The brominated polymer was used as a polyfunctional macroinitiator for the cationic ring-opening polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline to yield a water-soluble brush polymer. Nucleophilic substitution of bromide by 1-methyl imidazole resulted in the formation of polyelectrolyte copolymers consisting of mixed units of imidazolium, bromo, and double bond. These copolymers, which were soluble in water without forming aggregates, were used as stabilizers in the heterophase polymerization of styrene and were also studied for their ionic conducting properties.

Polyelectrolyte multilayers of poly(sodium-4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) prepared at different NaF, NaCl and NaBr concentrations have been investigated by neutron reflectometry against vacuum, H2O and D2O. Both thickness and water content of the multilayers increase with increasing ionic strength and increasing ion size. Two types of water were identified, "void water" which fills the voids of the multilayers and does not contribute to swelling but to a change in scattering length density and "swelling water" which directly contributes to swelling of the multilayers. The amount of void water decreases with increasing salt concentration and anion radius while the amount of swelling water increases with salt concentration and anion radius. This is interpreted as a denser structure in the dry state and larger ability to swell in water (sponge) for multilayers prepared from high ionic strengths and/or salt solution of large anions. No exchange of hydration water or replacement of H by D was detected even after eight hours incubation time in water of opposing isotopic composition.

It consists of introducing large dihedral angles between azobenzene moieties linked via aryl-aryl connections in their para positions. Four bisazobenzenes exhibiting different dihedral angles as well as three single azobenzene reference compounds have been synthesized, and their switching behavior has been studied as well as experimentally and theoretically analyzed. As the dihedral angle between the two azobenzene units increases and consequently the electronic conjugation decreases, the photochromic characteristics improve, finally leading to individual azobenzene switches operating independently in the case of the perpendicular ortho,ortho,ortho',ortho'-tetramethyl biphenyl linker. The electronic decoupling leads to efficient separation of the absorption spectra of the involved switching states and hence by choosing the appropriate irradiation wavelength, an almost quantitative E -> Z photoisomerization up to 97% overall Z-content can be achieved. In addition, thermal Z -> E isomerization processes become independent of each other with increasing decoupling. The electronic decoupling could furthermore be proven by electrochemistry. The experimental data are supported by theory, and calculations additionally provide mechanistic insight into the preferred pathway for the thermal Z,Z -> Z,E -> E,E isomerization via inversion on the inner N-atoms. Our decoupling approach outlined herein provides the basis for constructing rigid rod architectures composed of multiple azobenzene photochromes, which display practically quantitative photoswitching properties, a necessary prerequisite to achieve highly efficient transduction of light energy directly into motion.

Substitution pattern and solvent polarity were found to affect notably the wavelengths and intensities of the pi-pi*- and n-pi*-transition of the thiocarbonyl bond of dithioester and trithiocarbonate RAFT agents. Therefore, it is advisable to refer in end group analysis to the spectral parameters of low molar mass analogues of the active polymer chain ends, rather than to rely on the specific RAFT agent engaged in the polymerisation. When using appropriate conditions, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups via the pi-pi* band of the thiocarbonyl moiety around 300-310 nm allows a facile, sensitive and surprisingly precise estimation of the number average molar mass of the polymers produced, without the need of particular end group labels. Moreover, when additional methods for absolute molar mass determination can be applied, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups by UV-spectroscopy provides a good estimate of the degree of active end group for a given polymer sample.

Small molecules, i.e., HF, H(2)O, NH(3), and CH(4), are treated mostly with polarized valence double zeta basis sets. We determine the coupled cluster ground states by imaginary time propagation for these molecules. Excited state energies are obtained from the Fourier transform of the time-dependent dipole moment after an ultrashort, broadband laser excitation. The time-dependent expectation values are calculated from the complex cluster amplitudes using the corresponding configuration interaction singles doubles wave functions. Also resonant laser excitations of these excited states are simulated, in order to explore the limits for the numerical stability of our current TD-CCSD implementation, which uses time-independent molecular orbitals to form excited configurations.

Water at high temperature and pressure acts as a benign solvent. Motivation to work under hydrothermal conditions was well-founded in the tunability of physicochemical properties with temperature, e.g. of dielectric constant, density or ion product, which often resulted in surprising reactivity. Another cornerstone was the implementation of the principles of green chemistry. Besides the use of water as solvent, this included the employment of a sustainable feedstock and the sensible use of resources by minimizing waste and harmful intermediates and additives. To evaluate the feasibility of hydrothermal conditions for chemical synthesis, exemplary reactions were performed. These were carried out in a continuous flow reactor, allowing for precise control of reaction conditions and kinetics measurements. In most experiments a temperature of 200 °C in combination with a pressure of 100 bar was chosen. In some cases the temperature was even raised to 300 °C. Water in this subcritical range can also be found in nature at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor. On the primitive earth, environments with such conditions were however present in larger numbers. Therefore we tested whether biologically important carbohydrates could be formed at high temperature from the simple, probably prebiotic precursor formaldehyde. Indeed, this formose reaction could be carried out successfully, although the yield was lower compared to the counterpart reaction under ambient conditions. However, striking differences regarding selectivity and necessary catalysts were observed. At moderate temperatures bases and catalytically active cations like Ca2+ are necessary and the main products are hexoses and pentoses, which accumulate due to their higher stability. In contrast, in high-temperature water no catalyst was necessary but a slightly alkaline solution was sufficient. Hexoses were only formed in negligible amounts, whereas pentoses and the shorter carbohydrates accounted for the major fraction. Amongst the pentoses there was some preference for the formation of ribose. Even deoxy sugars could be detected in traces. The observation that catalysts can be avoided was successfully transferred to another reaction. In a green chemistry approach platform chemicals must be produced from sustainable resources. Carbohydrates can for instance be employed as a basis. They can be transformed to levulinic acid and formic acid, which can both react via a transfer hydrogenation to the green solvent and biofuel gamma-valerolactone. This second reaction usually requires catalysis by Ru or Pd, which are neither sustainable nor low-priced. Under hydrothermal conditions these heavy metals could be avoided and replaced by cheap salts, taking advantage of the temperature dependence of the acid dissociation constant. Simple sulfate was recognized as a temperature switchable base. With this additive high yield could be achieved by simultaneous prevention of waste. In contrast to conventional bases, which create salt upon neutralization, a temperature switchable base becomes neutral again when cooled down and thus can be reused. This adds another sustainable feature to the high atom economy of the presented hydrothermal synthesis. In a last study complex decomposition pathways of biomass were investigated. Gas chromatography in conjunction with mass spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful tool for the identification of unknowns. It was observed that several acids were formed when carbohydrates were treated with bases at high temperature. This procedure was also applied to digest wood. Afterwards it was possible to fermentate the solution and a good yield of methane was obtained. This has to be regarded in the light of the fact that wood practically cannot be used as a feedstock in a biogas factory. Thus the hydrothermal pretreatment is an efficient means to employ such materials as well. Also the reaction network of the hydrothermal decomposition of glycine was investigated using isotope-labeled compounds as comparison for the unambiguous identification of unknowns. This refined analysis allowed the identification of several new molecules and pathways, not yet described in literature. In summary several advantages could be taken from synthesis in high-temperature water. Many catalysts, absolutely necessary under ambient conditions, could either be completely avoided or replaced by cheap, sustainable alternatives. In this respect water is not only a green solvent, but helps to prevent waste and preserves resources. N2 - In dieser Arbeit wurden chemische Reaktionen unter Hydrothermalbedingungen untersucht. Darunter versteht man Wasser als Reaktionsmedium, welches eine Temperatur über 100 °C aufweist. Der flüssige Zustand wird dabei durch erhöhten Druck aufrecht erhalten. Typischerweise wurden die Reaktionen bei 200 °C und einem Druck von 100 bar durchgeführt, also dem 100-fachen des Normaldrucks. Dieses System kann man auch mit einem Dampfdrucktopf vergleichen, wobei durch die erhöhten Temperaturen chemische Reaktionen sehr schnell ablaufen und überraschende Reaktivität auftritt. Die Motivation, Wasser als Lösemittel zu benutzen, ist auch in seiner Umweltfreundlichkeit gegenüber klassischen organischen Lösemitteln begründet. Da solche Hydrothermalbedingungen auf der frühen Erde häufiger anzutreffen waren, wurde untersucht, ob wichtige Biomoleküle bei solch hoher Temperatur gebildet werden können. In der Tat konnten Zucker aus der sehr einfachen Verbindung Formaldehyd synthetisiert werden. Hierzu war lediglich eine leicht basische Lösung nötig und keine der bei moderaten Temperaturen essentiellen Katalysatoren. Zucker stellen zudem den größten Teil der pflanzlichen Biomasse dar und können daher als Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Chemie dienen. Sie können relativ einfach zu Lävulin- und Ameisensäure umgesetzt werden. Aus diesen wiederum kann die wichtige Basischemikalie gamma-Valerolacton hergestellt werden. Der Schlüsselschritt, die Reduktion von Lävulinsäure, erforderte bisher die Zuhilfenahme seltener Edelmetalle wie Ruthenium. Es konnte nun gezeigt werden, dass unter Hydrothermalbedingungen diese Rolle von einfachen Salzen, z. B. Natriumsulfat, übernommen werden kann. Hierbei macht man sich zunutze, dass sie nur bei hoher Temperatur basisch wirken, nicht aber wenn die Lösung wieder abgekühlt ist. Neben Kohlenhydraten besteht Biomasse auch aus Aminosäuren, von denen Glycin die einfachste darstellt. Unter Abspaltung von CO2 können aus ihnen synthetisch wichtige Amine hergestellt werden. Diese Reaktion findet unter Hydrothermalbedingungen statt, daneben treten jedoch noch andere Produkte auf. Unbekannte Verbindungen wurden mittels Massenspektroskopie identifiziert, wobei die Masse des Moleküls und bestimmter Molekülfragmente bestimmt wurde. Dies erlaubte es, bisher noch unbekannte Reaktionswege aufzuklären. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Wasser unter Hydrothermalbedingungen eine interessante Alternative zu organischen Lösemitteln darstellt. Desweiteren können bestimmte Katalysatoren, die bei moderaten Temperaturen nötig sind, entweder vollständig eingespart oder ersetzt werden. In dieser Hinsicht ist Wasser nicht nur ein umweltfreundliches Lösemittel, sondern trägt dazu bei, Abfall zu vermeiden und Ressourcen zu schonen.

