In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Synthese neuartiger, polynuklearer Bismutoxido-Cluster sowie deren Potential zur Verwendung als Bausteine zum Aufbau organisch-anorganischer Hybridmaterialien beschrieben. Die molekularen Verbindungen werden nach partieller Hydrolyse eines basischen Bismutnitrats in DMSO erhalten. Durch Zugabe von Additiven wie Carbon- und Sulfonsäuren können funktionalisierte Bismutoxido-Cluster erzeugt werden, die eine gute Löslichkeit in organischen polaren Lösungsmitteln besitzen. Die Charakterisierung der Produkte erfolgte mittels Einkristallröntgenstrukturanalyse, NMR- und IR-Spektroskopie sowie ESI-Massenspektrometrie. Erste Untersuchungen zur Synthese röntgenopaker organisch-anorganischer Hybridmaterialien auf der Basis von Bismutoxido-Clustern und Methylmethacrylat wurden durchgeführt. Hierzu wurde der nanoskalige Bismutoxido-Cluster [Bi38O45(OMc)24] als anorganischer Baustein gewählt. Die Oberfläche des Bismut-Sauerstoff-Gerüsts dieser Verbindung ist mit Methacrylat-Liganden bedeckt, welche eine gute Löslichkeit vermitteln und durch ihre polymerisierbaren Funktionalitäten eine kovalente Anbindung z. B. an Vinylmonomere ermöglichen. Die radikalische Copolymerisation von [Bi38O45(OMc)24] mit Methylmethacrylat liefert transparente Komposite, die anhand von Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie, IR-Spektroskopie sowie TG- und DSC-Analyse charakterisiert wurden.

The acid and base catalyzed simultaneous twin polymerization (STP) of various 2,2′-disubstituted 4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline derivatives 2a–d with 2,2′-spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline] (1) are presented in this paper. The products are nanostructured ternary organic–inorganic hybrid materials consisting of a cross-linked organic polymer, silica and a disubstituted polysiloxane. It can be demonstrated whether and in which extent the copolymerization of the two inorganic fragments of 1 and 2 takes place among the STP and how the molar ratio of the two components determines the structure formation of the resulting hybrid material. Steric and electronic effects of the substituents at the silicon center of 2 on the molecular structure formation and the morphology of the resulting hybrid material were investigated by means of solid state CP MAS 29Si and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). The mechanical properties (hardness and Young's modulus) of the hybrid materials were analyzed by means of nanoindentation measurements. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Solarzellen aus organisch-anorganischen hybriden Perowskithalbleitern gelten als mögliche Schlüsseltechnologie zur Erzeugung günstiger und umweltfreundlicher elektrischer Energie und somit als Meilenstein für die Energiewende. Um die weltweit stetig wachsende Nachfrage an elektrischer Energie zu decken, bedarf es Solarzellentechnologien, welche gleichzeitig eine hohe Effizienz nahe dem Shockley-Queisser-Limit als auch eine hinreichend gute Stabilität aufweisen. Während die Effizienz von Solarzellen auf Basis von Perowskithalbleitern in dem letzten Jahrzehnt eine bemerkenswerte Entwicklung erfahren hat, lassen sich die wesentlichen physikalischen Mechanismen dieser Technologie noch nicht vollständig erklären. Die elektronisch-ionische Mischleitfähigkeit ist eine dieser Eigenschaften, welche die Effizienz und besonders die Stabilität der Perowskit-Solarzelle beeinflusst. Zentrales Thema dieser Arbeit ist daher die Untersuchung von mobilen ionischen Defekten und deren Einfluss auf Solarzellenparametern. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Migrationsraten ionischer Defekte in Perowskit breiten Verteilungen unterliegen. Durch die Anwendung eines neu entwickelten Regularisationsalgorithmus für inverse Laplace-Transformationen und verschiedener Messmoden für transiente Störstellenspektroskopie kann somit geklärt werden, warum sich berichtete ionische Defektparameter aus der Literatur für gleiche Defekte stark unterscheiden können. Dieses grundlegende Verständnis kann angewendet werden, um den Einfluss von kleinen stöchiometrischen Variationen auf die Defektlandschaft zu untersuchen und das Zusammenspiel zwischen elektronischen und ionischen Eigenschaften besser zu verstehen. Der Einsatz der Meyer-Neldel Regel ermöglicht ferner eine Kategorisierung ionischer Defekte in Perowskithalbleitern. Im letzten Teil dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass elektrische und optische Methoden wie intensitätsmodulierte Spektroskopie geeignet sind, um Informationen über mobile Ionen in hybriden Perowskiten zu erhalten. Zusätzlich wird das elektronische Rekombinationsverhalten näher untersucht. / Solar cells made of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite semiconductors are considered as a possible key technology for the conversion of cheap and environmentally friendly electrical energy and thus as a milestone for the turnaround in energy policy. In order to meet the steadily growing global demand for electrical energy, solar cell tech- nologies are required that are both highly efficient, i.e. close to the Shockley–Queisser limit, and sufficiently stable. While the efficiency of solar cells based on perovskite semi- conductors has undergone a remarkable development in the last decade, the essential physical mechanisms of this technology cannot yet be fully explained. The electronic- ionic mixed conductivity is one of these properties, which influences the efficiency and especially the stability of the perovskite solar cell. The central topic of this thesis is therefore the investigation of mobile ionic defects and their influence on solar cell parameters. It is shown that the migration rates of ionic defects in perovskites are attributed to wide distributions. By application of a newly developed regularisation algorithm for inverse Laplace transform and different measurement modes for deep-level transient spectroscopy, it can thus be clarified why reported ionic defect parameters from the literature for the same defects can differ significantly. This basic understanding can be used to study the influence of small stoichiometric variations on the defect landscape and to better understand the interaction between electronic and ionic properties. Us- ing the Meyer–Neldel rule also allows the characterisation of ionic defects in perovskite semiconductors. The last part of this thesis shows that electrical and optical methods such as intensity-modulated spectroscopy are suitable for obtaining information about mobile ions in hybrid perovskites. In addition, the electronic recombination behaviour is examined more closely.

