    Designing covalent organic framework‐based light‐driven microswimmers toward therapeutic applications
    (2023) Sridhar, Varun; Yildiz, Erdost; Rodríguez‐Camargo, Andrés; Lyu, Xianglong; Yao, Liang; Wrede, Paul; Aghakhani, Amirreza; Akolpoglu, Birgul M.; Podjaski, Filip; Lotsch, Bettina V.; Sitti, Metin
    While micromachines with tailored functionalities enable therapeutic applications in biological environments, their controlled motion and targeted drug delivery in biological media require sophisticated designs for practical applications. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), a new generation of crystalline and nanoporous polymers, offer new perspectives for light‐driven microswimmers in heterogeneous biological environments including intraocular fluids, thus setting the stage for biomedical applications such as retinal drug delivery. Two different types of COFs, uniformly spherical TABP‐PDA‐COF sub‐micrometer particles and texturally nanoporous, micrometer‐sized TpAzo‐COF particles are described and compared as light‐driven microrobots. They can be used as highly efficient visible‐light‐driven drug carriers in aqueous ionic and cellular media. Their absorption ranging down to red light enables phototaxis even in deeper and viscous biological media, while the organic nature of COFs ensures their biocompatibility. Their inherently porous structures with ≈2.6  and ≈3.4 nm pores, and large surface areas allow for targeted and efficient drug loading even for insoluble drugs, which can be released on demand. Additionally, indocyanine green (ICG) dye loading in the pores enables photoacoustic imaging, optical coherence tomography, and hyperthermia in operando conditions. This real‐time visualization of the drug‐loaded COF microswimmers enables unique insights into the action of photoactive porous drug carriers for therapeutic applications.

    Counterion effects on the mesomorphic and electrochemical properties of guanidinium salts
    (2024) Ebert, Max; Lange, Alyna; Müller, Michael; Wuckert, Eugen; Gießelmann, Frank; Klamroth, Tillmann; Zens, Anna; Taubert, Andreas; Laschat, Sabine
    Ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) combine the ion mobility of ionic liquids with the order and self-assembly of thermotropic mesophases. To understand the role of the anion in ILCs, wedge-shaped arylguanidinium salts with tetradecyloxy side chains were chosen as benchmark systems and their liquid crystalline self-assembly in the bulk phase as well as their electrochemical behavior in solution were studied depending on the anion. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (WAXS, SAXS) experiments revealed that for spherical anions, the phase width of the hexagonal columnar mesophase increased with the anion size, while for non-spherical anions, the trends were less clear cut. Depending on the anion, the ILCs showed different stability towards electrochemical oxidation and reduction with the most stable being the PF6 based compound. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest a possible contribution of the guanidinium cation to the oxidation processes.

    Confirmation of siderazot, Fe3N1.33, the only terrestrial nitride mineral
    (2021) Bette, Sebastian; Theye, Thomas; Bernhardt, Heinz-Jürgen; Clark, William P.; Niewa, Rainer
    Siderazot, the only terrestrial nitride mineral, was reported only once in 1876 to occur as coating on volcanic rocks in a fumarolic environment from Mt. Etna and, to date, has been neither confirmed nor structurally characterized. We have studied the holotype sample from the Natural History Museum, London, UK, originally collected by O. Silvestri in 1874, and present siderazot with epsilon-Fe3N-type crystal structure and composition of Fe3N1.33(7) according to crystal structure Rietveld refinements, in good agreement with electron microprobe analyses. Crystal structure data, chemical composition, and Raman and reflectance measurements are reported. Possible formation conditions are derived from composition and phase stability data according to synthetic samples.

    Highly active cooperative Lewis acid : ammonium salt catalyst for the enantioselective hydroboration of ketones
    (2021) Titze, Marvin; Heitkämper, Juliane; Junge, Thorsten; Kästner, Johannes; Peters, René
    Enantiopure secondary alcohols are fundamental high‐value synthetic building blocks. One of the most attractive ways to get access to this compound class is the catalytic hydroboration. We describe a new concept for this reaction type that allowed for exceptional catalytic turnover numbers (up to 15 400), which were increased by around 1.5-3 orders of magnitude compared to the most active catalysts previously reported. In our concept an aprotic ammonium halide moiety cooperates with an oxophilic Lewis acid within the same catalyst molecule. Control experiments reveal that both catalytic centers are essential for the observed activity. Kinetic, spectroscopic and computational studies show that the hydride transfer is rate limiting and proceeds via a concerted mechanism, in which hydride at Boron is continuously displaced by iodide, reminiscent to an SN2 reaction. The catalyst, which is accessible in high yields in few steps, was found to be stable during catalysis, readily recyclable and could be reused 10 times still efficiently working.

