The consecutive synthesis of 1,3,5-triferrocenyl-2,4,6-tris(ethynylferrocenyl)benzene (6c) is described using 1,3,5-Cl3-2,4,6-I3-C6 (2) as starting compound. Subsequent Sonogashira C,C cross-coupling of 2 with FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH (3) in the molar ratio of 1 : 4 afforded solely 1,3,5-Cl3-2,4,6-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)3-C6 (4c) (Fc = Fe(η5-C5H4)(η5-C5H5)). However, when 2 is reacted with 3 in a 1 : 3 ratio a mixture of 1,3,5-Cl3-2-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)-4,6-I2-C6 (4a) and 1,3,5-Cl3-2,4-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)2-6-I-C6 (4b) is obtained. Negishi C,C cross-coupling of 4c with FcZnCl (5) in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Pd(CH2C(CH3)2P(tC4H9)2)(μ-Cl)]2 gave 1,3-Cl2-5-Fc-2,4,6-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)3-C6 (6a), 1-Cl-3,5-Fc2-2,4,6-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)3-C6 (6b) and 1,3,5-Fc3-2,4,6-(FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)3-C6 (6c) of which 6b is the main product. Column chromatography allowed the separation of these organometallic species. The structures of 4a,b and 6a in the solid state were determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry showing a π–π interacting dimer (4b) and a complex π–π pattern for 6a. The electrochemical properties of 4a–c and 6a–c were studied by cyclic voltammetry (=CV) and square wave voltammetry (=SWV). It was found that the FcC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-substituted benzenes 4a–c show only one reversible redox event, indicating a simultaneous oxidation of all ferrocenyl units, whereby 4c is most difficult to oxidise (4a, E°′1 = 190, ΔEp = 71; 4b, E°′1 = 195, ΔEp = 59; 4c, E°′1 = 390, ΔEp = 59 mV). In case of 4c, the oxidation states 4cn+ (n = 2, 3) are destabilised by the partial negative charge of the electronegative chlorine atoms, which compensates the repulsive electrostatic Fc+–Fc+ interactions with attractive electrostatic Fc+–Clδ− interactions. When ferrocenyl units are directly attached to the benzene C6 core, organometallic 6a shows three, 6b five and 6c six separated reversible waves highlighting that the Fc units can separately be oxidised. UV-Vis/NIR spectroscopy allowed to determine IVCT absorptions (=Inter Valence Charge Transfer) for 6cn+ (n = 1, 2) (n = 1: νmax = 7860 cm−1, εmax = 405 L mol−1 cm−1, Δν1/2 = 7070 cm−1; n = 2: νmax = 9070 cm−1, εmax = 620 L mol−1 cm−1, Δν1/2 = 8010 cm−1) classifying these mixed-valent species as weakly coupled class II systems according to Robin and Day, while for 6a,b only LMCT transitions (=ligand to metal charge transfer) could be detected. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt das Verhalten von Polypeptid-Blockcopolymeren in der festen Phase und in selektiven Lösungsmitteln. Blockcopolymere auf Basis von Poly(L-glutaminsäure-5-benzylester) (PBLGlu) oder Poly(Nε-benzoyloxycarbonyl-L-lysin) (PZLLys), die in dieser Arbeit eingesetzt wurden, besitzen wegen ihrer helikalen Sekundärstruktur eine sog. Stäbchen-Knäuel-Geometrie, wobei die Knäuelkomponente Polystyrol oder Polybutadien ist. Die Phasenbildung dieser Blockcopolymere ist durch die Packungseigenschaften des rigiden Blocks beeinflusst. Es wurden bevorzugt lamellare Strukturen gebildet, in denen die Stäbchen parallel angeordnet sind. Das Vorhandensein eines permanenten Dipolmomentes führt zur Wechselwirkung zwischen den Helices und zur Erhöhung des Ordnungsgrades in der Phase. Ein zusätzlicher Parameter, der die Morphologie der Phase beeinflußt, ist die Chiralität der Peptidhelix, durch die chirale Überstrukturen induziert werden. In dünnen Filmen (40 nm), wo die Geometrie begrenzt ist, führt es zu Frustrationen in der Phase. Die dadurch entstandene Spannung wurde durch einen zick-zack-artigen Lamellenverlauf abgebaut. In selektiven Lösungsmitteln für die synthetische Komponente (PS) bilden die Polypeptid-Blockcopolymere vesikuläre Strukturen, deren kugel- oder wurmförmige Geometrie von der Elastizität der Membran abhängig ist. Durch Entfernung der Z-Schutzgruppe kann PZLLys in eine wasserlösliche Form überführt werden, so dass die PB-PLLys Blockcopolymere unter Bildung von Vesikeln in Wasser löslich sind. Dabei ist die Konformation des Peptids vom pH-Wert des Mediums abhängig und kann von einem Knäuel zu einer Helix reversibel geschaltet werden. Beim Modifizieren der Sekundärstruktur wurde eine Änderung der Aggregationszahl beobachtet. Somit können diese Blockcopolymere für die Herstellung von schaltbaren Aggregaten eingesetzt werden. / The presented work describes the behaviour of polypeptide-blockcopolymers in the solid-state and well as in selective solvents. Blockcopolymers consisting of PBLGlu or PZLLys / which have been utilized in this work, possess, because of their helical structure, a so-called Rod-Coil Geometry, where the coil component consists of polystyrene or polybutadiene. The phase morphology of these block copolymers is dominated by the packing properties of the rigid blocks. Most commonly, lamellar structures were formed, where the rods were ordered in a parallel fashion. The presence of a permanent dipole moment leads to an interaction between the helices and to an increase in the degree of order within the phase. An additional parameter that influences the phase morphology is the chirality of the peptide helix, which induces the formation of chiral superstructures. In thin films (40 nm), where the geometry is limited, a disordering within the phase is observed. The resulting tension leads to the formation of a zig-zag lamellar pattern. In selective solvents of the synthetic component (PS) of the blockcopolymer, formation of vesicular structures are observed, with spherical or worm-like geometry, depending on the elasticity of the membrane. Through removal of the z-protective groups, PZLLys becomes soluble in water, through the formation of PB-PLLys blockcopolymer vesicles. The conformation of the peptide is dependent on the pH value of the medium and can be reversibly changed from a coil to a helix structure. Through modification of the secondary structure, a change in the aggregation number is observed. Thereby, these blockcopolymers may find application in the fabrication of switchable aggregates.