Im Fokus dieser Arbeit stand die Methode Zwillingspolymerisation zur Synthese organisch-anorganischer Hybridmaterialien. Die simultane Zwillingspolymerisation wird als neues Konzept zur gezielten Herstellung homogener, nanostrukturierter Hybridmaterialien unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung vorgestellt. Hierfür wurden die Zwillingsmonomere 2,2’-Spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasilin] und 2,2 Dimethyl-4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasilin in einem Arbeitsschritt gemeinsam polymerisiert. Die erhaltenen Phenolharz-Siliciumdioxid/Dimethylsiloxan-Hybridmaterialien weisen aufgrund einstellbarer Syntheseparameter unterschiedliche Eigenschaftsprofile auf, die systematisch analysiert wurden. Die Charakterisierung der Produkte erfolgte mit Hilfe der Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie, Elektronenmikroskopie, DSC, TGA-MS, sowie durch Extraktionsversuche und die Erzeugung und Analyse poröser Materialien. Neben der simultanen Zwillingspolymerisation wird die Synthese, Charakterisierung und thermisch induzierte Polymerisation literaturunbekannter Silicium-Spiroverbindungen mit einfach- oder zweifach substituierter Salicylalkohol-Einheit beschrieben. Hierbei wurden nanostrukturierte Hybridmaterialien mit teils hohem löslichen Anteil erhalten. Die Produktbildung wird in Abhängigkeit von der Entstehung und Weiterreaktion gefundener Chinonmethid-Strukturen diskutiert.

Four molecular germanates based on salicyl alcoholates, bis(dimethylammonium) tris[2-(oxidomethyl)phenolate(2-)]germanate (1), bis(dimethylammonium) tris[4-methyl-2-(oxidomethyl)phenolate(2-)]germanate (2), bis(dimethylammonium) tris[4-bromo-2-(oxidomethyl)phenolate(2-)]germanate (3) and dimethylammonium bis[2-tert-butyl-4-methyl-6-(oxidomethyl)phenolate(2-)][2-tert-butyl-4-methyl-6-(hydroxymethyl)phenolate(1-)]germanate (4), were synthesized and characterized including single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the solid state, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit one-dimensional hydrogen bonded networks, whereas compound 4 forms separate ion pairs, which are connected by hydrogen bonds between the dimethylammonium and the germanate moieties. The potential of these compounds for thermally induced twin polymerization (TP) was studied. Germanate 1 was converted by TP to give a hybrid material (HM-1) composed of phenolic resin and germanium dioxide. Subsequent reduction with hydrogen provided a microporous composite containing crystalline germanium and carbon (Ge@C – C-1, germanium content ∼20%). Studies on C-1 as an anode material for Li-ion batteries revealed reversible capacities of ∼370 mA h gGe@C−1 at a current density up to 1384 mA g−1 without apparent fading for 500 cycles. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

