Diglycosylierte Heterocyclen als potentielle Selektinliganden

In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollten diglycosylierte Heterozyklen als Grundbausteine zur Darstellung eines Mimetikums des Tetrasaccharids Sialyl LewisX verwendet werden. Dabei standen die pharmakokinetische Stabilität sowie der möglichst einfache Zugang zu den Strukturen im Vordergrund. Außerdem sollte die nachträgliche Anbindung an eine ESL-1 Partialsequenz zum Aufbau von Glycopeptiden und deren Verknüpfung zu dendrimeren Strukturen möglich sein. rnIn einem ersten Ansatz sollten C,N-diglycosylierte Isoindolone bzw. Isochinolone aufgebaut werden. Es konnte anhand mehrerer Beispiele gezeigt werden, dass die elektrophile Cyclisierung von o-Alkinylbenzamiden mit Iod nicht die wie in der Literatur beschriebenen Lactame liefert, sondern ein Angriff des Carbonylsauerstoffs zu den entsprechenden Isobenzofuran-1(3H)-iminen bzw. 1H-Isochromen-1-iminen führt. Die Lactame können jedoch durch Reaktion der o-Alkinylbenzamide mit Tetrabutylammoniumfluorid erhalten werden.rnDie zweite Route führte durch 1,3-dipolare Cycloaddition zu 1,4 disubstituierten 1,2,3-Triazolen. Hier gelang der Aufbau eines vollständig deblockierten, mit einem Azid funktionalisierten Trisaccharid Analogons, welches durch enzymatische Sialylierung zum Sialyl LewisX Mimetikum verlängert wurde. Diese Struktur konnte in einer weiteren 1,3-dipolaren Cycloaddition mit einer ebenfalls synthetisierten, leicht abgewandelten Partialsequenz des ESL-1 zu einem Glycokonjugat umgesetzt werden. Des Weiteren gelang der Aufbau zweier teilweise deblockierter Tetrasaccharid Mimetika, wiederum durch enzymatische Elongation.rnAußerdem wurden Versuche unternommen di C-Glycoside durch samariumvermittelte Kupplung zu synthetisieren.rn

Anhydrous proton conducting polymer electrolytes based on polymeric ionic liquids

Imidazolium types of ionic liquids were immobilized by tethering it to acrylate backbone. These imidazolium salt containing acrylate monomers were polymerize at 70oC by free radical polymerization to give polymers poly(AcIm-n) with n being the side chain lenght. The chemical structure of the polymer electrolytes obtained by the described synthetic routes was investigated by NMR-spectroscopy. The polymers were doped with various amounts of H3PO4 and LiN(SO2CF3)2, to obtain poly(AcIm-n) x H3PO4 and poly(AcIm-2-Li) x LiN(SO2CF3)2. The TG curves show that the polymer electrolytes are thermally stable up to about 200◦C. DSC results indicates the softening effect of the length of the spacers (n) as well as phosphoric acid. The proton conductivity of the samples increase with x and reaches to 10-2 Scm-1 at 120oC for both poly(AcIm-2)2H3PO4 and poly(AcIm-6)2H3PO4. It was observed that the lithium ion conductivity of the poly(AcIm-2-Li) x LiN(SO2CF3)2 increases with blends (x) up to certain composition and then leveled off independently from blend content. The conductivity reaches to about 10-5 S cm-1 at 30oC and 10-3 at 100oC for poly(AcIm-2-Li) x LiN(SO2CF3)2 where x is 10. The phosphate and phosphoric acid functionality in the resulting polymers, poly(AcIm-n) x H3PO4, undergoes condensation leading to the formation of cross-linked materials at elevated temperature which may improve the mechanical properties to be used as membrane materials in fuel cells. High resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to obtain information about hydrogen bonding in solids. The low Tg enhances molecular mobility and this leads to better resolved resonances in both the backbone region and side chain region. The mobile and immobile protons can be distinguished by comparing 1H MAS and 1H-DQF NMR spectra. The interaction of the protons which may contribute to the conductivity is observed from the 2D double quantum correlation (DQC) spectra.

Radiation-induced defects in calcium fluoride and their influence on material properties under 193 nm laser irradiation

Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is one of the key lens materials in deep-ultraviolet microlithography because of its transparency at 193 nm and its nearly perfect optical isotropy. Its physical and chemical properties make it applicable for lens fabrication. The key feature of CaF2 is its extreme laser stability. rnAfter exposing CaF2 to 193 nm laser irradiation at high fluences, a loss in optical performance is observed, which is related to radiation-induced defect structures in the material. The initial rapid damage process is well understood as the formation of radiation-induced point defects, however, after a long irradiation time of up to 2 months, permanent damage of the crystals is observed. Based on experimental results, these permanent radiation-induced defect structures are identified as metallic Ca colloids.rnThe properties of point defects in CaF2 and their stabilization in the crystal bulk are calculated with density functional theory (DFT). Because the stabilization of the point defects and the formation of metallic Ca colloids are diffusion-driven processes, the diffusion coefficients for the vacancy (F center) and the interstitial (H center) in CaF2 are determined with the nudged elastic band method. The optical properties of Ca colloids in CaF2 are obtained from Mie-theory, and their formation energy is determined.rnBased on experimental observations and the theoretical description of radiation-induced point defects and defect structures, a diffusion-based model for laser-induced material damage in CaF2 is proposed, which also includes a mechanism for annealing of laser damage. rn