T1 - Femtosecond stimulated raman spectroscopy of flavin after optical excitation JF - The journal of physical chemistry : B, Condensed matter, materials, surfaces, interfaces & biophysical chemistry N2 - In blue-light photoreceptors using flavin (BLUF), the signaling state is formed already within several 100 ps after illumination, with only small changes of the absorption spectrum. The accompanying structural evolution can, in principle, be monitored by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). The method is used here to characterize the excited-state properties of riboflavin and flavin adenine dinucleotide in polar solvents. Raman modes are observed in the range 90-1800 cm(-1) for the electronic ground state S-0 and upon excitation to the S-1 state, and modes >1000 cm(-1) of both states are assigned with the help of quantum-chemical calculations. Line shapes are shown to depend sensitively on resonance conditions. They are affected by wavepacket motion in any of the participating electronic states, resulting in complex amplitude modulation of the stimulated Raman spectra. Wavepackets in S-1 can be marked, and thus isolated, by stimulated-emission pumping with the picosecond Raman pulses. Excited-state absorption spectra are obtained from a quantitative comparison of broadband transient fluorescence and absorption. In this way, the resonance conditions for FSRS are determined. Early differences of the emission spectrum depend on excess vibrational energy, and solvation is seen as dynamic Stokes shift of the emission band. The ne state is evidenced only through changes of emission oscillator strength during solvation. S-1 quenching by adenine is seen with all methods in terms of dynamics, not by spectral intermediates.

The results are compared to those for the previously studied SDS + DTAC system. Various gemini spacers of different natures and geometries were used, but all of them had similar lengths: an ethoxy bridge, a double bond, and an aromatic ring binding the two DTACs in three different substitutions (ortho, meta, and para). SANS and SAXS data analysis indicates that the spacer has no large effect on the spheroidal micelles of pure surfactants formed at low concentration in water; however, specific effects appear with the addition of electrolytes. Microstructures formed in the catanionic mixtures are rather strongly dependent on the nature of the spacer. The most important finding is that for the hydrophilic, flexible ethoxy bridge, monodisperse vesicles with a fixed anionic/cationic charge ratio (depending only on the surfactant in excess) are formed. Furthermore, the composition of these vesicles shows that strongly charged aggregates are formed. This study therefore provides new opportunities for developing tailor-made gemini surfactants that allow for the fine tuning of catanionic structures.

The propagation rate coefficent for MeMBL is 15% higher than that of its structural analogue, methyl methacrylate (MMA), with a similar activation energy of 21.8 kJ . mol(-1). When compared to MMA, MeMBL is preferentially incorporated into copolymers when reacted with styrene (ST), MMA, and n-butyl acrylate (BA); the monomer reactivity ratios fit from bulk MeMBL/ST, MeMBL/MMA, and MeMBL/BA copolymerizations are r(MeMBL) = 0.80 +/- 0.04 and r(ST) = 0.34 +/- 0.04, r(MeMBL), = 3.0 +/- 0.3 and r(MMA) = 0.33 +/- 0.01, and r(MeMBL) = 7.0 +/- 2.0 and r(BA) = 0.16 +/- 0.03, respectively. In all cases, no significant variation with temperature was found between 50 and 90 degrees C.

Finally, azide-terminated PVDF chains were attached to a fullerene core under microwave irradiation at 160 degrees C in 1.5 h. The materials were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, UV/vis, GPC, elemental analysis, and DSC. On average, 4-5 PVDF chains are attached to one C(60) moiety. FT-IR spectra and DSC measurements indicate that the polymer end groups strongly affect the crystallinity of the material. For PVDF with azide end groups and PVDF attached to fullerenes the fraction of the beta polymorph is dominant while alpha polymorphs are almost absent.

T1 - Hierarchical porous carbonaceous materials via ionothermal carbonization of carbohydrates JF - Journal of materials chemistry N2 - We report on the ionothermal synthesis of porous carbon materials from a variety of carbohydrate precursors (i.e. D-glucose, D-fructose, D-xylose, and starch) using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroferrate(III), [Bmim][FeCl(4)] as a reusable solvent and catalyst. The carbon materials derived from these different carbohydrates are similar in terms of particle size and chemical composition, possessing relatively high surface areas from 44 to 155 m(2) g(-1) after ionothermal processing, which can be significantly increased to > 350 m(2) g(-1) by further thermal treatment (e. g. post-carbonization at 750 degrees C). CO(2) and N(2) sorption analysis, combined with Hg intrusion porosimetry, reveals a promising hierarchical pore structuring to these carbon materials. The ionic liquid [Bmim][FeCl(4)] has a triple role: it acts as both a soft template to generate the characterized pore structuring, solvent and as a catalyst resulting in enhanced ionothermal carbon yields. Importantly from a process point of view, the ionic liquid can be successfully recovered and reused. The current work shows that ionothermal synthesis has the potential to be an effective, low cost, and green reusable synthetic route towards sustainable porous carbon materials.

Internal oxygen concentrations decrease inside growing potato tubers, due to their active metabolism and increased resistance to gas diffusion as tubers grow. In the present work, we identified three hypoxia-responsive ERF (StHRE) genes whose expression is regulated by the gradual decrease in oxygen tensions that occur when potato tubers grow larger. Increasing the external oxygen concentration counteracted the modification of StHRE expression during tuber growth, supporting the idea that the actual oxygen levels inside the organs, rather than development itself, are responsible for the regulation of StHRE genes. We identified several sugar metabolism-related genes co-regulated with StHRE genes during tuber development and possibly involved in starch accumulation. All together, our data suggest a possible role for low oxygen in the regulation of sugar metabolism in the potato tuber, similar to what happens in storage tissues during seed development.

T1 - Hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels crosslinked by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition with tailorable mechanical properties JF - The international journal of artificial organs N2 - Biopolymers of the extracellular matrix are attractive starting materials for providing degradable and biocompatible biomaterials. In this study, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties were prepared by the use of copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (known as "click chemistry"). Alkyne-functionalized hyaluronic acid was crosslinked with linkers having two terminal azide functionalities, varying crosslinker density as well as the lengths and rigidity of the linker molecules. By variation of the crosslinker density and crosslinker type, hydrogels with elastic moduli in the range of 0.5-4 kPa were prepared. The washed materials contained a maximum of 6.8 mg copper per kg dry weight and the eluate of the gel crosslinked with diazidostilbene did not show toxic effects on L929 cells. The hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels have potential as biomaterials for cell culture or soft tissue regeneration applications.

Zur Synthese der Silicaproben wurde ein Sol-Gel-Verfahren, ausgehend von einer Präkursorverbindung wie Tetramethylorthosilicat angewendet. Der Katalysator mit der geringsten Basizität führte zum Material mit der kleinsten Porengröße und der größten spezifischen Oberfläche. Eine Kombination von porösen Silica mit ILs führt zur Materialklasse der Silica-Ionogele. Diese Hybridmaterialien verbinden die Eigenschaften eines porösen Festkörpers mit denen einer IL (Leitfähigkeit, weites elektrochemisches Fenster, gute thermische Stabilität) und bieten vielfältige Einsatzmöglichkeiten z.B. in der Katalyse- Solar- und Sensortechnik. Um diese Materialien für ihren Verwendungszweck zu optimieren, bedarf es deren umfassenden Charakterisierung. Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit das thermische Verhalten von Silica-Ionogelen unter Verwendung verschiedener 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [Emim]-basierter ILs untersucht. Interessanterweise zeigen die untersuchten ILs deutliche Änderungen in ihrem thermischen Verhalten, wenn diese in porösen Materialien eingeschlossen werden (Confinement). Während sich die untersuchten reinen ILs durch klar unterscheidbare Phasenübergänge auszeichnen, konnten für die entsprechenden Hybridmaterialien deutlich schwächer ausgeprägte Übergänge beobachtet werden. Einzelne Phasenübergänge wurden unterdrückt (Glas- und Kristallisationsübergänge), während z.B. Schmelzübergänge in verbreiterten Temperaturbereichen, zum Teil als einzeln getrennte Schmelzpeaks beobachtet wurden. Diese Untersuchungen belegen deutliche Eigenschaftsänderungen der ILs in eingeschränkten Geometrien. Über Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie konnte außerdem gezeigt werden, daß die ILs in den mesoporösen Silicamaterialien eine unerwartet hohe Mobilität aufweisen. Die ILs können als quasi-flüssig bezeichnet werden und zeigen die nach bestem Wissen höchste Mobilität, die bisher für vergleichbare Hybridmaterialien beobachtet wurde. Durch Verwendung von funktionalisierten Präkursoren, sowie der Wahl der Reaktionsbedingungen, kann die Oberfläche der Silicamaterialien chemisch funktionalisiert werden und damit die Materialeigenschaften in der gewünschten Weise beeinflußt werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Einfluß der Oberflächenfunktionalität auf das thermische Verhalten hin untersucht. Dazu wurden zwei verschiedene Möglichkeiten der Funktionalisierung angewendet und miteinander verglichen. Bei der in-situ-Funktionalisierung wird die chemische Funktionalität während der Sol-Gel-Synthese über ein entsprechend funktionalisiertes Silan mit in das Silicamaterial einkondensiert. Eine postsynthetische Funktionalisierung erfolgt durch Reaktion der Endgruppen eines Silicamaterials mit geeigneten Reaktionspartnern. Um den Einfluß der physikalischen Eigenschaften der Probe auf die Reaktion zu untersuchen, wurden pulverisierte und monolithische Silicamaterialien miteinander verglichen. Im letzten Teil der Arbeit wurde die Vielfältigkeit, mit der Silicamaterialien postsynthetisch funktionalisiert werden können demonstriert. Durch die Kenntnis von Struktur-Eigenschaftsbeziehungen können die Eigenschaften von Silica-Ionogelen durch die geeignete Kombination von fester und mobiler Phase in der gewünschten Weise verändert werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen Beitrag zur Untersuchung dieser Beziehungen leisten, um das Potential dieser interessanten Materialien für Anwendungen nutzen zu können. N2 - This work describes the synthesis and characterization of mesoporous monolithic silica and its hybrid materials with ionic liquids (ILs). For synthesis of the silica samples a sol-gel method was used. The catalyst with the weakest basicity leads to the material with the smallest pore size and the largest specific surface area. Combination of porous silica with ILs yields silica-ionogels. These hybrid materials combine the properties of porous solids with the properties of ILs (which is e.g. high conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and good thermal stability) and therefore offer a variety of possible applications like catalysis, solar and sensing. To optimize these materials for specific applications there is a need to understand their structure-composition-property relations. For this reason the thermal behavior of silica-ionogels was studied using different 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium [Emim]-based ILs. Interestingly the ILs show a clear change in their thermal behavior upon confinement in porous silica. Whereas the pure ILs show distinct phase transitions, the hybrid materials exhibit considerably weaker phase transitions. Phase transitions are suppressed (glass- and crystallization phase transitions); melting transitions show multiple melting peaks. Furthermore solid-state NMR also shows that ILs in mesoporous silica exhibit unusual high mobility. The confined ILs can therefore be classified as quasi-liquid and represents to our best knowledge the highest mobility observed so far in ionogels. By using functionalized silane precursors and different reaction conditions the silica surface was chemically functionalized which further changes the material properties. In a final approach a post-synthetic functionalization was performed by reaction of the selected groups of a silica material with suitable reactants. To study the effect of the physical appearance on the characteristics of the final material, powdered and monolithic samples were studied. In the last part of the work the versatility of post-synthetic silica functionalization was demonstrated. The current work contributes to a better understanding of structure-property correlations, to improve the potential of these interesting materials for possible applications.

