Total Synthesis of Fijiolide A via an Atropselective Paracyclophane Formation

Christoph Heinz

The natural product fijiolide A is a secondary metabolite isolated from a marine-derived actinomycete of the genus Nocardiopsis. It displays inhibitory activity against TNF-Î±-induced activation of NFÎºB, an important transcription factor and a potential t ...

On-Surface Assembly and Reactions of Organic Molecules in Ultra-High Vacuum

Claudius Morchutt

This thesis comprises the study of two types of 2D materials, those stabilized by non-covalent and those by covalent interactions. They are synthesized and studied on well-defined metallic surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV). The self-assembly of terephtha ...

The Ligand Aspect Ratio as a Decisive Factor for the Self-Assembly of Coordination Cages

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Philip Pattison, Euro Solari, Konstantin Zhurov, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Giacomo Cecot, Matthew David Wise, Alba Finelli

It is possible to control the geometry and the composition of metallasupramolecular assemblies via the aspect ratio of their ligands. This point is demonstrated for a series of iron- and palladium-based coordination cages. Functionalized clathrochelate com ...

Functionalized Dinuclear Clathrochelates as Supramolecular Building Blocks

Mathieu Jérémie Marmier

This thesis details the synthesis and characterization of dinuclear clathrochelates functionalized with groups suitable for supramolecular applications. Their successful incorporation into self-assembled discrete and polymeric structures is related. These ...

Supramolecular gels based on boronate esters and imidazolyl donors

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Nicolas Luisier

Dative boron–nitrogen bonds can be used for the controlled assembly of boronate esters and N-donor ligands. So far, most investigations have focused on crystalline assemblies. In contrast, there are very few reports about soft materials based on dative B–N ...

Two-dimensional metal-organic networks as templates for the self-assembly of atom and cluster arrays

Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

This thesis presents a study of the use of two-dimensional metal-organic systems as templates for the organization of metal atoms and clusters on surfaces. We start with a systematic characterization of the metal-organic porous networks formed on Cu(111) b ...
