Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Oxygenierung von ungesättigten Kohlenwasserstoffen durch Übergansmetalle und katalytischer Oxidation von Olefinen und Aliphaten. Sie ist in die folgenden drei Teile gegliedert: 1. Matrixisolationsstudien zum System MnO3Cl/Allen: Das System Permanganylchlorid/Allen wurde in einer Argonmatrix durch Photolyse (546 nm) zu Reaktion gebracht. Die entstandenen Komplexe (O=)2MnCl(O=CCH2CH2) 37R und (O=)2MnCl(H2COCCH2) 38R wurden mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie, Isotopenmarkierungs-Experimenten (18O, D) und DFT-Rechnungen (B3LYP/LANL2DZ) zweifelsfrei identifiziert und der Reaktionsmechanismus Hilfe von mit weiteren DFT-Rechnungen (B3LYP/6-311Gd) aufgeklärt. 2. Synthese eines neuen dinuklearen Vanadium-Silsesquioxan-Komplexes Silika geträgerte Vanadium-Komplexe sind vor allem als Katalysatoren für die Oxidation von Kohelnwasserstoffen interessant. Man geht davon aus, dass vor allem die tetraedrisch koordinierten VO4-Spezies für die katalytische Aktivität bzw. Selektivität verantwortlich sind. Da nur eine Vanada-Silsesquioxan-Modellverbindung bekannt war, wurden Versuche unternommen weitere zu synthetisieren. Es konnte eine neue Verbindung erhalten werden, die vollständig charakterisiert wurde und auf ihre katalytische Aktivität getestet wurde. 3. Quantenmechanische Rechnungen zur Lösung ausgewählter Fragestellungen des Systems Mo/Bi Mit Hilfe von DFT-Rechnungen wurden verschiedene Mo-Bi-Verbindungen, die im Rahmen der mechanistischen Aufklärung des SOHIO-Verfahrens durch Synthese von Modellverbindungen erhalten wurden, auf ihre besondere Bindungssituation hin untersucht. Dazu wurden unter anderem die Bader sowie die NBO-Analyse verwendet. / Submitted thesis deals with the oxygenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons by transition metals and catalytic oxidations of olefins and aliphats. It is divided into the following three parts: 1. Matrixisolationstudies of the system MnO3Cl/allene: The light-induced (546 nm) reaction of MnO3Cl with allene has been investigated in low-temperature argon matrices at 11 K. IR spectroscopic studies in combination with isotopic enrichment experiments (18O, D) and DFT calculations (B3LYP/LANL2DZ) allowed the identification of (O=)2MnCl(O=CCH2CH2), 37R, and (O=)2MnCl(H2COCCH2), 38R as products. First of all, possible ways for their formation are discussed qualitatively in the context of the literature available, and then quantitatively with the background of DFT data (B3LYP/6-311G(d)) obtained for starting materials, products, transition states and intermediates. Based on the results a reaction mechanism was proposed. 2. Synthesis of a novel dinuclear vanadium-silsesquioxane-complex Silica-supported vanadium complexes have attracted the interest as catalyst for the oxidation of hydrocarbons. Especially tetrahedrally coordinated VO4-Spezies are supposed as active/selective sites. To investigate the chemical behaviour and –properties of such species, Feher et al. synthesized a vanadium-silsesquioxane-complex in 1991 since silsesquioxanes are known to be excellent structural models for the silica surface. The synthesis and catalytic activity of a new complex, that was successfully synthesised, is reported here. 3. Quantum mechanical calculations for solving selected problems at Mo/Bi-systems. During the investigation of the reaction mechanism of the SOHIO-process some very unusual Mo-Bi-complexes could be isolated in the workgroup of Prof. Dr. Ch. Limberg. The bonding situation of four special complexes was analysed by means of calculations based of density functional theory (DFT) in combination with natural bond orbital analysis (NBO) respectively Bader-theory. 1

Window decoding schedules are very attractive for message passing decoding of spatially coupled LDPC codes. They take advantage of the inherent convolutional code structure and allow continuous transmission with low decoding latency and complexity. In this paper we show that the decoding complexity can be further reduced if suitable message passing schedules are applied within the decoding window. An improvement based schedule is presented that easily adapts to different ensemble structures, window sizes, and channel parameters. Its combination with a serial (on-demand) schedule is also considered. Results from a computer search based schedule are shown for comparison.

This master’s thesis deals with usage of burn-up (spent) nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants of next generation – accelerator driven transmutation plants which is produced in current nuclear power plants. This system could significantly reduce the volume of dangerous long-lived radioisotopes and moreover they would be able to take advantage of its great energy potential due to fast neutron spectrum. In the introduction are listed basic knowledge and aspects of spent nuclear fuel along with its reprocessing and the possibility of further use while minimizing environmental impact. As another point detailed description of accelerator driven systems is described together with its basic components. In addition this search is followed by individual chronological enumeration of projects of global significance concerning their current development. Emphasis is placed on SAD and MYRRHA projects, which are used like base for calculations. This last, computational part, deals with the creation of the geometry of subcritical transmutation reactor driven by accelerator and subsequent evaluation which assembly is the most effective for transmutation and energy purposes along with changing of target, nuclear fuel and coolant/moderator.