By different single investigated cases, which are all related to the element carbon, the work can be devided into two major topics. At first, the sustainable synthesis of “useful” carbon materials employing the process of hydrothermal carbonisation (HC) is described. In the second part, the synthesis of heteroatom - containing carbon materials for electrochemical and fuel cell applications employing ionic liquid precursors is presented. On base of a thorough review of the literature on hydrothermolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation of sugars in addition to the chemistry of hydroxymethylfurfural, mechanistic considerations of the formation of hydrothermal carbon are proposed. On the base of these reaction schemes, the mineral borax, is introduced as an additive for the hydrothermal carbonisation of glucose. It was found to be a highly active catalyst, resulting in decreased reaction times and increased carbon yields. The chemical impact of borax, in the following is exploited for the modification of the micro- and nanostructure of hydrothermal carbon. From the borax - mediated aggregation of those primary species, widely applicable, low density, pure hydrothermal carbon aerogels with high porosities and specific surface areas are produced. To conclude the first section of the thesis, a short series of experiments is carried out, for the purpose of demonstrating the applicability of the HC model to “real” biowaste i.e. watermelon waste as feedstock for the production of useful materials. In part two cyano - containing ionic liquids are employed as precursors for the synthesis of high - performance, heteroatom - containing carbon materials. By varying the ionic liquid precursor and the carbonisation conditions, it was possible to design highly active non - metal electrocatalyst for the reduction of oxygen. In the direct reduction of oxygen to water (like used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells), compared to commercial platinum catalysts, astonishing activities are observed. In another example the selective and very cost efficient electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide is presented. In a last example the synthesis of graphitic boron carbon nitrides from the ionic liquid 1 - Ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium - tetracyanoborate is investigated in detail. Due to the employment of unreactive salts as a new tool to generate high surface area these materials were first time shown to be another class of non - precious metal oxygen reduction electrocatalyst. N2 - Die Notwendigkeit einer nachhaltigen Energiewirtschaft, sowie der nachhaltigen Chemie stellen die Motivation der vorgelegten Arbeit. Auf Grundlage separater Untersuchungen, die jeweils in engem Bezug zum Element Kohlenstoff stehen, kann die Arbeit in zwei Themenfelder geordnet werden. Der erste Teil behandelt die nachhaltige Herstellung nützlicher Kohlenmaterialien mit Hilfe des Verfahrens der hydrothermalen Carbonisierung. Im zweiten Teil wird die Synthese von Bor und Stickstoff angereicherten Kohlen aus ionischen Flüssigkeiten für elektrochemische Anwendungen abgehandelt. Insbesondere geht es um die Anwendung in Wasserstoff-Brennstoffzellen. Als Ergebnis einer sorgfältigen Literatur¬zusammenfassung der Bereiche Hydrothermolyse, hydrothermale Carbonisierung und Chemie des Hydroxymethylfurfurals wird ein chemisch-mechanistisches Modell zur Entstehung der Hydrothemalkohle vorgestellt. Auf der Basis dieses Modells wird ein neues Additiv zur hydrothermalen Carbonisierung von Zuckern vorgestellt. Die Verwendung des einfachen Additivs, genauer Borax, erlaubt eine wesentlich verkürzte und zu niedrigeren Temperaturen hin verschobene Prozessführung mit höheren Ausbeuten. Anhand des mechanistischen Modells wird ein Einfluss auf die Reaktion von Zuckern mit der reaktiven Kohlenvorstufe (Hydroxymethylfurfural) identifiziert. Die chemische Wirkung des Minerals Borax in der hydrothermalen Carbonisierung wird im Folgenden zur Herstellung vielfältig anwendbarer, hochporöser Kohlen mit einstellbarer Partikelgröße genutzt. Zum Abschluss des ersten Teils ist in einer Serie einfacher Experimente die Anwendbarkeit des mechanischen Modells auf die Verwendung „echter“ Biomasse in Form von Wassermelonenabfall gezeigt. Im zweiten Teil werden verschiedene cyano-haltige ionische Flüssigkeiten zur ionothermalen Synthese von Hochleistungskohlen verwendet. Durch Variation der ionischen Flüssigkeiten und Verwendung unterschiedlicher Synthesebedingungen wird die Herstellung hochaktiver, metallfreier Katalysatoren für die elektrochemische Reduktion von Sauerstoff erreicht. In der direkten Reduktion von Sauerstoff zu Wasser (wie sie in Brennstoffzellen Anwendung findet) werden, verglichen zu konventionellen Platin-basierten elektrochemischen Katalysatoren, erstaunliche Aktivitäten erreicht. In einem anderen Beispiel wird die selektive Herstellung von Wasserstoffperoxid zu sehr geringen Kosten vorgestellt. Abschließend wird anhand der Verwendung der ionischen Flüssigkeit 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-tetracyanoborat eine detaillierte Betrachtung zur Herstellung von graphitischem Borcarbonitrid vorgestellt. Unter Verwendung unreaktiver Salze, als einfaches Werkzeug zur Einführung großer inneren Oberflächen wird erstmals die elektrokatalytische Aktivität eines solchen Materials in der elektrochemischen Sauerstoffreduktion gezeigt.

A1 - Harder, Heiko A1 - Reiche, Jürgen A1 - Santer, Svetlana T1 - Impact of temperature on the LB patterning of DPPC on Mica JF - Langmuir N2 - The influence of the subphase temperature on the stripe pattern formation during Langmuir-Blodgett transfer (LB patterning) is investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical study. According to our experiments on the LB transfer of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) on planar mica substrates, even small temperature changes between 21.5 and 24.5 degrees C lead to significant changes in the monolayer patterns. For a constant surface pressure and dipper speed, the width of the stripes and the overall spatial period of the patterns increase with increasing subphase temperature. Because the stripe patterns are ascribed to alternating monolayer domains in the liquid-expanded and the liquid-condensed phases, the working regime for the formation of stripes is found to depend strongly on the respective surface pressure-area isotherm. These experimental findings are in accordance with the results of a theoretical investigation based on a model that takes hydrodynamics and the monolayer thermodynamics into account.

The nature of these contacts is investigated in this work. MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculations predicted the presence of improper hydrogen bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax of different strength in substituted cyclohexane rings. To support the theoretical predictions with experimental evidence, several synthetic 2-substituted adamantane analogues (1-24) with suitable improper H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts of different strength were used as models of a substituted cyclohexane ring. The H-1 NMR signal separation, Delta delta(gamma-CH2), within the cyclohexane ring gamma-CH(2)s is raised when the MP2/6-31+G(d,p) calculated parameters, reflecting the strength of the H-bonded C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contact, are increased. In molecules with enhanced improper H-bonded contacts C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax, like those having sterically crowded contacts (Y-ax = t-Bu) or contacts including considerable electrostatic attractions (Y-ax = O-C or O=C) the calculated DFT steric energies of the gamma-axial hydrogens are considerably reduced reflecting their electron cloud compression. The results suggest that the proton H-ax electron cloud compression, caused by the C-H-ax center dot center dot center dot Y-ax contacts, and the resulting increase in Delta delta(gamma-CH2) value can be effected not just from van der Waals spheres compression, but more generally from electrostatic attraction forces and van der Waals repulsion, both of which are improper H-bonding components.

HL(1) yields a dimeric complex of type [Cu(L(1))(2)](2). In this structure, two deprotonated HL(1) ligands coordinate in a trans planar fashion around each Cu(II) center, one oxygen from each CuL(2) unit bridges to an axial site of the second complex unit such that both Cu(II) centers attain equivalent five-coordinate square pyramidal geometries. The two-substituted pyridyl groups in this complex do not coordinate, perhaps reflecting steric factors associated with the closeness of the pyridyl nitrogen to the attached (conjugated) beta-diketonato backbone of each ligand. The remaining two Cu(II) species, derived from HL(2) and HL(3), are both coordination polymers of type [Cu(L)(2)](n) in which the terminal pyridine group of each ligand is intermolecularly linked to an adjacent copper center to generate the respective infinite structures. HL(2) was also demonstrated to form a fibrous metallogel when reacted with CuCl(2) in an acetonitrile/water mixture under defined conditions.

