Lucie Ducháčková Bipyridine N,N'-dioxides are organocatalysts, which are used as a chiral Lewis bases in enantioselective catalysis. The aim of this diploma thesis was systematic investigation of the proton affinities of bipyridine N,N'-dioxide derivatives. Further, the complexation properties and chiral recognition in the gas phase of bipyridine N,N'-dioxide derivatives were examined. Mass spectrometry complemented with infrared multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy and quantum-chemistry calculations using the density functional theory (DFT) were used as the main experimental methods. Bipyridine N,N'-dioxides are a new class of oxygen superbases with proton affinities larger than 1030 kJ/mol. Complexation properties and reactivities of their metal complexes are comparable to 2,2'-bipyridine.
