A doença de Chagas, causada pelo protozoário flagelado Trypanosoma cruzi, é uma doença tropical que enseja morte/morbidade de milhões de pessoas na América Latina. Por processos migratórios, vem-se estendendo ao sul dos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Europa, Austrália e Japão. Essa doença tem sido considerada super-negligenciada pela indústria farmacêutica, já que os dois fármacos disponíveis para o seu tratamento foram introduzidos há mais de quarenta anos e apresentam baixa eficácia com vários efeitos colaterais severos. Mais recentemente, a Organização Mundial da Saúde considerou a doença de Chagas, dentre outras, como a doença da pobreza! Com esse cenário completamente desfavorável aos portadores da doença, é necessária a descoberta, desenvolvimento e introdução de novos fármacos para o tratamento eficiente e seguro da doença de Chagas. <br />Dentro desse contexto, este trabalho representa uma importante contribuição para o entendimento das razões moleculares da ação farmacológica de substâncias químicas bioativas de interesse à farmacoterapia da doença de Chagas. Ao nível molecular, a enzima pertencente à via de síntese de novo de nucleotídeos de pirimidinas, diidroorotato desidrogenase do Trypanosoma cruzi (TcDHODH), é um alvo promissor para a descoberta e desenvolvimento de candidatos a fármacos de interesse para o tratamento da doença de Chagas. <br />Os conceitos e ferramentas da química medicinal computacional, tais como os ensaios virtuais in silico, foram usados para a identificação de inibidores da TcDHODH. Vinte e seis substâncias inéditas como inibidores da TcDHODH foram adquiridos comercialmente e avaliados experimentalmente através da Calorimetria de Titulação Isotérmica (ITC) para a determinação do mecanismo de inibição e da constante cinética de afinidade (Kiapp). <br />Na etapa de docagem molecular, o objetivo era identificar moléculas que apresentassem uma boa afinidade pelo sítio ativo da enzima TcDHODH. A primeira série de ligantes selecionados dos métodos in silico, apresentou inibição enzimática na concentração de micromolar com eficiência média de ligante de 0,50 kcal mol-1 átomo-1. Devido à baixa massa molecular (aproximadamente 200 kDa) e a alta eficiência de ligante, essa série foi considerada como constituída de excelentes substâncias com elevado poder de reconhecimento biomolecular. Por isso, foram caracterizadas como substâncias passíveis de otimização no processo do-ligante-para-substância matriz. <br />As enzimas TcDHODH e DHODH de Leishmania major (LmDHODH) têm sítios ativos com elevado grau de similaridade. Portanto, usando a enzima LmDHODH como padrão de substituição da TcDHODH é possível fazer a descrição do modo de interação do co-complexo TcDHODH-inibidor. O modo de ação descrito através da resolução da estrutura cristalográfica de raios-X, além de validar ortogonalmente os resultados cinéticos obtidos por ITC - que identificou as substâncias como inibidores competitivos (por interação direta no sítio ativo da enzima TcDHODH), geraram hipóteses farmacofóricas para a busca de novas moléculas (chamadas de segunda geração), agora com padrão superior de reconhecimento molecular do sítio da TcDHODH. Para validar complementarmente a hipótese, foi demonstrado que os inibidores da TcDHODH inibem, similarmente, a LmDHODH. <br />Uma análise cuidadosa da estrutura tridimensional da enzima TcDHODH, demostrou a possibilidade de ocupação do sítio S2 que se estende além da região do sítio catalítico S1, permitindo assim o aumento da afinidade biomolecular com os inibidores. Além disso, o sítio S2 não é encontrado na estrutura da proteína de humanos (HsDHODH), podendo ser uma região passível de seletividade frente à enzima TcDHODH. <br />O emprego adequado dessa hipótese resultou na otimização dos ligantes identificados previamente para substâncias mais potentes que inibiram a enzima de forma competitiva em relação ao substrato diidroorotato (DHO) em valores Kiapp de 121 &plusmn; 14 nM e 190 &plusmn; 10 nM. <br />A técnica de ITC foi fundamental no processo de descoberta de inibidores enzimáticos, pois se mostrou extremamente susceptível à determinação da interação intermolecular enzima-inibidor, permitindo acompanhar a cinética da reação e obter os valores da constante de afinidade de maneira precisa e acurada. Com isso, a taxa de acerto obtida nesta tese foi de 46%, considerando-se apenas as substâncias com valores de Ki app < 100 &micro;M. Esse é um número favoravelmente apreciável, já que na literatura ele gira em torno de 1-10% quando o planejamento in silico é realizado, quando comparado às taxas de acerto dos métodos de ensaio em larga escala (HTS), entre 0-2 %, os resultados alcançados neste trabalho são ainda mais significativos. <br />Além disso, as substâncias químicas selecionadas através da integração de métodos in silico e biocalorimétricos apresentam elevado grau de complexidade no processo biomolecular de interação enzima-ligante, que permite classificá-las para as fases seguintes da gênese