JF - Dalton transactions : a journal of inorganic chemistry, including bioinorganic, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry N2 - Functional hybrid materials on the basis of inorganic hosts and ionic liquids (ILs) as guests hold promise for a virtually unlimited number of applications. In particular, the interaction and the combination of properties of a defined inorganic matrix and a specific IL could lead to synergistic effects in property selection and tuning. Such hybrid materials, generally termed ionogels, are thus an emerging topic in hybrid materials research. The current article addresses some of the recent developments and focuses on the question why silica is currently the dominating matrix used for (inorganic) ionogel fabrication. In comparison to silica, matrix materials such as layered simple hydroxides, layered double hydroxides, clay-type substances, magnetic or catalytically active solids, and many other compounds could be much more interesting because they themselves may carry useful functionalities, which could also be exploited for multifunctional hybrid materials synthesis. The current article combines experimental results with some arguments as to how new, advanced functional hybrid materials can be generated and which obstacles will need to be overcome to successfully achieve the synthesis of a desired target material.

Two different approaches were studied and compared to each other. First, monomers were synthesized by the Passerini-3CR and then polymerized via acyclic diene metathesis. Alternatively, bifunctional monomers were synthesized by self-metathesis and then polymerized by Passerini-3CR. Both approaches led to the formation of high-molecular-weight polymers. Moreover, Passerini-3CRs were shown to be a versatile grafting-onto method. The results clearly demonstrate that the Passerini-3CR offers an interesting new access to monomers and polymers and thus broadens the synthetic portfolio of polymer science.

New time-local control algorithms for the stochastic Schrodinger equation are introduced and compared to their reduced density matrix analog. The numerical schemes rely on time-dependent targets for guiding the reaction along a preferred path. The methods are tested on the vibrational control of adsorbates at metallic surfaces and on the ultrafast electron dynamics in a strong dissipative medium. The selective excitation of the specific states is achieved with improved yield when using the new algorithms. Both methods exhibit similar convergence behavior and results compare well with those obtained using local optimal control for the reduced density matrix. The favorable scaling of the methods allows to tackle larger systems and to control photochemical reactions in dissipative media of molecules with many more degrees of freedom.

T1 - Modification of nanoparticle surfaces for emulsion stabilization and encapsulation of active molecules for anti-corrosive coatings T1 - Nanopartikel Oberflächenmodifikationen zur Emulsionsstabilisierung und Verkapselung von Wirkstoffen für Antikorrosionsbeschichtungen N2 - Within this work, three physicochemical methods for the hydrophobization of initially hydrophilic solid particles are investigated. The modified particles are then used for the stabilization of oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions. For all introduced methods electrostatic interactions between strongly or weakly charged groups in the system are es-sential. (i) Short chain alkylammonium bromides (C4 – C12) adsorb on oppositely charged solid particles. Macroscopic contact angle measurements of water droplets under air and hexane on flat silica surfaces in dependency of the surface charge density and alkylchain-length allow the calculation of the surface energy and give insights into the emulsification properties of solid particles modified with alkyltrimethylammonium bromides. The measure-ments show an increase of the contact angle with increasing surface charge density, due to the enhanced adsorp-tion of the oppositely charged alkylammonium bromides. Contact angles are higher for longer alkylchain lengths. The surface energy calculations show that in particular the surface-hexane or surface-air interfacial en-ergy is being lowered upon alkylammonium adsorption, while a significant increase of the surface-water interfa-cial energy occurs only at long alkyl chain lengths and high surface charge densities. (ii) The thickness and the charge density of an adsorbed weak polyelectrolyte layer (e.g. PMAA, PAH) influence the wettability of nanoparticles (e.g. alumina, silica, see Scheme 1(b)). Furthermore, the isoelectric point and the pH range of colloidal stability of particle-polyelectrolyte composites depend on the thickness of the weak polye-lectrolyte layer. Silica nanoparticles with adsorbed PAH and alumina nanoparticles with adsorbed PMAA be-come interfacially active and thus able to stabilize o/w emulsions when the degree of dissociation of the polye-lectrolyte layer is below 80 %. The average droplet size after emulsification of dodecane in water depends on the thickness and the degree of dissociation of the adsorbed PE-layer. The visualization of the particle-stabilized o/w emulsions by cryogenic SEM shows that for colloidally stable alumina-PMAA composites the oil-water interface is covered with a closely packed monolayer of particles, while for the colloidally unstable case closely packed aggregated particles deposit on the interface. (iii) By emulsifying a mixture of the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and styrene with silica nanoparticles a highly stable o/w emulsion can be obtained in a narrow pH window. The amphoteric character of 8-HQ enables a pH dependent electrostatic interaction with silica nanoparticles, which can render them interfa-cially active. Depending on the concentration and the degree of dissociation of 8-HQ the adsorption onto silica results from electrostatic or aromatic interactions between 8-HQ and the particle-surface. At intermediate amounts of adsorbed 8-HQ the oil wettability of the particles becomes sufficient for stabilizing o/w emulsions. Cryogenic SEM visualization shows that the particles arrange then in a closely packed shell consisting of partly of aggregated domains on the droplet interface. For further increasing amounts of adsorbed 8-HQ the oil wet-tability is reduced again and the particles ability to stabilize emulsions decreases. By the addition of hexadecane to the oil phase the size of the droplets can be reduced down to 200 nm by in-creasing the silica mass fraction. Subsequent polymerization produces corrosion inhibitor filled (20 wt-%) poly-styrene-silica composite particles. The measurement of the release of 8-hydroxyquinoline shows a rapid increase of 8-hydroxyquinoline in a stirred aqueous solution indicating the release of the total content in less than 5 min-utes. The method is extended for the encapsulation of other organic corrosion inhibitors. The silica-polymer-inhibitor composite particles are then dispersed in a water based alkyd emulsion, and the dispersion is used to coat flat aluminium substrates. After drying and cross-linking the polmer-film Confocal Laser Scanning Micros-copy is employed revealing a homogeneous distribution of the particles in the film. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in aqueous electrolyte solutions shows that films with aggregated particle domains degrade with time and don’t provide long-term corrosion protection of the substrate. However, films with highly dispersed particles have high barrier properties for corrosive species. The comparison of films containing silica-polystyrene composite particles with and without 8-hydroxyquinoline shows higher electrochemical impedances when the inhibitor is present in the film. By applying the Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique the localized corrosion rate in the fractured area of scratched polymer films containing the silica-polymer-inhibitor composite particles is studied. Electrochemical corrosion cannot be suppressed but the rate is lowered when inhibitor filled composite particles are present in the film. By depositing six polyelectrolyte layers on particle stabilized emulsion droplets their surface morphology changes significantly as shown by SEM visualization. When the oil wettability of the outer polyelectrolyte layer increases, the polyelectrolyte coated droplets can act as emulsion stabilizers themselves by attaching onto bigger oil droplets in a closely packed arrangement. In the presence of 3 mM LaCl3 8-HQ hydrophobized silica particles aggregate strongly on the oil-water inter-face. The application of an ultrasonic field can remove two dimensional shell-compartments from the droplet surface, which are then found in the aqueous bulk phase. Their size ranges up to 1/4th of the spherical particle shell. N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden drei Oberflächenmodifikationen zur Hydrophobierung von ursprünglich hydrophilen Feststoffpartikeln entwickelt. Die so modifizierten Partikel werden dann zur Stabilisierung von Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen verwendet. Für sämtliche entwickelte Methoden sind elektrostatische Wechselwirkungen zwischen stark oder schwach dissoziierten chemischen Gruppen essentiell. (i) Kurzkettige Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide (C4-C12) adsorbieren auf entgegengesetzt geladenen Partikeln. Makroskopische Kontaktwinkelmessungen von Wasser Tropfen in Luft und Hexan auf flachen Siliziumoxid Oberflächen mit variabler Oberflächenladungsdichte und Alkylkettenlänge ermöglichen die Berechnung der Oberflächenenergie und geben Einblicke in die Emulgationseigenschaften von so modifizierten Feststoffpartikeln. Die Messungen zeigen einen Anstieg des Kontakwinkels mit steigender Oberflächenladungsdichte, bedingt durch die verstärkte Adsorption von entgegengesetzt geladenen Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromiden. Die Kontaktwinkel sind zudem größer für längerkettige Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide. Die Berechnungen der Oberflächenenergie zeigen, dass besonders die Feststoff-Hexan oder Feststoff-Luft Grenzflächenenergie durch die Adsorption verringert wird, wohingegen die Feststoff-Wasser Oberflächenenergie nur bei längeren Alkylkettenlängen und hohen Oberflächenladungsdichten signifikant ansteigt. (ii) Die Schichtdicke und Ladungsdichte von adsorbierten schwachen Polyelektrolyten (z.B. PMAA, PAH) beeinflusst die Benetzbarkeit von Nanopartikeln (z.B. Aluminiumoxid, Siliziumoxid). Der isoelektrische Punkt und der pH Bereich für kolloidale Stabilität solcher Polyelektrolyt modifizierter Partikel hängt von der Dicke der Polyelektrolytschicht ab. Siliziumoxid und Aluminiumoxid Nanopartikel mit adsorbierten PAH bzw. PMAA werden Grenzflächenaktiv und dadurch befähigt Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen zu stabilisieren, wenn der Dissoziationsgrad der Polyelektrolytschicht geringer als 80 % ist. Die durchschnittliche Tropfengröße von Dodecan-in-Wasser Emulsionen ist abhängig von der Polyelektrolytschichtdicke und dem Dissoziationsgrad. Die Visualisierung von Partikel stabilisierten Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen durch kryogene REM zeigt, dass im Falle von kolloidal stabilen Aluminiumoxid-PMAA Partikeln die Öl-Tröpfchen mit einer dichtgepackten Partikelhülle belegt sind, während für kolloidal destabilisierte Partikel eine Hülle aus aggregierten Partikeln gefunden wird. (iii) Durch das Emulgieren einer Lösung des Korrosionsinhibitors 8-Hydroxychinolins (8HQ) in Styrol mit Siliziumoxid Nanopartikeln können stabile Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen in einem pH Fenster von 4 - 6 hergestellt werden. Der amphoterische Charakter von 8HQ ermöglicht eine pH abhängige elektrostatische Wechselwirkung mit den Siliziumdioxid Nanopartikeln, welche diese Grenzflächenaktiv werden lässt. In Abhängigkeit der Konzentration und des Dissoziationsgrads von 8HQ folgt die Adsorption auf Siliziumdioxid aus elektrostatischen oder aromatischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen 8HQ und der Partikeloberfläche. Bei mittleren adsorbierten Mengen wird die Öl Benetzbarkeit der Partikel ausreichend erhöht um Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen zu stabilisieren. Kryogene REM zeigt, dass die Partikel dann in dicht gepackte Hüllen, mit teilweise aggregierten Domänen auf der Öltröpfchenoberfläche vorliegen. Durch weiter ansteigende adsorbierte 8HQ Mengen wird die Öl-Benetzbarkeit wieder zurückgesetzt und die Emulgationsfähigkeit der Partikel aufgehoben. Durch die Zugabe von Hexadecan zur Öl Phase kann die Tropfengröße durch Erhöhung des Siliziumdioxid Anteils auf 200 nm herabgesetzt werden. Anschließende Polymerisation des Styrols generiert Korrosionsinhibitor gefüllte (20 Gew-%) Polystyrol-Silizumoxid Komposite. Die Messung der Freisetzungsrate von 8HQ zeigt einen schnellen Anstieg der 8HQ Konzentration in einer gerührten wässrigen Lösung innerhalb von 5 Minuten. Die Verkapselungsmethode wird auch für andere organische Korrosionsinhibitoren erweitert. Die Komposite werden dann in einer wasserbasierten Alkydpräpolymeremulsion dispergiert und diese Mischung wird zur Beschichtung von flachen Aluminiumplatten genutzt. Nach Trocknung und Quervernetzung des Films wird Konfokale Laser Mikroskopie dazu verwendet um die räumliche Verteilung der Composite im Film zu visualisieren. Elektrochemische Impedanzspektroskopie zeigt, dass die Barriereeigenschaften des Films durch die Anwesenheit der Komposite verbessert sind. Raster Vibrationselektroden Messungen zeigen, dass die Korrosionsrate in einem Kratzer des Films durch die Anwesenheit der Inhibitor efüllten Komposite reduziert ist. Durch die Ablagerung von 6 Polyelektroytschichten auf Feststoffstabilisierten Emulsionströpfchen verändert sich deren Oberflächenmorphologie deutlich (gezeigt durch REM). Wenn die Ölbenetzbarkeit der äußeren Polyelektrolytschicht ansteigt, dann können solche Polyelektolytbeschichteten Feststoffstabilisierte Emulsionströpfchen selber als Emulsionsstabilisatoren verwendet werden. Diese lagern sich dann in einer dicht gepackten Schicht auf der Oberfläche von größeren Emulsionstropfen ab. In der Gegenwart von 3 mM LaCl3 aggregieren 8HQ modifizierte Siliziumoxid Partikel stark auf der Öl-Wasser Grenzfläche. Der Einsatz von Ultraschall kann aggregierte Schalenbestandteile von der Tropfenoberfläche wegreißen. Diese Wracks können bis zu einem Viertel der Kugelhülle ausmachen und liegen dann als kolloidale Schalen im Wasser vor.

