer mechanischen Eigenschaften unterschieden. Bei maximalem Dipolgehalt verdoppelte sich die Permittivität aller untersuchten Silikone und die Filme wurden deutlich weicher. Hierbei war festzustellen, dass die Netzwerkstruktur der verwendeten Silikone einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die erreichte Aktuationsdehnung hat. Abhängig vom Netzwerk erfolgte eine enorme Steigerung der Aktuationsleistung im Bereich von 100 % bis zu 4000 %. Dadurch können die Betriebsspannungen in DEAs deutlich abgesenkt werden, so dass sie tendenziell bei Spannungen unterhalb von einem Kilovolt betrieben werden können. N2 - Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are compliant capacitors consisting of an elastomer film between two flexible electrodes. When a voltage is applied the electrostatic attraction of the electrodes leads to a contraction of the polymer in the z-direction and to a corresponding expansion in the x,y-plane. DEAs show high actuation strains, which are very accurate and adjustable by the applied voltage. In addition these devices are low-cost, low-weight and the actuation is noise-free. DEAs can be used for medical applications, optical components or for energy harvesting. The main obstacle for a broad implementation of this technology is the high driving voltage, which tends to be several thousand volts. For this reason the devices are unsafe for users and the needed electronic components are expensive. A significant improvement of the materials - especially of the used elastomer - is necessary to lower the actuation voltages. This can be achieved by improving the dielectric properties (permittivity) of the elastomer and/or by lowering it's stiffness (Young's modulus). In this work the actuation performance of silicone lms was improved significantly by the addition of organic dipoles. A simple procedure was developed, in which functionalized dipoles were bound to the polymer matrix, leading to homogenous and transparent films. This so-called "one-step-film-formation" was tested on various silicones with different mechanical properties. For the highest dipole content the permittivity of all tested silicones was doubled and the modified films showed a substantially lower stiffness. It was proven that the structure of the macromolecular network has a clear impact on the achievable actuation properties. For the highest dipole contents the actuation performance increased remarkably by 100 % up to 4000 % in respect to the investigated network. The addition of organic dipoles to the elastomer enables a signicant reduction of the needed driving voltage for DEAs below one kilovolt.