planejada de fármacos. / American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease, caused by the haemoflagellate Trypanosoma cruzi, is a tropical disease that affects millions of people in Latin America. Epidemiology of Chagas disease in non-endemic countries is attained by immigration as the disease also affects people in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan. However, the United States are not to be written off as an area of nonendemicity for Chagas disease like Europe or Asia because the southern states have enzootic T. cruzi transmission that involves triatomine species and hosts such as raccoons, opossums, and domestic dogs. Even though, this disease has been considered as a super-neglected from the big Pharma Industry viewpoint since the only available drugs for its treatment were introduced in the market more than forty years ago and worsen is that they have low efficacy and cause various severe side effects. <br />Although the current clinical scenario is of course discouraging and is far from being even a soothing treatment for those who suffer from the disease, it prompt ones to set efforts towards the need of discovering and developing new efficacious and safe drugs to treat Chagas disease. <br />Our research group covers the concept of enzymes acting as targets for the action of drugs. Once T. cruzi has many druggable targets, the dihydroorotate dehydrogenase enzyme (TcDHODH) that belongs to the de novo pyrimidine nucleotide synthetic pathway has been chosen for the search of new inhibitors that may be of use in the treatment of Chagas disease. To accomplish with this and considering that inhibitors are molecules that decrease enzyme activity leading to parasite death, we used the concepts and tools of modern computational medicinal chemistry such as in silico screening of small molecules that bind to the active site of the TcDHODH. <br />After a thoroughly program of virtually screening thousands of compounds, 26 were purchased from commercially available sources and experimentally assayed against the TcDHODH using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) in order to determine the mechanism of inhibition and the kinetic affinity constant (Kiapp). <br />The first series of inhibitors selected from our in silico strategy were evaluated by ITC to yield compounds that inhibited the TcDHODH in the micromolar concentration range with an average of 0.50 kcal mol-1 atom-1 ligand efficiency (LE). Because the assayed compounds have low molecular weight (ca. 200 kDa) and high LE, which bring them to the specific bimolecular pattern recognition all of them were considered good inhibitors capable of being selected to enter the hit-to-lead optimization process. <br />The detailed description of the ligand-enzyme mode of binding (MOB) is thoroughly accomplished by solving the X ray crystal structure of the surrogate Leishmania major DHODH enzyme (LmDHODH), which has a high degree of similarity with the enzyme TcDHODH. The MOB credited to be in the active site of the TcDHODH orthogonally validated the ITC kinetic experimental data obtained for all ligands as competitive inhibitors that interact at the active site of the TcDHODH and helped to generate pharmacophoric hypotheses for the search of new second generation molecules acting against the enzyme TcDHODH.  Analyzing the 3D structure of the TcDHODH along with its surrogate LmDHODH, we envisaged the possibility of compounds to extend their side chain beyond the region of the catalytic site (called S1), and interacting in a region called S2, so to increase binding affinity. Moreover, the TcDHODH S2 site that is not found in the 3D protein structure of humans (HsDHODH) is likely to offer new insights for the search of inhibitors whose binding to this S2 site can pave the roads towards the needed structural basis for selective inhibition of TcDHODH. <br />The most potent compounds inhibited the enzyme competitively with respect to the substrate dihydroorotate (DHO) at Kiapp values of 121 &plusmn; 14 nM and 190 &plusmn; 10 nM, which constitutes high affinity TcDHODH inhibitors. The ITC technique was pivotal to this process of enzyme inhibitors discovery, because it proved to be extremely sensitive thus allowing to monitor the kinetics of the reaction and to obtain precise and accurate values of affinity constants. <br />The hit rate obtained in this work, considering only those compounds with Kiapp < 100 &micro;M, was 46%. This is a really high number, since literature values range from 1 to 10% when the planning new inhibitors via in silico methods when compared to the success rates obtained by the methods of testing on large scales (HTS), 0-2 %, the results achieved in this work are even more significant. Moreover, the compounds selected through the integration of in silico and calorimetric methods showed a high degree of complexity in the process of bimolecular enzyme-ligand recognition, which allows to pass them to the next phase of the drug design process.