T1 - Molecular dynamics simulations of inverse sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles in a mixed toluene/pentanol solvent in the absence and presence of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) JF - Journal of colloid and interface science N2 - We have performed a 15 ns molecular dynamics simulation of inverse sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles in a mixed toluene/pentanol solvent in the absence and presence of a cationic polyelectrolyte, i.e. poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC). The NAMD code and CHARMM force field were used. During the simulation time, the radii of SOS inverse micelles changed and the radii of the water droplets have been calculated. The behavior of SDS hydrocarbon chains has been characterized by calculating the orientation order parameter and the chain average length. The water droplet properties (water flow, water molecules displacement) have been examined. In summary the MD simulations indicate a more rigid and ordered surfactant film due to the formation of a polyelectrolyte palisade layer in full agreement with the experimental findings, e.g. the viscosity increase and shift of the percolation boundary.

In this study, we present the synthesis routes and fluorescence evaluation of newly designed carbazole fluorosensors that, by modification with uracil, have a special affinity for antiretroviral drugs via either Watson-Crick or Hoogsteen base pairing. To an N-octylcarbazole-uracil compound, four different groups were attached, namely thiophene, furane, ethylenedioxythiophene, and another uracil; yielding four different derivatives. Photophysical properties of these newly obtained derivatives are described, as are their interactions with the reverse transcriptase inhibitors such as abacavir, zidovudine, lamivudine and didanosine. The influence of each analyte on biosensor fluorescence was assessed on the basis of the Stern-Volmer equation and represented by Stern-Volmer constants. Consequently we have demonstrated that these structures based on carbazole, with a uracil group, may be successfully incorporated into alternative carbazole derivatives to form biosensors for the molecular recognition of antiretroviral drugs.

T1 - MSn of the six isomers of (GlcN)(2)(GlcNAc)(2) aminoglucan tetrasaccharides (diacetylchitotetraoses) rules of fragmentation for the sodiated molecules and application to sequence analysis of hetero-chitooligosaccharides JF - Carbohydrate polymers : an international journal devoted to scientific and technological aspects of industrially important polysaccharides N2 - The six possible isomers of di-N-acetylchitotetraoses [AADD, ADDA, ADAD, DADA, DAAD, and DDAA, where D stands for 2-amino-2-deoxy-3-D-glucose (GlcN) and A for 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucose (GlcNAc)] were analyzed by ESI(+)-MSn. Collision induced dissociation via MSn experiments were performed for the sodiated molecules of m/z 769 [M+Na](+) for each isomer, and fragments were generated mainly by glycosidic bond and cross-ring cleavages. Rules of fragmentation were then established. A reducing end D residue yields the (O.2)A(4) cross-ring [M-59+Na](+) fragment of m/z 710 as the most abundant, whereas isomers containing a reducing end A prefer to lose water to form the [M-18+Na](+) ion of m/z 751, as well as abundant (O.2)A(4) cross-ring [M-101+Na](+) fragments of m/z 668 and B-3 [M-221+Na](+) ions of m/z 548. MS3 of C- and Y-type ions shows analogous fragmentation behaviour that allows identification of the reducing end next-neighbour residue. Due to gas-phase anchimeric assistance, B-type cleavage between the glycosidic oxygen and the anomeric carbon atom is favoured when the glycon is an A residue. Relative ion abundances are generally in the order B >> C > Y, but may vary depending on the next neighbour towards the non-reducing end. These fragmentation rules were used for partial sequence analysis of hetero-chitooligosaccharides of the composition D(2)A(3), D(3)A(3), D(2)A(4), D(4)A(3), and D(3)A(4).

T1 - Nanoparticle modification by weak polyelectrolytes for pH-sensitive pickering emulsions JF - Langmuir N2 - The affinity of weak polyelectrolyte coated oxide particles to the oil-water interface can be controlled by the degree of dissociation and the thickness of the weak polyelectrolyte layer. Thereby the oil in water (o/w) emulsification ability of the particles can be enabled. We selected the weak polyacid poly(methacrylic acid sodium salt) and the weak polybase poly(allylamine hydrochloride) for the surface modification of oppositely charged alumina and silica colloids, respectively. The isoelectric point and the pH range of colloidal stability of both particle-polyelectrolyte composites depend on the thickness of the weak polyelectrolyte layer. The pH-dependent wettability of a weak polyelectrolyte-coated oxide surface is characterized by contact angle measurements. The o/w emulsification properties of both particles for the nonpolar oil dodecane and the more polar oil diethylphthalate are investigated by measurements of the droplet size distributions. Highly stable emulsions can be obtained when the degree of dissociation of the weak polyelectrolyte is below 80%. Here the average droplet size depends on the degree of dissociation, and a minimum can be found when 15 to 45% of the monomer units are dissociated. The thickness of the adsorbed polyelectrolyte layer strongly influences the droplet size of dodecane/water emulsion droplets but has a less pronounced impact on the diethylphthalate/water droplets. We explain the dependency of the droplet size on the emulsion pH value and the polyelectrolyte coating thickness with arguments based on the particle-wetting properties, the particle aggregation state, and the oil phase polarity. Cryo-SEM visualization shows that the regularity of the densely packed particles on the oil-water interface correlates with the degree of dissociation of the corresponding polyelectrolyte.