In dieser Arbeit wurde die Rolle selektiver, nicht-kovalenter Wechselwirkungen bei der Selbstorganisation von Diblockcopolymeren untersucht. Durch Einführung elektrostatischer, dipolarer Wechselwirkungen oder Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen sollte es gelingen, komplexe Mesostrukturen zu erzeugen und die Ordnung vom Nanometerbereich auf größere Längenskalen auszuweiten. Diese Arbeit ist im Rahmen von Biomimetik zu sehen, da sie Konzepte der synthetischen Polymer- und Kolloidchemie und Grundprinzipien der Strukturbildung in supramolekularen und biologischen Systemen verbindet. Folgende Copolymersysteme wurden untersucht: (i) Blockionomere, (ii) Blockcopolymere mit chelatisierenden Acetoacetoxyeinheiten und (iii) Polypeptid-Blockcopolymere. / In this work, the basic principles of self-organization of diblock copolymers having the in¬herent property of selective or specific non-covalent binding were examined. By the introduction of electrostatic, dipole–dipole, or hydrogen bonding interactions, it was hoped to add complexity to the self-assembled mesostructures and to extend the level of ordering from the nanometer to a larger length scale. This work may be seen in the framework of biomimetics, as it combines features of synthetic polymer and colloid chemistry with basic concepts of structure formation applying in supramolecular and biological systems. The copolymer systems under study were (i) block ionomers, (ii) block copolymers with acetoacetoxy chelating units, and (iii) polypeptide block copolymers.

(2-Acetyl­ferrocen-1-yl)boronic acid, [Fe(C5H5)(C7H8BO3)] or 2-C(O)CH3-1-B(OH)2–Fc [Fc = Fe(η5-C5H3)(η5-C5H5)], crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n. The boronic acid functionality inter­acts via intra­molecular hydrogen bonds with the acetyl group and with the –B(OH)2 functionality of an adjacent mol­ecule. The resulting centrosymmetric dimer exhibits an anti-positioning of the ferrocenyl moieties towards the central B2O4 plane. Consequently, an (Rp,Sp)-, i.e. a meso configuration is present for this dimer. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds consolidate the mol­ecular packing.

The present thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of magnesium, copper, and iron complexes and their application in the MOCVD (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) process, as well as the synthesis and characterization of yttrium and gadolinium complexes and their use as spin-coating precursors for metal oxide thin layer formation. The objective of this scientific work is the development of the family of bis(β-ketoiminato) magnesium(II) complexes and a series of heteroleptic β-ketoiminato copper(II) precursors for the formation of magnesium oxide and copper/copper oxide layers by using the MOCVD process. Modifications of the ketoiminato ligands affect the physical and chemical properties of the respective complexes. Another central theme of this work is the development of β-diketonato iron(III) complexes for the deposition of carbon-free gamma- and alpha-Fe2O3 layers via MOCVD. The thermal behavior and vapor pressure of the precursors could be influenced by the variation of the β-diketonate ligands. In addition, the synthesis and characterization of yttrium and gadolinium β-diketonates and their use as spin-coating precursors are described. Field-effect transistors were successfully fabricated by the deposition of carbon nanotubes on top of the Y2O3 films.