Text in English / Specially prepared 2-amino-5-bromo-3-iodoacetophenone and 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3 iodoacetophenone were subjected to Claisen-Schmidt aldol condensation with benzaldehyde derivatives followed by sequential and/or one-pot palladium catalyzed Sonogashira cross coupling and heteroannulation of the 3-alkynylated intermediates to afford indole-chalcones and benzofuran-chalcones, respectively. The indole-chalcones derivatives were, in turn, subjected to trifluoroacetic anhydride in tetrahydrofuran under reflux to afford the corresponding 3-trifluoroacetyl substituted indole-chalcone derivatives. The coupling constant values (Jtrans) of about 16.0 Hz for the chalcone derivatives corresponding to the vinylic protons confirmed the trans geometry of the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl framework in all the cases. Their trans geometry of the chalcone derivatives was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Further structural elaboration of the ambident electrophilic α,β unsaturated carbonyl (chalcone) moiety of the indole-chalcones and the analogous benzofuran chalcones with 2-aminothiophenol afforded novel benzothiezapine-appended indole and benzofuran hybrids, respectively. Sonogashira cross-coupling of 5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3 iodoacetophenone with terminal acetylenes followed by heteroannulation of the intermediate 3-alkynylated 5-bromo-2-hydroxyacetophenones afforded the corresponding 7-acetyl-2-aryl-5-bromobenzofurans in a single-pot operation. The oximes derived from the 7-acetyl–substituted 2-aryl-5-bromobenzofurans were subjected to Beckmann rearrangement with triflic acid in acetonitrile under reflux. We isolated the corresponding 7-amino-2-aryl-5 bromobenzofuran derivatives formed from hydrolysis in situ of the intermediate 7-acetamide 2-aryl-5-bromobenzofurans. Amino-dechlorination of the 4-chloroquinazoline derivatives with the 7-aminobenzofurans afforded novel benzofuran 4-aminoquinazoline hybrids. The prepared compounds were characterized using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR & 13C-NMR including 19F-NMR), infrared (IR) and mass spectroscopic techniques complemented with single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses and/or density functional (DFT) method. The benzofuran-chalcone 203a–y derivatives were evaluated for anti-growth effect against the breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line by the MTT cell viability assay. Their mode of cancer cell death (apoptosis versus necrosis) was detected by Annexin V-Cy3 SYTOX staining and caspase-3 activation. The most cytotoxic compounds 203i and 203o were also evaluated for potential to inhibit tubulin polymerization and/or epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) phosphorylation. The experimental results were complemented with theoretical data from molecular docking into ATP binding site of the EGFR and colchicine binding site of tubulin, respectively. The benzofuran–4-aminoquinazoline hybrids 215a–j, on the other hand, were evaluated for antiproliferative propeties in vitro against the human lung cancer (A549), epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) and hepatocellular carcinoma (C3A) cell lines. The benzofuran-aminoquinazoline hybrids were also evaluated for potential to induce apoptosis and for their capability to inhibit EGFR-TK phosphorylation complemented with molecular docking (in silico) into the ATP binding site of EGFR. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the benzofuran-appended aminoquinazoline hybrids 215d and 215j induced apoptosis via activation of caspase-3 pathway. Moreover, compounds 215d and 215j exhibited significant and moderate inhibitory effects against EGFR (IC50 = 29.3 nM and 61.5 nM, respectively) when compared to Gefitinib (IC50 = 33.1 nM). Molecular docking of compounds 215 into EGFR-TK active site suggested that they bind to the region of EGFR like Gefitinib does. / Chemistry / D. Phil. (Chemistry)