In this thesis, the combined use of carbohydrate hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) and templating strategies is demonstrated as an efficient route to nanostructured carbonaceous materials. HTC is an aqueous-phase, low-temperature (e.g. 130 – 200 °C) carbonisation, which proceeds via dehydration / poly-condensation of carbon precursors (e.g. carbohydrates and their derivatives), allowing facile access to highly functional carbonaceous materials. Whilst possessing utile, modifiable surface functional groups (e.g. -OH and -C=O-containing moieties), materials synthesised via HTC typically present limited accessible surface area or pore volume. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the development of fabrication routes to HTC materials which present enhanced textural properties and well-defined porosity. In the first discussed synthesis, a combined hard templating / HTC route was investigated using a range of sacrificial inorganic templates (e.g. mesoporous silica beads and macroporous alumina membranes (AAO)). Via pore impregnation of mesoporous silica beads with a biomass-derived carbon source (e.g. 2-furaldehyde) and subsequent HTC at 180 oC, an inorganic / carbonaceous hybrid material was produced. Removal of the template component by acid etching revealed the replication of the silica into mesoporous carbonaceous spheres (particle size ~ 5 μm), representing the inverse morphological structure of the original inorganic body. Surface analysis (e.g. FTIR) indicated a material decorated with hydrophilic (oxygenated) functional groups. Further thermal treatment at increasingly elevated temperatures (e.g. at 350, 550, 750 oC) under inert atmosphere allowed manipulation of functionalities from polar hydrophilic to increasingly non-polar / hydrophobic structural motifs (e.g. extension of the aromatic / pseudo-graphitic nature), thus demonstrating a process capable of simultaneous control of nanostructure and surface / bulk chemistry. As an extension of this approach, carbonaceous tubular nanostructures with controlled surface functionality were synthesised by the nanocasting of uniform, linear macropores of an AAO template (~ 200 nm). In this example, material porosity could be controlled, showing increasingly microporous tube wall features as post carbonisation temperature increased. Additionally, by taking advantage of modifiable surface groups, the introduction of useful polymeric moieties (i.e. grafting of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) was also demonstrated, potentially enabling application of these interesting tubular structures in the fields of biotechnology (e.g. enzyme immobilization) and medicine (e.g. as drug micro-containers). Complimentary to these hard templating routes, a combined HTC / soft templating route for the direct synthesis of ordered porous carbonaceous materials was also developed. After selection of structural directing agents and optimisation of synthesis composition, the F127 triblock copolymer (i.e. ethylene oxide (EO)106 propylene oxide (PO)70 ethylene oxide (EO)106) / D-Fructose system was extensively studied. D-Fructose was found to be a useful carbon precursor as the HTC process could be performed at 130 oC, thus allowing access to stable micellular phase. Thermolytic template removal from the synthesised ordered copolymer / carbon composite yielded functional cuboctahedron single crystalline-like particles (~ 5 μm) with well ordered pore structure of a near perfect cubic Im3m symmetry. N2 sorption analysis revealed a predominantly microporous carbonaceous material (i.e. Type I isotherm, SBET = 257 m2g-1, 79 % microporosity) possessing a pore size of ca. 0.9 nm. The addition of a simple pore swelling additive (e.g. trimethylbenzene (TMB)) to this system was found to direct pore size into the mesopore size domain (i.e. Type IV isotherm, SBET = 116 m2g-1, 60 % mesoporosity) generating pore size of ca. 4 nm. It is proposed that in both cases as HTC proceeds to generate a polyfuran-like network, the organised block copolymer micellular phase is essentially “templated”, either via hydrogen bonding between hydrophilic poly(EO) moiety and the carbohydrate or via hydrophobic interaction between hydrophobic poly(PO) moiety and forming polyfuran-like network, whilst the additive TMB presumably interact with poly(PO) moieties, thus swelling the hydrophobic region expanding the micelle template size further into the mesopore range. N2 - Nanoporöse kohlenstoffbasierte Materialien sind in der Industrie als Adsorbentien und Katalysatorträger weit verbreitet und gewinnen im aufstrebenden Bereich der Energiespeicherung/erzeugung und für Trennverfahren an wachsender Bedeutung. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass die Kombination aus hydrothermaler Karbonisierung von Zuckern (HTC) mit Templatierungsstrategien einen effizienten Weg zu nanostrukturierten kohlenstoffbasierten Materialien darstellt. HTC ist ein in Wasser und bei niedrigen Temperaturen (130 - 200 °C) durchgeführter Karbonisierungsprozess, bei dem Zucker und deren Derivate einen einfachen Zugang zu hochfunktionalisierten Materialien erlauben. Obwohl diese sauerstoffhaltige Funktionalitäten auf der Oberfläche besitzen, an welche andere chemische Gruppen gebunden werden könnten, was die Verwendung für Trennverfahren und in der verzögerten Wirkstofffreisetzung ermöglichen sollte, ist die mittels HTC hergestellte Kohle für solche Anwendungen nicht porös genug. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es daher, Methoden zu entwickeln, um wohldefinierte Poren in solchen Materialien zu erzeugen. Hierbei führte unter anderem der Einsatz von anorganischen formgebenden mesoporösen Silikapartikeln und makroporösen Aluminiumoxid-Membranen zum Erfolg. Durch Zugabe einer Kohlenstoffquelle (z. B. 2-Furfural), HTC und anschließender Entfernung des Templats konnten poröse kohlenstoffbasierte Partikel und röhrenförmige Nanostrukturen hergestellt werden. Gleichzeitig konnte durch eine zusätzliche Nachbehandlung bei hoher Temperatur (350-750 °C) auch noch die Oberflächenfunktionalität hin zu aromatischen Systemen verschoben werden. Analog zur Formgebung durch anorganische Template konnte mit sog. Soft-Templaten, z. B. PEO-PPO-PEO Blockcopolymeren, eine funktionelle poröse Struktur induziert werden. Hierbei machte man sich die Ausbildung geordneter Mizellen mit der Kohlenstoffquelle D-Fructose zu Nutze. Das erhaltene Material wies hochgeordnete Mikroporen mit einem Durchmesser von ca. 0,9 nm auf. Dieser konnte desweiteren durch Zugabe von Quell-Additiven (z. B. Trimethylbenzol) auf 4 nm in den mesoporösen Bereich vergrößert werden. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass beide untersuchten Synthesewege nanostrukturierte kohlenstoffbasierte Materialien mit vielfältiger Oberflächenchemie liefern, und das mittels einer bei relativ niedriger Temperatur in Wasser ablaufenden Reaktion und einer billigen, nachhaltigen Kohlenstoffquelle. Die so hergestellten Produkte eröffnen vielseitige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, z. B. zur Molekültrennung in der Flüssigchromatographie, in der Energiespeicherung als Anodenmaterial in Li-Ionen Akkus oder Superkondensatoren, oder als Trägermaterial für die gezielte Pharmakotherapie.

CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) with the increasing size of the acyloxy substitution. The nature of this unexpected steric substituent effect, which is opposite to general stereochemical concepts, was studied by means of ab kiln MO method, accompanied by NBO and isodesmic calculations. NBO parameters seem to be good descriptors for quantitative prediction of the experimental Delta G degrees value of the title conformational equilibrium. The origin and propagation of the substituent effect of the polar substitutions (CH(2)Cl, CHCl(2), CCl(3), CH(2)Br, CHBr(2), CBr(3)) differ, however, from those of the pure alkyl (Me, Et, iPr, tBu) substitutions. The Delta G degrees value of the polar derivatives depends on the qC8 charges, on the occupation of the sigma(center dot)(C1-07) orbital and on the hyperconjugative pi(center dot)(c=O) -> sigma(center dot)(C10-X) and sigma(center dot)(C10-X) -> pi(center dot)(c=O) interactions. The substituent sensitivity of these NBC parameters for the two conformers differ to the effect that the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left side with increasing electron withdrawing character of the acyloxy group. The Delta G degrees values of the alkyl derivatives are interpreted in terms of the calculated dipole moments. The destabilization in the non-polar medium (the experimental Delta G degrees values used were measured in CD(2)Cl(2)) due to the enhanced dipolar character is more prominent in the case of the equatorial alkyl conformers. As the consequence, the ax reversible arrow eq equilibrium is shifted to the left despite the increasing size of the R group when going from Me to tBu substitution.

Zu diesen Bereichen zählen sowohl klassische Anwendungen, wie z. B. die Verwendung als Katalysator, Molekularsieb oder Trockenmittel, als auch nichtklassische Anwendungen, wie z. B. der Einsatz als Kontrastmittel in der Magnet-Resonanz-Tomographie oder in Form von dünnen Zeolithfilmen als Isolatoren in Mikrochips. Auch für den Einsatz in der Photonik werden poröse Materialien in Betracht gezogen, wie die Entwicklung des Zeolith-Farbstoff-Lasers zeigt. Mikroporöse Zeolithe können generell über einfache Ionenaustauschreaktionen mit Lanthanoidionen in lumineszente Materialien umgewandelt werden. Neben der Erzeugung eines lumineszenten Materials, dessen Lumineszenzeigenschaften charakterisiert werden müssen, bietet die Nutzung von Lanthanoidionen die Möglichkeit diese Ionen als Sonde zur Charakterisierung der Ion-Wirt-Wechselwirkungen zu funktionalisieren, was z. B. in Bezug auf die Anwendung als Katalysator von großer Bedeutung ist. Dabei werden die einzigartigen Lumineszenzeigenschaften der Lanthanoidionen, in diesem Fall von Europium(III) und Terbium(III), genutzt. In dieser Arbeit wurden Lanthanoid-dotierte mikroporöse Zeolithe, mikroporös-mesoporöse Hybridmaterialien und mesoporöse Silikate hinsichtlich ihrer Lumineszenzeigenschaften und ihrer Wechselwirkung des Wirtsmaterials mit den Lanthanoidionen mittels zeitaufgelöster Lumineszenzspektroskopie untersucht. Zeitaufgelöste Emissionsspektren (TRES) liefern dabei sowohl Informationen in der Wellenlängen- als auch in der Zeitdomäne. Erstmalig wurden die TRES mittels einer umfangreichen Auswertemethodik behandelt. Neben der Anpassung des Abklingverhaltens mit einer diskreten Zahl von Exponentialfunktionen, wurden unterstützend auch Abklingzeitverteilungsanalysen durchgeführt. Zeitaufgelöste flächennormierte Emissionsspektren (TRANES), eine Erweiterung der normalen TRES, konnten erstmals zur Bestimmung der Zahl der emittierenden Lanthanoidspezies in porösen Materialien genutzt werden. Durch die Berechnung der Decayassoziierten Spektren (DAS) konnten den Lanthanoidspezies die entsprechenden Lumineszenzspektren zugeordnet werden. Zusätzlich konnte, speziell im Fall der Europium-Lumineszenz, durch Kombination von zeitlicher und spektraler Information das zeitabhängige Asymmetrieverhältnis R und die spektrale Evolution des 5D0-7F0-Übergangs mit der Zeit t untersucht und somit wesentliche Informationen über die Verteilung der Europiumionen im Wirtsmaterial erhalten werden. Über die Abklingzeit und das Asymmetrieverhältnis R konnten Rückschlüsse auf die Zahl der OH-Oszillatoren in der ersten Koordinationssphäre und die Symmetrie der Koordinationsumgebung gezogen werden. Für die mikroporösen und mikroporös-mesoporösen Materialien wurden verschiedene Lanthanoidspezies, im Regelfall zwei, gefunden, welche entsprechend der beschriebenen Methoden charakterisiert wurden. Diese Lanthanoidspezies konnten Positionen in den Materialien zugeordnet werden, die sich im tief Inneren des Porensystems oder auf bzw. nahe der äußeren Oberfläche oder in den Mesoporen befinden. Erstere Spezies ist aufgrund ihrer Position im Material gut vor Feuchtigkeitseinflüssen geschützt, was sich deutlich in entsprechend langen Lumineszenzabklingzeiten äußert. Zusätzlich ist diese Europiumspezies durch unsymmetrische Koordinationsumgebung charakterisiert, was auf einen signifikanten Anteil an Koordination der Lanthanoidionen durch die Sauerstoffatome im Wirtsgitter zurückzuführen ist. Ionen, die sich nahe oder auf der äußeren Oberfläche befinden, sind dagegen für Feuchtigkeit zugänglicher, was in kürzeren Lumineszenzabklingzeiten und einer symmetrischeren Koordinationsumgebung resultiert. Der Anteil von Wassermolekülen in der ersten Koordinationssphäre ist hier deutlich größer, als bei den Ionen, die sich tiefer im Porensystem befinden und entspricht in vielen Fällen der Koordinationszahl eines vollständig hydratisierten Lanthanoidions. Auch der Einfluss von Oberflächenmodifikationen auf die Speziesverteilung und das Verhalten der Materialien gegenüber Feuchtigkeit wurde untersucht. Dabei gelang es den Einfluss der Feuchtigkeit auf die Lumineszenzeigenschaften und die Speziesverteilung durch die Oberflächenmodifikation zu verringern und die Lumineszenzeigenschaften teilweise zu konservieren. Im Fall der mesoporösen Silikamonolithe wurde auch eine heterogene Verteilung der Lanthanoidionen im Porensystem gefunden. Hier wechselwirkt ein Teil der Ionen mit der Porenwand, während sich die restlichen Ionen in der wäßrigen Phase innerhalb des Porensystems aufhalten. Das Aufbringen von Oberflächenmodifikationen führte zu einer Wechselwirkung der Ionen mit diesen Oberflächenmodifikationen, was sich in Abhängigkeit von der Oberflächenbeladung in den enstprechenden Lumineszenzeigenschaften niederschlug. N2 - Porous sol-gel materials are suitable for many applications and subject to ongoing research activities. This includes classical applications, e.g. as catalyst, molecular sieve or drying agent, as well as non-classical applications, e.g. as contrast agent in magnetic resonance tomography or in the form of thin zeolite films as isolators in microchips. The interest in porous materials also covers photonic applications as shown by the development of the zeolite-dye-microlaser. Zeolites, which belong to the subfamily of microporous materials, can be converted into luminescent materials using simple ion-exchange procedures. In addition to the creation of a luminescent material, which luminescence properties have to be characterized, the incorporation of lanthanide ions offers the possibility to use these ions as a luminescent probe for the characterization of the ion-host interactions. This is particularly interesting concerning the application of porous materials as catalysts. Therefor, the unique luminescence properties of the lanthanide ions europium(III) and terbium(III) are used. In this work lanthanide-doped microporous zeolites, microporous-mesoporous hybrid materials and mesoporous silicates were investigeted regarding their luminescence properties and the ion-host-interactions using time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. Thereby, time-resolved emission spectra (TRES) provide information in the wavelength and time domain. For the analysis of the TRES a broad set of analytic methods was applied and thus a corresponding “toolbox“ developed. Fitting of the luminescence decays was performed with a discrete number of exponentials and supported by luminescence decay times distributions. Time-resolved area normalized emission spectra (TRANES), an advancement of TRES, could be used for the determination of the number of emissive lanthanide species in porous materials for the first time. Calculation of the decay-associated spectra (DAS) allowed the correlation of spectral information with luminescence decay times and thus delivered the luminescence spectra of the different europium species. For europium(III) we could use in addition the time-dependent asymmetry ratio and spectral evolution of the 5D0-7F0-transition with time to obtain further information about the distribution of the lanthanide ions in the host material. Luminescence decay times and spectra allowed conclusions on the number of OH-oscillators in and the symmetry of the first coordination sphere. For the microporous and microporous-mesoporous materials were found different lanthanide species, which were characterized by the above mentioned methods. These lanthanide species can be found on different positions in the host material. One position is located deep in the pore system. Here, lanthanide ions are hardly accessible for water and mainly coordinated by framework oxygens. This results in long luminescence decay times and distorted coordination spheres. The second position can be found near or on the outer surface or in the mesopores. Lanthanide ions located here, are easily accessible for water and thus show shorter luminescence decay times and a more symmetrical coordination sphere, which is mostly made up by water molecules. Another investigated aspect was the influence of surface modifications on the luminescence behavior of the lanthanide ions inside the material. Here we could show, that surface modifications hydrophobize the material and thus are able to protect the lanthanide ions from water, which is important for the conservation of the luminescence properties. Concerning the mesoporous silicates, again a heterogeneous distribution of the lanthanide ions in the pore system was found. A part of the lanthanide ions interacts with the pore wall, while the other part is located in the aqueous phase inside the pores. Surface modification led to a interaction of the lanthanide ions with the modification. This was reflected in the luminescence properties depending on the structure of the modification and the surface loading.