The promising role resistive random-access memory (RRAM) plays in the imminent reality of wearable electronics calls for a new, updated physical model of their operating mechanism. Their high applicability as the next-generation flexible non-volatile memory (NVM) devices has promoted the recent emergence of a novel ultra-thin (< 5nm) organic/inorganic hybrid dielectric RRAM. A deep understanding of their resistive switching (RS) behavior is required to unlock their suitability in future electronics applications. However, the extremely reduced thicknesses bring about new challenges in terms of material characterization sample processing, while the RS observations through electrical characterization techniques lack uniformity in the key switching parameters, thus hindering the identification of any clear trends.  This work studies the RS mechanism in ultra-thin Al/Hf-hybrid/Ni RRAM devices through uniformity-improved electrical observations. First, the focus is to implement a ramped-pulse train method during the reset process to reduce the dispersion of the voltage and resistance fluctuations at different starting voltage amplitudes and pulse widths. After finding the optimal electrical programming conditions for reduced parameter dispersions, a temperature test was performed to study the contributions of the metal ions and oxygen vacancies (V2+) in the switching layer. Finally, a physical model describing the operating mechanism in flexible RRAM is proposed after the close observation and study of the processed devices. The model is based on the coexistence of a hetero-metallic portion composed of Al and Hf3Al2, and a V2+ portion connected to form the hybrid conducting filament (CF) and turning the device on. The CF forming processes emphasize the strong presence of these vacancies partaking in RS, as the temperature dependence results suggest the majority of their concentration to be generated during this step. Also, the different electrical potential, temperature, and concentration gradients influencing the V2+ migration during RS may explain some of the failure mechanisms in the rupture and the re-forming of the filament. Additionally, the possible presence of a thin Al-oxide layer in the Al/Hf-hybrid interface may give a reason for leaky on-states. A detailed physical model of the RS mechanism in next-generation flexible RRAMs is key to learn to unlock a range of emerging technologies fitted to today’s needs. / Den senaste introduktionen av ultratunn (<5 nm) organisk-oorganisk hybrid dielektrisk RRAM som nästa generations icke-flyktiga minnesenheter kräver en djup förståelse för hybridskiktresistiv växling (RS). Den extremt reducerade tjockleken hindrar emellertid deras bearbetbarhet för materialkarakteriseringstekniker. Dessutom hindrar den dåliga enhetligheten i viktiga omkopplingsparametrar fortfarande i RRAM att alla trender kan definieras tydligt genom elektrisk karakterisering. Detta arbete använder elektrisk manipulation genom en RPS-metod (ramped-pulse series) för att förbättra spännings- och motståndsfluktuationerna i återställningsprocessen för ultratunna Al/Hf-hybrid/Ni-enheter vid olika spänningsamplitud, pulsbredd och temperaturförhållanden. Från de erhållna RPS-optimerade resultaten föreslås en ny och detaljerad fysisk modell som beskriver driftsmekanismen. Samexistensen i den ledande filamenten (CF) av en hybridmetalldel, sammansatt av Al och Hf3Al2, och en syrevakansdel bekräftas. Vår modell betonar vakansbidraget i RS, där majoriteten genereras under CF-formningsprocessen och deltar i olika grad i filamentbrottet för RPS och ingen RPS-bearbetade enheter via Joule-uppvärmning, drift och Fick-krafter. Dessutom förklaras kopplingsfelhändelser baserat på närvaron av ett Al2O3-lager i Al/Hf-hybridgränssnittet.