Les phénomènes d'auto-assemblage sont au premier plan de la recherche en sciences des matériaux car ils comblent le vide laissé entre les procédés d'assemblage à l'échelle macroscopique et nanoscopique. L'auto-assemblage est basé sur l'organisation spontanée de composants individuels en motifs et structures. Contrôler l’agencement de la matière peut accroître les propriétés de matériaux en introduisant une certaine anisotropie. Cet agencement, comme de nombreux matériaux naturels le prouvent, peut même sous certaines conditions faire émerger de nouvelles caractéristiques. Au cours de ces trois années, nous avons utilisé l’ « ice templating » (texturation à la glace) pour déclencher l’alignement de plaquettes de dimensions microniques, le but final étant de répliquer la microstructure de la nacre. Cette technique induit la ségrégation des constituants d’une suspension à l’échelle du micron tout en obtenant des échantillons de quelques centimètres cubes. Ce procédé a permis la création de matériaux inorganique avec une microstructure semblable à la nacre, en additionnant trois niveaux de contrôles successifs : l’alignement local des plaquettes, l’alignement à longue distance des cristaux de glaces et enfin le contrôle de l’interface entre ces-mêmes plaquettes. L’utilisation d’une modélisation par éléments discrets nous a permis d’étudier la dynamique de l’auto-assemblage des particules anisotropes. Ce modèle, parce qu’il tient compte de la dynamique du procédé, nous a révélé comment l’organisation de ces particules se produit. La tomographie par rayon X a permis de visualiser les structures finales des échantillons et d’attester de la pertinence du modèle. L’alignement local des plaquettes dans les parois générées par la solidification de la glace peuvent accroître les propriétés fonctionnelles et structurales de composites. Dans ce cadres deux applications ont été étudiées : la conduction thermique dans des composites nitrure de bore hexagonal / silicone et les propriétés mécaniques d’alumine macroporeuses. Une adaptation du procédé a permis d’obtenir l’alignement à longue distance (quelques centimètres) des cristaux de glaces. Différents outils ont été développés pour caractériser la réponse fonctionnelle de ce type de composite en fonction de leurs architectures aux deux échelles considérées (celles des macropores et parois). Enfin, après la mise en place de ces deux niveaux de contrôle sur la structure, l’addition d’une phase vitreuse inorganique et de nanoparticules aux joints de grains des plaquettes a introduit, de façon similaire à la nacre, des interfaces pouvant dévier et arrêter la propagation de fissures. / Self-assembly phenomena are of prime interest in materials science, because they fill the gap between assembly of macrostructure and processing of nanomaterials. Self-assembly is based on the spontaneous organization of individual small constituents into patterns and structures. Controlling the spatial arrangement can possibly improve materials properties by maximizing its response in a given direction. Furthermore, particular types of spatial arrangement, such as found in natural structures, can even induce new properties. During the past three years, we have used ice templating process to trigger the assembly of platelet-shaped particles to replicate the hierarchical structure of nacre. Control over this technique allowed structural customization at different length-scales: local orientation of the platelets, ice crystal long range order, and the control if the interfaces between the platelets. This hierarchical process has set the ground for the creation of a new fully mineral nacre-like alumina. The local platelet self-assembly triggered by ice growth was investigated by Discrete Element Modelling which provided new insight into the dynamic phenomenon responsible for the particles alignment. Synchrotron X-ray tomography was used to validated the model results. The different architecture observed in the final samples are not the result of a percolation threshold, as one could expect, but is instead a consequence of the delicate balance between pushing and engulfment at the solidification front. The local alignment of platelets can be beneficial for the functional and structural characteristics of composites and relevant aspects for two potential applications were investigated: the thermal properties of the hexagonal boron nitride/silicon rubber composites and the mechanical properties of macroporous alumina. Further adaptation of the process allowed for long range ordering of the ice crystals (up to the centimeter scale). Different tools have also been developed in order to characterize the response of composites as a function of the architecture at the level of the macropores and particle organisation. Once those two levels of alignment were achieved, the addition of a glassy phase and nanoparticles to the grain boundaries of the platelets introduces, just like in nacre, interfaces capable of deflect and even stopping crack propagation.