Die meisten etablierten Anwendungen magnetischer Nanopartikel basieren heutzutage auf Eisenoxiden. Diese bieten gute magnetische Eigenschaften, sind chemisch relativ stabil, ungiftig und lassen sich auf vielen Synthesewegen relativ einfach herstellen. Die magnetischen Eigenschaften der Eisenoxide sind materialabhängig aber begrenzt, weshalb nach anderen Verbindungen mit besseren Eigenschaften gesucht werden muss. Eisencarbid (Fe3C) kann eine dieser Verbindungen sein. Dieses besitzt vergleichbare positive Eigenschaften wie Eisenoxid, jedoch viel bessere magnetische Eigenschaften, speziell eine höhere Sättigungsmagnetisierung. Bis jetzt wurde Fe3C hauptsächlich in Gasphasenabscheidungsprozessen synthetisiert oder als Nebenprodukt bei der Synthese von Kohlenstoffstrukturen gefunden. Eine Methode, mit der gezielt Fe3C-Nanopartikel und andere Metallcarbide synthetisiert werden können, ist die „Harnstoff-Glas-Route“. Neben den Metallcarbiden können mit dieser Methode auch die entsprechenden Metallnitride synthetisiert werden, was die breite Anwendbarkeit der Methode unterstreicht. Die „Harnstoff-Glas-Route“ ist eine Kombination eines Sol-Gel-Prozesses mit einer anschließenden carbothermalen Reduktion/Nitridierung bei höheren Temperaturen. Sie bietet den Vorteil einer einfachen und schnellen Synthese verschiedener Metallcarbide/nitride. Der Schwerpunkt in dieser Arbeit lag auf der Synthese von Eisencarbiden/nitriden, aber auch Nickel und Kobalt wurden betrachtet. Durch die Variation der Syntheseparameter konnten verschiedene Eisencarbid/nitrid Nanostrukturen synthetisiert werden. Fe3C-Nanopartikel im Größenbereich von d = 5 – 10 nm konnten, durch die Verwendung von Eisenchlorid, hergestellt werden. Die Nanopartikel weisen durch ihre geringe Größe superparamagnetische Eigenschaften auf und besitzen, im Vergleich zu Eisenoxid Nanopartikeln im gleichen Größenbereich, eine höhere Sättigungsmagnetisierung. Diese konnten in fortführenden Experimenten erfolgreich in ionischen Flüssigkeiten und durch ein Polymer-Coating, im wässrigen Medium, dispergiert werden. Desweiteren wurde durch ein Templatieren mit kolloidalem Silika eine mesoporöse Fe3C-Nanostruktur hergestellt. Diese konnte erfolgreich in der katalytischen Spaltung von Ammoniak getestet werden. Mit der Verwendung von Eisenacetylacetonat konnten neben Fe3C-Nanopartikeln, nur durch Variation der Reaktionsparameter, auch Fe7C3- und Fe3N-Nanopartikel synthetisiert werden. Speziell für die Fe3C-Nanopartikel konnte die Sättigungsmagnetisierung, im Vergleich zu den mit Eisenchlorid synthetisierten Nanopartikeln, nochmals erhöht werden. Versuche mit Nickelacetat führten zu Nickelnitrid (Ni3N) Nanokristallen. Eine zusätzliche metallische Nickelphase führte zu einer Selbstorganisation der Partikel in Scheiben-ähnliche Überstrukturen. Mittels Kobaltacetat konnten, in Sphären aggregierte, metallische Kobalt Nanopartikel synthetisiert werden. Kobaltcarbid/nitrid war mit den gegebenen Syntheseparametern nicht zugänglich. N2 - Magnetic nanoparticles offer a great potential, because they exhibit on the one hand the properties of their bulk materials and on the other hand, because of their size, completely different magnetic properties. The most established applications of magnetic nanoparticles are based on iron oxide. These oxides have good magnetic properties, they are chemical relatively stable, non toxic and easy to prepare. But the magnetic properties are limited. Therefore, we need new materials with improved magnetic properties. Iron carbide (Fe3C) could be one of these materials. Up to now, Fe3C was mainly synthesized in chemical vapor deposition processes (CVD) or was found as side product in the synthesis of carbon structures. A method for the systematical synthesis of metal carbides is the “Urea-Glass-Route”. In addition to the synthesis of metal carbides, this method allows to synthesize metal nitrides, which shows the broad practicability. The “Urea-Glass-Route” is a combination of a sol-gel process with following carbothermal reduction/nitridation at higher temperatures. The method is fast and simple and it is possible to synthesis different metal carbides/nitrides. The main topic of this work is the synthesis of iron carbide/nitride, but also cobalt and nickel is examined. By varying the synthesis parameters, different iron carbide/nitride nanostructures could be synthesized. With the use of iron chloride, Fe3C nanoparticles, in the size range of d = 5 – 10 nm, could be produced. Because of their small size, the particles show superparamagnetism and compared to iron oxide particles (in the same size range) a higher saturation magnetization. In following experiments, the particles could be successfully dispersed in an ionic liquid and with a polymer coating in aqueous medium. Furthermore, via templating with colloidal silica a mesoporous Fe3C structure could be synthesized. The material could be successfully tested in the catalytic ammonia decomposition. By changing the iron source to iron acetylacetonate, Fe7C3 and Fe3N nanoparticles, in addition to Fe3C, could be also synthesized. With nickel acetate it was possible to synthesize nickel nitride (Ni3N) nano crystals. An additional metallic nickel phase in the sample leads to a self organization to disk-like superlattice. Via cobalt acetate, in spheres aggregated, metallic cobalt nanoparticles could be synthesized. Cobalt carbide or nitride was not accessible under these synthesis parameters.