[EN] Abstract The present PhD thesis entitled "Supramolecular Chemistry: New chemodosimeters and hybrid materials for the chromo-fluorogenic detection of anions and neutral molecules" is based on the application of supramolecular chemistry and material science principles for the development of optical chemosensors for anions and neutral molecules detection. The second chapter of this PhD thesis is devoted to the preparation of chemodosimeters for the chromo-fluorogenic detection of fluoride, diisopropyl fluorophosphates (DFP) and hydrogen sulfide. The optical detection of fluoride anion was achieved by using a pyridine derivative containing a t-butyldimethylsilyl ether group. Aqueous solutions of the chemodosimeter were colorless but turned yellow upon addition of fluoride anion. Also a remarkable enhancement in emission was observed only upon the addition of fluoride. The optical changes were ascribed to a fluoride-induced hydrolysis of the silyl ether moiety. Also a chemodosimeter for the optical recognition of DFP, a nerve agent simulant, was prepared. In this case, the chemodosimeter was based on a stilbene pyridinium derivative functionalized with hydroxyl and silyl ether moieties. Aqueous solutions of the chemodosimeter were colorless changing to yellow upon DFP addition. The optical changes were ascribed to a hydroxyl phosphorylation followed by a fluoride-induced hydrolysis of the silyl ether group. Besides, that probe was implemented in test strips and DFP detection in gas phase was accomplished. Finally, the fluorogenic recognition of hydrogen sulfide anion was explored. For this purpose different fluorophores were selected and fucntionalized with 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether groups. The prepared probes were neraly non-emissive but remarkable emission enhancements upon addition of hydrogen sulfide were observed. The emission enhancements observed were due to a selective sulfide-induced hydrolysis of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl ether moiety that yielded the free fluorophores. Another set of chemodosimeters equipped with azide and sulfonylazide moieties were prepared. Again these probes were non-fluorescent but upon addition of hydrogen sulfide an important enhancement in emission was found. The selective response was ascribed to a reduction of the azide and sulfonylazide moieties to amine and sulfonylamide induced by hydrogen sulfide anion. Besides, the viability assays showed that these dosimeters were essentially non-toxic and real-time fluorescence imaging measurements confirmed their ability to detect intracellular hydrogen sulfide at micromolar concentrations. The third chapter of this PhD thesis was devoted to the preparation of nanoscopic gated materials and their use in sensing protocols. In a first step a gated material for the optical detection of glutathione (GSH) was prepared. For this purpose MCM-41 mesoporous silca nanoparticles were selected as inorganic scaffold. The pores were loaded with safranine O and the external surface was functionalized with disulfide-containing oligo(ethylene glycol) moieties. Dye delivery from aqueous suspensions of the sensory material was only observed in the presence of GSH. The signalling paradigm was ascribed to the selective reduction of the disulfide bond by GSH which induced pore opening and dye release. Also capped organic-inorganic hybrid materials for the selective detection of hydrogen sulfide were prepared and characterized. In this case the same MCM-41 support was used and charged with [Ru(bipy)3]2+ dye. Then, the external surface was functionalized with Cu(II)-macorcyclic complexes and finally, the pores were capped by the addition of the bulky anion hexametaphosphate. Aqueous suspensions of this material showed negligible dye release whereas in the presence of hydrogen sulfide anion a remarkable colour change was observed. This optical response was ascribed to a demetallation process of the Cu(II) complex induced by hydrogen sulfide. / [ES] Resumen La presente tesis doctoral titulada "Química supramolecular: Nuevos dosímetros químicos y materiales híbridos para la detección cromo-fluorogénica de aniones y moléculas neutras." está basada en la aplicación de principios básicos de la química supramolecular y de la ciencia de materiales en el desarrollo de sensores ópticos para aniones y moléculas neutras.

El material sensor final fue obtenido al añadir el anion hexametafosfato, que compleja con los complejos de Cu(II), produciendo un bloqueo de los poros. / [CAT] Resum La present tesi doctoral titulada "Química supramolecular: Nous dosímetres químics i materials híbrids per a la detecció cromo-fluorogènica d'anions i molècules neutres." està basada en l'aplicació dels principis bàsics de la química supramolecular i de la ciència dels materials en el desenvolupament de sensors òptics per a anions i molècules neutres. El segon capítol d'aquesta tesi doctoral està dedicat a la preparació de dosímetres químics per a la detecció cromo-fluorogènica de fluorur, diisopropil fluorofosfat (DFP) i sulfur d'hidrogen.

La segona família de dosímetres també estava composada per certs fluròfors però, en aquest cas, funcionalitzats amb grups azida i sulfonilazida. Els dosímetres preparats, seguint aquesta segona aproximació, tampoc donaren una fluorescència significativa observant-se un augment de la mateixa al afegir l'anió hidrogen sulfur. El tercer capítol d'aquesta tesi doctoral està dedicat a la preparació de materials híbrids nanoscòpics funcionalitzats amb portes moleculars i la seua aplicació en protocols de reconeixement.

Els porus del suport inorgànic varen ser carregats amb [Ru(bipy)3]2+ i la superfície externa funcionalitzada amb diversos complexos macrocíclics de Cu(II). El material sensor final es va obtindre al afegir l'anió hexametafosfat, que es complexa amb macrocicles de Cu(II), produint un bloqueig dels porus. / El Sayed Shehata Nasr, S. (2015).