To study the functions of glycoconjugates in biological systems reliable and efficient protocols for glycoconjugate synthesis are needed. To reach this goal we have developed methods for solid-phase synthesis of glycoconjugates that can be monitored with gel-phase 19F spectroscopy using fluorinated linkers, building blocks, and protecting groups. We have developed a new fluorine containing linker suitable for solid-phase synthesis of glycoconjugates. The linker was more acid-labile than similar linkers in order to enable cleavage under mild conditions of the target compound from the linker resin.  A carbamate-based strategy has been applied to attach a spacer carrying an amino group to a fluorinated Wang linker for synthesis of amino-functionalized glycoconjugates using thioglycoside donors with fluorinated protective groups. Cleavage from the solid support was performed with trifluoroacetic acid and subsequent protecting group removal gave the target compound. The terminal amine was conjugated with didecyl squarate and this derivative can be attached to various proteins and solid surfaces carrying primary or secondary amines. To evaluate this methodology we have immobilized glycoconjugates in amino-functionalized microtiter plates and successfully probed them with lectin. In addition, a novel fluorine containing protecting group has been designed, synthesized and evaluated. The protecting group was used for protection of the unreactive 4-OH in a galactose building block that was applied in the synthesis of 6-aminohexyl galabioside and was removed with TBAF in THF. Adenovirus serotype 8 (Ad8), Ad19, and Ad37 cause the severe ocular infection, epidemic keratoconjunctivities (EKC). During infection, the adenoviruses interact with sialic acid containing glycoconjugates on the epithelial cells via fiber structures extending from the viral particles. The virus particle most likely binds to the host cell in a multivalent way by simultaneously using multiple fiber proteins and binding sites. Multivalent sialic acid containing conjugates could efficiently inhibit Ad37 cell attachment and subsequent infection of human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells. Three compact tri- and tetravalent sialic acid conjugates were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of adenoviral host cell attachment and subsequent infection and all conjugates were potent as anti-adenoviral agents. The conjugates can readily be synthesized from accessible starting materials. A crystal structure of the Ad37 fiber knob protein and the trivalent sialic acid conjugate showed that the three binding sites were all occupied by one sialic acid residue each.

Um einen besseren Zugang zum Verständnis struktureller Eigenschaften von den ternären Verbindungen des Systems Yb–Pd–Ga zu bekommen, wurden zunächst die Ordnungs- und Unordnungsbeziehungen sowie die chemische Bindung in den Kristallstrukturen binärer Pd–Ga- bzw. Yb–Ga-Verbindungen analysiert. Im Rahmen der phasenanalytischen Untersuchungen des binären Systems Yb–Ga konnte eine neue Verbindung charakterisiert werden (Ytterbiumpentagallid). Für den galliumreichen Teil des ternären Phasendiagramms Yb–Pd–Ga wurde ein isothermer Schnitt bei 600 °C erstellt (&amp;gt; 50 At.-% Ga). Die Homogenitätsbereiche der untersuchten Verbindungen wurden metallographisch bzw. röntgenographisch bestimmt. Die Kristallstrukturen wurden aus Röntgen-Einkristalldaten bestimmt. In den Kristallstrukturen wurden drei unterschiedliche Arten von Unordnung beobachtet (Substitutionsunordnung, Symmetrie-Brechung, Positionsunordnung). Für eine Reihe von Verbindungen des Systems Yb–Pd–Ga wurde der elektronische Zustand von Yb bestimmt. Dies gelang mit Hilfe von Messungen der magnetischen Suszeptibilität bzw. mit der Röntgen-Absorptionsnahkantenspektroskopie.