Diese ergibt sich aus ihrer Bausteinabfolge uber die Ausbildung von Uberstrukturen. Dazu zählen zum Beispiel Proteine (Eiweiße), aus deren Gestalt sich wichtige Eigenschaften ergeben. Diese Struktureigenschaftsbeziehung gilt ebenso für funktionelle synthetische Makromoleküle. Demzufolge kann die Kontrolle der Monomersequenz in Polymeren bedeutend für die resultierende Form des Polymermoleküls sein. Obwohl die Synthese von synthetischen Polymeren mit der Komplexität und der Größe von Proteinen in absehbarer Zeit wahrscheinlich nicht gelingen wird, können wir von der Natur lernen, um neuartige Polymermaterialien mit definierten Strukturen (Sequenzen) zu synthetisieren. Deshalb ist die Entwicklung neuer und besserer Techniken zur Strukturkontrolle von großem Interesse für die Synthese von Makromolekülen, die perfekt auf ihre Funktion zugeschnitten sind. Im Gegensatz zu der Anzahl fortgeschrittener Synthesestrategien zum Design aus- gefallener Polymerarchitekturen – wie zum Beispiel Sterne oder baumartige Polymere (Dendrimere) – gibt es vergleichsweise wenig Ansätze zur echten Sequenzkontrolle in synthetischen Polymeren. Diese Arbeit stellt zwei unterschiedliche Techniken vor, mit denen die Monomersequenz innerhalb eines Polymers kontrolliert werden kann. Gerade bei den großtechnisch bedeutsamen radikalischen Polymerisationen ist die Sequenzkontrolle schwierig, weil die chemischen Bausteine (Monomere) sehr reaktiv sind. Im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit werden die Eigenschaften zweier Monomere (Styrol und N-substituiertes Maleinimid) geschickt ausgenutzt, um in eine Styrolkette definierte und lokal scharf abgegrenzte Funktionssequenzen einzubauen. Uber eine kontrollierte radikalische Polymerisationsmethode (ATRP) wurden in einer Ein-Topf-Synthese über das N-substituierte Maleinimid chemische Funktionen an einer beliebigen Stelle der Polystyrolkette eingebaut. Es gelang ebenfalls, vier unterschiedliche Funktionen in einer vorgegebenen Sequenz in die Polymerkette einzubauen. Diese Technik wurde an zwanzig verschiedenen N-substituierten Maleinimiden getestet, die meisten konnten erfolgreich in die Polymerkette integriert werden. In dem zweiten in dieser Arbeit vorgestellten Ansatz zur Sequenzkontrolle, wurde der schrittweise Aufbau eines Oligomers aus hydrophoben und hydrophilen Segmenten (ω-Alkin-Carbonsäure bzw. α-Amin-ω-Azid-Oligoethylenglycol) an einem löslichen Polymerträger durchgeführt. Das Oligomer konnte durch die geschickte Auswahl der Verknüpfungsreaktionen ohne Schutzgruppenstrategie synthetisiert werden. Der lösliche Polymerträger aus Polystyrol wurde mittels ATRP selbst synthetisiert. Dazu wurde ein Startreagenz (Initiator) entwickelt, das in der Mitte einen säurelabilen Linker, auf der einen Seite die initiierende Einheit und auf der anderen die Ankergruppe für die Anbindung des ersten Segments trägt. Der lösliche Polymerträger ermöglichte einerseits die schrittweise Synthese in Lösung. Andererseits konnten überschüssige Reagenzien und Nebenprodukte zwischen den Reaktionsschritten durch Fällung in einem Nicht-Lösungsmittel einfach abgetrennt werden. Der Linker ermöglichte die Abtrennung des Oligomers aus jeweils drei hydrophoben und hydrophilen Einheiten nach der Synthese. N2 - Polymer scientists are impressed by polymers created by nature. This is caused by their structure which is aimed to fulfill very special functions. The structure is primary built by sequential covalent linking of building units. Secondly, supramolecular aggregation leads to three-dimensional alignment. The sequence of the building blocks has a high influence on the higher molecular arrangement. Proteins are only one example for supramolecular structures which have special functions because of their supramolecular arrangement. This structure-property relationship is also possible for synthetic polymers. For this reason the control of monomer sequences in synthtic polymers is just as important for the resulting structure of a synthetic polymer molecule. Even though the synthesis of polymers with complex strucures and sizes as in nature is impossible in near future. But the development of new and better techniques for sequence control in synthetic polymers is of high importance to create well defined macromolecular structures which are tailor-made for their function. In contrast to a lot of advanced synthethis strategies for the design of complex polymer architechtures (e.g. brushes, stars, or dendrimers) their are less approaches for a monomer sequence control in synthetic polymers. This work presents two different techniques for controlling the monomer sequence inside a polymer. Especially in technologically significant radical polymerization it is difficult to control the monomer sequence because radical species are very reactive and the addition of a monomer to the radical function is not selective. The first approach makes use of the properties of two monomers (styrene and N-substituted maleimides) to add chemical funtions locally inside a polystyrene chain. By addition of N-functionalized maleimides during the polymerization of styrene chemical functions could be added at any desired position inside the polystyrene chain. This technique was tested on 20 different N-substituted maleimides. Most of them were incorporated successfully into the polymer chain. The second monomer sequence control approach is a stepwise synthesis of an oligomer made of short alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments on a soluble polymer support. Two building blocks were used: ω-alkyne carboxylic acid (A-B) and α-amine-ω-azide oligoethylene glycol (C-D). The linking of the segments was done by applying two very efficient chemical reactions, namely 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes (A) and azides (D) and amidification of carboxylic acids (B) with primary amines (C). These two reactions proceed chemoselectively in an ABCD multifunctional mixture without a protection chemistry strategy. The polystyrene support was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in the presence of an azido-functionalized ATRP initiator containing a labile p-alkoxybenzyl ester linker. Depending on the choise of solvent, the soluble polymer support was used in solution during the coupling reactions or was precipitated for an easy removal of excessive reagents and by-products. The acid-labile linker could be cleaved by trifluoroacetic acid treatment to obtain a hydrophilic/hydrophobic block copolymer.

Here, we report on the interaction of a recently described new class of molecular rods with lipid and biological membranes. In order to characterize this interaction, different fluorescently labeled rods were synthesized allowing for the application of fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy based approaches. Our data show that the rods are incorporated into membranes with a perpendicular orientation to the membrane surface and enrich preferentially in liquid-disordered lipid domains. These characteristics underline that rods can be applied as stable membrane-associated anchors for functionalizing membrane surfaces.

In the 21st century, we have to aim at achieving sustainable, environmentally friendly and cheap energy supply by employing renewable energy technologies associated with portable energy storage devices. Lithium-ion batteries can repeatedly generate clean energy from stored materials and convert reversely electric into chemical energy. The performance of lithium-ion batteries depends intimately on the properties of their materials. Presently used battery electrodes are expensive to be produced; they offer limited energy storage possibility and are unsafe to be used in larger dimensions restraining the diversity of application, especially in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs). This thesis presents a major progress in the development of LiFePO4 as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Using simple procedure, a completely novel morphology has been synthesized (mesocrystals of LiFePO4) and excellent electrochemical behavior was recorded (nanostructured LiFePO4). The newly developed reactions for synthesis of LiFePO4 are single-step processes and are taking place in an autoclave at significantly lower temperature (200 deg. C) compared to the conventional solid-state method (multi-step and up to 800 deg. C). The use of inexpensive environmentally benign precursors offers a green manufacturing approach for a large scale production. These newly developed experimental procedures can also be extended to other phospho-olivine materials, such as LiCoPO4 and LiMnPO4. The material with the best electrochemical behavior (nanostructured LiFePO4 with carbon coating) was able to delive a stable 94% of the theoretically known capacity. N2 - Konventionelle Energiequellen sind weder nachwachsend und daher nachhaltig nutzbar, noch weiterhin langfristig verfügbar. Sie benötigen Millionen von Jahren um gebildet zu werden und verursachen in ihrer Nutzung negative Umwelteinflüsse wie starke Treibhausgasemissionen. Im 21sten Jahrhundert ist es unser Ziel nachhaltige und umweltfreundliche, sowie möglichst preisgünstige Energiequellen zu erschließen und nutzen. Neuartige Technologien assoziiert mit transportablen Energiespeichersystemen spielen dabei in unserer mobilen Welt eine große Rolle. Li-Ionen Batterien sind in der Lage wiederholt Energie aus entsprechenden Prozessen nutzbar zu machen, indem sie reversibel chemische in elektrische Energie umwandeln. Die Leistung von Li-Ionen Batterien hängen sehr stark von den verwendeten Funktionsmaterialien ab. Aktuell verwendete Elektrodenmaterialien haben hohe Produktionskosten, verfügen über limitierte Energiespeichekapazitäten und sind teilweise gefährlich in der Nutzung für größere Bauteile. Dies beschränkt die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Technologie insbesondere im Gebiet der hybriden Fahrzeugantriebe. Die vorliegende Dissertation beschreibt bedeutende Fortschritte in der Entwicklung von LiFePO4 als Kathodenmaterial für Li-Ionen Batterien. Mithilfe einfacher Syntheseprozeduren konnten eine vollkommen neue Morphologie (mesokristallines LiFePo4) sowie ein nanostrukturiertes Material mit exzellenten elektrochemischen Eigenschaften hergestellt werden. Die neu entwickelten Verfahren zur Synthese von LiFePo4 sind einschrittig und bei signifikant niedrigeren Temperaturen im Vergleich zu konventionellen Methoden. Die Verwendung von preisgünstigen und umweltfreundlichen Ausgangsstoffen stellt einen grünen Herstellungsweg für die large scale Synthese dar. Mittels des neuen Synthesekonzepts konnte meso- und nanostrukturiertes LiFe PO4 generiert werden. Die Methode ist allerdings auch auf andere phospho-olivin Materialien (LiCoPO4, LiMnPO4) anwendbar. Batterietests der besten Materialien (nanostrukturiertes LiFePO4 mit Kohlenstoffnanobeschichtung) ergeben eine mögliche Energiespeicherung von 94%.

All three chromophores could be introduced by a building block approach avoiding postsynthetic labeling. Additional features are robustness, matching spectroscopic properties, high-energy transfer, and sensitivity. The system was investigated in detail on a set of peptides as well as an array of tailored oligonucleotides. The detailed analysis of the experimental data and comparison with theoretical considerations were in excellent agreement. It is shown that in the case of polypeptides specific interaction with the fluorescence probes has to be considered. In contrast with DNA, the fluorescence probes did not show any indications of such interactions. The novel three-color FRET toolbox revealed the potential for applications studying fundamental processes of three interacting molecules in life science applications.