    Stereoretentive regio‐ und enantioselektive Allylierung von Isoxazolinonen per planar chiralem Palladacyclus‐Katalysator
    (2022) Yu, Xin; Hu, Lingfei; Frey, Wolfgang; Lu, Gang; Peters, René
    Die katalytische allylische Substitution ist eines der wichtigsten Werkzeuge in der asymmetrischen Synthese zur enantioselektiven Bildung von C-C-Bindungen. Während in vorigen Arbeiten eine hohe Effizienz in Bezug auf Enantio- und Regiokontrolle unter Verwendung verschiedener Katalysatortypen erreicht wurde, besteht eine starke allgemeine Einschränkung in einer sehr ausgeprägten Präferenz für die Bildung von allylischen Substitutionsprodukten mit (E)-konfigurierten C=C-Doppelbindungen. Hier berichten wir, dass mit einem planar-chiralen Palladacyclus-Katalysator unter Verwendung von Isoxazolinonen und Allylimidaten als Substrate ein diastereospezifisches Reaktionsergebnis erzielt wird, wodurch die C=C-Doppelbindungsgeometrie der Allylsubstrate in den hoch enantiomerenangereicherten Produkten beibehalten wird. DFT-Rechnungen zeigen, dass die Reaktionen über einen SN2-Mechanismus und nicht über π-Allyl-Pd-Komplexe ablaufen. Entscheidend für die hohe Kontrolle ist die Stabilisierung des allylischen Fragments im SN2-Übergangszustand durch π-Wechselwirkungen mit den Phenylsubstituenten des Pentaphenylferrocen-Katalysatorkerns.

    Finite-temperature interplay of structural stability, chemical complexity, and elastic properties of bcc multicomponent alloys from ab initio trained machine-learning potentials
    (2021) Gubaev, Konstantin; Ikeda, Yuji; Tasnádi, Ferenc; Neugebauer, Jörg; Shapeev, Alexander V.; Grabowski, Blazej; Körmann, Fritz
    An active learning approach to train machine-learning interatomic potentials (moment tensor potentials) for multicomponent alloys to ab initio data is presented. Employing this approach, the disordered body-centered cubic (bcc) TiZrHfTax system with varying Ta concentration is investigated via molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show a strong interplay between elastic properties and the structural ω phase stability, strongly affecting the mechanical properties. Based on these insights we systematically screen composition space for regimes where elastic constants show little or no temperature dependence (elinvar effect).

    Methacrylate‐based polymer foams with controllable pore sizes and controllable polydispersities via foamed emulsion templating
    (2020) Dabrowski, Miriam Lucia; Stubenrauch, Cosima
    This study reports on a novel templating route, which uses foamed emulsions as templates for porous polymers. The concept is based on the generation of a monomer‐in‐water emulsion, which is subsequently foamed via microfluidics. The monomer of choice is 1,4‐butanediol dimethacrylate (1,4‐BDDMA). After polymerization of the foamed emulsion, one obtains open‐cell polymer foams with porous pore walls. Foamed emulsions and polymer foams are generated. It is shown that foamed emulsion templating in combination with microfluidics is well‐suited to synthesize 1) monodisperse poly(1,4‐BBDMA) foams with controllable pore sizes and 2) their polydisperse counterparts with controllable polydispersities. Monodisperse templates with different bubble sizes and thus polymer foams with different pore sizes ranging from about 100-400 μm in diameter are synthesized. Microfluidics is also used for the generation of polydisperse poly(1,4‐BDDMA) foams with polydispersities between 18% and 27% but the same mean pore sizes as the monodisperse ones, i.e., we have access to polymer foams that only differ in their polydispersity.

    Molecular dynamics simulations of screw dislocation mobility in bcc Nb
    (2021) Zotov, Nikolay; Grabowski, Blazej
    The screw dislocation mobility in bcc Nb has been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at different strain rates and temperatures using an embedded-atom method (EAM) potential. Static properties of the screw dislocation, as determined with the EAM potential, are in agreement with previous density-functional-theory calculations. The elementary slip plane of the screw dislocation remains (110) for all studied strain rates (in the range 6.3 × 107-6.3 × 109 s-1) and temperatures (5 to 550 K). However, the consecutive cross-slip on different symmetry-equivalent (110) planes leads to an effective glide on (112) planes. It is demonstrated that the screw dislocation trajectories, velocities and waviness of the screw dislocation depend on the crystallographic indices, (110) or (112), of the maximum resolved shear stress plane. The waiting time for the start of the screw dislocation motion increases exponentially with decreasing strain rate, substantiating the necessity to apply in future accelerated MD techniques in order to compare with macroscopic stress-strain experiments.