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Präparation strukturell geordneter Dünnschichtverbindungen der Seltenen Erden Ce und Dy mit den Übergangsmetallen Pd, Rh, und Ni sowie der Untersuchung ihrer kristallinen und elektronischen Struktur. Die Präparation der typischerweise 10 nm starken Dünnschichten erfolgte in-situ durch Aufdampfen der Seltenerdmetalle auf einkristalline Übergangsmetallsubstrate oder alternativ durch Kodeposition der Konstituenten auf einen W(110)-Einkristall, jeweils gefolgt durch kurzzeitiges Tempern bei 400 - 1000 °C zur Einstellung der kristallinen Ordnung. Letztere wurde mittels niederenergetischer Elektronenbeugung (LEED) analysiert und auf der Grundlage einer einfachen kinematischen Theorie ausgewertet. Die Untersuchungen der elektronischen Struktur erfolgten mittels winkelaufgelöster Photoemission (ARPES), teilweise unter Nutzung von Synchrotronstrahlung von BESSY. Schwerpunkt bildete dabei das Verhalten der Valenzbänder als Funktion von Struktur und Zusammensetzung der Dünnschichten unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Oberflächenphänomenen. Gemessene Energiedispersionen wurden mit Ergebnissen eigens dafür durchgeführter LDA-LCAO-Rechnungen verglichen und beobachtete Energieverschiebungen der Bandschwerpunkte um z.T. mehr als 1 eV im Rahmen eines einfachen Modells auf unvollständige Abschirmung der Photoemissionsendzustände zurückgeführt. / The present thesis deals with preparation of structurally ordered thin-film compounds of the rare-earths Ce and Dy with the transition metals Pd, Rh, and Ni as well as with investigations of their crystalline and electronic structures. Typically 10nm-thick films were grown in-situ by deposition of the rare-earth metals onto single crystalline transition-metal substrates or alternatively by codeposition of both constituents onto a W(110) single crystal. In both cases deposition was followed by short-term annealing at temperatures of 400 - 1000 °C to achieve crystalline order. The latter was analyzed by means of low-energy electron-diffraction (LEED) and evaluated on the basis of a simple kinematic theory. The electronic structure was investigated by means of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), partially exploiting synchrotron radiation from BESSY. The studies concentrate mainly on the behavior of the valence bands as a function of structure and composition of the thin films, particularly under consideration of surface phenomena. Measured energy dispersions were compared with results of LDA-LCAO calculations performed in the framework of this thesis. Observed shifts of the energy bands by up to 1 eV are attributed in the light of a simple model to incomplete screening of the photoemission final states.

Es werden neue Erkenntnisse über Borphosphat und Borophosphate der Haupt- und Nebengruppenmetalle vorgestellt. Neben Hydrothermalsynthesen und Feststoffreationen, die üblicherweise zur Synthese von Borophosphaten angewendet werden, haben insbesondere die solvothermalen Experimente mit Alkoholen bzw. Alkohol-Wasser-Mischungen zu neuen Ergebnissen geführt. Es wurden neue Borophosphate und Borat-Phosphate in den Systemen MxOy–B2O3–P2O5(–H2O) (M = K+, Rb+, Mg2+, Sc3+, Pr3+, Sm3+, In3+) dargestellt, weitere Verbindungen enthalten neben Mg2+ weitere Kationen der Haupt- und Nebengruppenmetalle (Ca, Sr, Ba, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn). Darüberhinaus gelang die Darstellung bislang unbekannter Scandium- und Lanthanphosphate(III) sowie von sauren Alkalimetall-Scandiumphosphaten(V). Aus Synthesen in Gegenwart von Ethylendiamin und Diazabizyklooktan wurden ferner zwei neue templatierte Scandiumphosphate mit porösen Gerüststrukturen erhalten. Die Kristallstrukturen aller Verbindungem wurden rötgenographisch anhand von Einkristallaufnahmen oder Pulverdaten aufgeklärt. Die Charakterisierung der Präparate erfolgte mit Röntgenpulverdiffraktometrie, EDX- und Elementaranalysen sowie durch Schwingungsspektroskopie und thermische Stabilitätsuntersuchungen. Zur Klassifizierung von (Metallo)borophosphaten wird eine Struktursystematik vorgeschlagen, welche Borophosphate und Metalloborophosphate entsprechend ihrer anionischen Teilstrukturen hierarchisch klassifiziert und in Analogie zur Terminologie der Silikate (nach Liebau) beschreibt. In Anlehnung an bestehende Konzepte für Boratminerale geht das Klassifizierungsschema dabei von einfachen Oligomeren aus. In einer struktursystematischen Übersicht wurden alle bis dato bekannten (Metallo)Borophosphate hierarchisch klassifiziert und sind in einer Übersicht vorgestellt. Beobachtete Verknüpfungsregeln und der Einfluss der Zusammensetzung B:P auf die Dimensionalität und die Verknüpfungsmuster der anionischen Teilstruktur werden diskutiert.