The study is focussed on changes of the molecular electronic structure and geometry, caused either by photoexcitation in the event of a spectroscopic analysis, or by a selective control with shaped laser pulses. The applied and developed methods are predominantly based on quantum chemistry as well as on electron and nuclear quantum dynamics, and in parts on molecular dynamics. The studied scientific problems deal with stereoisomerism and the question of how to either switch or distinguish chiral molecules using laser pulses, and with the essentials for the simulation of the spectroscopic response of biochromophores, in order to unravel their photophysics. The accomplished findings not only explain experimental results and extend existing approaches, but also contribute significantly to the basic understanding of the investigated light-driven molecular processes. The main achievements can be divided in three parts: First, a quantum theory for an enantio- and diastereoselective or, in general, stereoselective laser pulse control was developed and successfully applied to influence the chirality of molecular switches. The proposed axially chiral molecules possess different numbers of "switchable" stable chiral conformations, with one particular switch featuring even a true achiral "off"-state which allows to enantioselectively "turn on" its chirality. Furthermore, surface mounted chiral molecular switches with several well-defined orientations were treated, where a newly devised highly flexible stochastic pulse optimization technique provides high stereoselectivity and efficiency at the same time, even for coupled chirality-changing degrees of freedom. Despite the model character of these studies, the proposed types of chiral molecular switches and, all the more, the developed basic concepts are generally applicable to design laser pulse controlled catalysts for asymmetric synthesis, or to achieve selective changes in the chirality of liquid crystals or in chiroptical nanodevices, implementable in information processing or as data storage. Second, laser-driven electron wavepacket dynamics based on ab initio calculations, namely time-dependent configuration interaction, was extended by the explicit inclusion of magnetic field-magnetic dipole interactions for the simulation of the qualitative and quantitative distinction of enantiomers in mass spectrometry by means of circularly polarized ultrashort laser pulses. The developed approach not only allows to explain the origin of the experimentally observed influence of the pulse duration on the detected circular dichroism in the ion yield, but also to predict laser pulse parameters for an optimal distinction of enantiomers by ultrashort shaped laser pulses. Moreover, these investigations in combination with the previous ones provide a fundamental understanding of the relevance of electric and magnetic interactions between linearly or non-linearly polarized laser pulses and (pro-)chiral molecules for either control by enantioselective excitation or distinction by enantiospecific excitation. Third, for selected light-sensitive biological systems of central importance, like e.g. antenna complexes of photosynthesis, simulations of processes which take place during and after photoexcitation of their chromophores were performed, in order to explain experimental (spectroscopic) findings as well as to understand the underlying photophysical and photochemical principles. In particular, aspects of normal mode mixing due to geometrical changes upon photoexcitation and their impact on (time-dependent) vibronic and resonance Raman spectra, as well as on intramolecular energy redistribution were addressed. In order to explain unresolved experimental findings, a simulation program for the calculation of vibronic and resonance Raman spectra, accounting for changes in both vibrational frequencies and normal modes, was created based on a time-dependent formalism. In addition, the influence of the biochemical environment on the electronic structure of the chromophores was studied by electrostatic interactions and mechanical embedding using hybrid quantum-classical methods. Environmental effects were found to be of importance, in particular, for the excitonic coupling of chromophores in light-harvesting complex II. Although the simulations for such highly complex systems are still restricted by various approximations, the improved approaches and obtained results have proven to be important contributions for a better understanding of light-induced processes in biosystems which also adds to efforts of their artificial reproduction. N2 - Die Habilitationsschrift behandelt theoretische Untersuchungen von durch Licht ausgelösten Prozessen in Molekülen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Veränderungen in der Elektronenstruktur und der Geometrie der Moleküle, die durch Bestrahlung mit Licht entweder bei einer spektroskopischen Untersuchung oder bei gezielter Kontrolle durch geformte Laserpulse herbeigeführt werden. Um die dabei auftretende Elektronen- und Kerndynamik zu simulieren, wurden vornehmlich quantentheoretische Methoden eingesetzt und weiterentwickelt. Die wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen beschäftigen sich mit dem gezielten Verändern und dem Erkennen der räumlichen Struktur von Molekülen ohne Drehspiegelachse, der sog. molekularen Chiralität, sowie mit durch Licht eingeleiteten Prozessen in biologisch relevanten Pigmenten auf sehr kurzen Zeitskalen. Die entwickelten Ansätze und gewonnenen Erkenntnisse lassen sich drei Haupterfolge unterteilen: Erstens gelang die Entwicklung einer generellen Kontrolltheorie für das Ein- und Umschalten von molekularer Chiralität mit geformten Laserpulsen. Dabei wird die räumliche Struktur der vorgeschlagenen molekularen Schalter zwischen ihren stabilen sog. stereoisomeren Formen selektiv geändert, was sich auf ihre optischen und chemischen Eigenschaften auswirkt. Für komplexere Bedingungen, wie z.B. auf einer Oberfläche verankerten molekularen Schaltern verschiedener Orientierung, wurde eine neue Pulsoptimierungsmethode basierend auf Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Statistik entwickelt. Solche laserpulskontrollierten chiralen molekularen Schalter hofft man u.a. in der Nanotechnologie zum Einsatz zu bringen, wo sie z.B. als Informationsspeicher dienen könnten. Zweitens konnte geklärt werden, welche die wesentlichen Einflüsse sind, die das Erkennen von sog. Enantiomeren, das sind spiegelbildliche Moleküle von entgegengesetzter Chiralität, nach Ionisierung durch ultrakurze zirkular polarisierte Laserpulse ermöglichen. Diese Form des sog. Zirkulardichroismus in der Ionenausbeute erlaubt die quantitative und qualitative Unterscheidung von Enantiomeren in der Massenspektrometrie. Durch Simulation der Elektronendynamik während der Laseranregung konnte u.a. erstmals gezeigt werden, dass neben der Zirkularpolarisation der Laserpulse vor allem die schwachen magnetischen Wechselwirkungen für die Unterscheidung entscheidend sind. Drittens wurden die Spektren von in der Natur vorkommenden Pigmenten simuliert, welche u.a. an wichtigen biologischen Funktionen, wie dem Sammeln von Sonnenenergie für die Photosynthese, beteiligt sind. Die Lichtanregung führt dabei zu einer Veränderung der Elektronenstruktur und Geometrie der Pigmente, wobei letzteres wichtige Konsequenzen für die Verteilung der Energie auf die spektroskopisch beobachteten Molekülschwingungen mit sich bringen. Auch der wichtige Einfluss der biochemischen Umgebung auf die Elektronenstruktur der Pigmente bzw. den Energietransfer zwischen solchen wurde untersucht. Neben der Klärung experimenteller Ergebnisse ermöglichen die Untersuchungen neue Einblicke in die fundamentalen Prozesse kurz nach der Lichtanregung -- Erkenntnisse, die auch für die technische Nachahmung der biologischen Funktionen von Bedeutung sein können.

Photoionization is included by a heuristic model within calculations employing standard Gaussian basis sets. Benzo[g]-N-methyl-quinolinium-7-hydroxylate (BMQ7H) serves as a test system to generate predefined wave packets, i.e. a superposition between the ground and fifth excited state, in a large molecule. For this molecule, these two states have a very similar geometry, which enables us to use the fixed nuclei approximation. Furthermore, this geometric stability would also prevent a dephasing of the electron wave packet due to nuclear dynamics in an experimental realization of our simulations. We also simulate the possible detection of such a wave packet by ultra short probe laser pulses, i.e. pump-probe spectra.

A1 - Bald, Ilko T1 - Electron-induced damage of biotin studied in the gas phase and in the condensed phase at a single-molecule level JF - New journal of physics : the open-access journal for physics N2 - Biotin is an essential vitamin that is, on the one hand, relevant for the metabolism, gene expression and in the cellular response to DNA damage and, on the other hand, finds numerous applications in biotechnology. The functionality of biotin is due to two particular sub-structures, the ring structure and the side chain with carboxyl group. The heterocyclic ring structure results in the capability of biotin to form strong intermolecular hydrogen and van der Waals bonds with proteins such as streptavidin, whereas the carboxyl group can be employed to covalently bind biotin to other complex molecules. Dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to biotin results in a decomposition of the ring structure and the carboxyl group, respectively, within resonant features in the energy range 0-12 eV, thereby preventing the capability of biotin for intermolecular binding and covalent coupling to other molecules. Specifically, the fragment anions (M-H)(-), (M-O)(-), C3N2O-, CH2O2-, OCN-, CN-, OH- and O- are observed, and exemplarily the DEA cross section of OCN- formation is determined to be 3 x 10(-19) cm(2). To study the response of biotin to electrons within a complex condensed environment, we use the DNA origami technique and determine a dissociation yield of (1.1 +/- 0.2) x 10(-14) cm(2) at 18 eV electron energy, which represents the most relevant energy for biomolecular damage induced by secondary electrons. The present results thus have important implications for the use of biotin as a label in radiation experiments.
