Preparation and properties of bis(terpyridyl)oligofluorenes
Hrma, Martin ; Svoboda, Jan (advisor) ; Drahoňovský, Dušan (referee)
This bachelors thesis deals with the synthesis of bis(terpyridyl)oligofluorenes, that are suitable for the preparation of supramolecular polymers. The main aim was synthesis and characterisation of 7,7'-bis(terpyrid-4'-yl)-9,9,9',9'-tetrakis(6'-bromohexyl)-2,2'-bifluorene. As a starting substance was used commercially available 2-bromofluorene made by Sigma- Aldrich. In the preparation of the final ligand was used three reaction schemes, during the several steps used in the Suzuki coupling, or variations thereof.

Preparation and characterization of bis(terpyridyl)fluorene based polymers
Hrma, Martin ; Svoboda, Jan (advisor) ; Strachota, Adam (referee)
The diploma thesis presents the preparation of ,-bisterpyridinylfluorenes (unimers) containing fluorene unit in the central block either directly attached to terpyridine (tpy) end groups or via 1,4-phenylene or thiophene-2,5-diyl linker. Synthesized unimers were subsequently used for the preparation of metallo-supramolecular polymers with Zn2+ and Fe2+ ions. The prepared unimers were characterized by NMR, IR and HR-MS, their optical properties were investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Molecular weight distribution for the prepared Fe-polymers was determined by GPC. The number-average degree of polymerization equal to 7 for an equimolar ratio between unimer and Fe2+ in a diluted solution was determined for polymers composed of unimer with thiophene-2,5- diyl linker. By using the viscometric measurements the ongoing constitutional dynamics in solutions of metallo-supramolecular polymers was proven. The overstoichiometric amount of metal ions in solution resulted in equilibrium shortening of the polymer chains together with end-capping of terminal tpy ligands by Mt2+ ions. Unimer with thiophene-2,5-diyl linker exhibited unique properties involving significantly red-shifted absorption and emission maxima, as well as the different behavior during assembling...

Development of new syntheses of condensed aromatic compounds
Kaiser, Reinhard Peter
This work is divided into two parts that are focused on the synthesis and assessment of photophysical properties of two structurally related compounds: (i) 9,9'-spirobifluorenes (SBFs) and (ii) dispiroindeno[2,1-c]fluorenes (DS-IFs). (i) In the first part, a five-step synthetic approach to SBFs was developed and as the crucial step was used an intermolecular [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of symmetrically or unsymmetrically substituted diynols with alkynes catalyzed by Rh-complexes. Catalyst screening showed that Wilkinson's catalyst (RhCl(PPh3)3) had the highest efficiency in yielding 1,2,3,4-substituted fluorenols - the key intermediates. The fluorenols were then converted into SBFs bearing various electron-donating and -withdrawing groups, aromatic substituents, and -extended aromatic hydrocarbon moieties (PAHs). Altogether 19 different SBFs were prepared and their photophysical properties screened. The fluorescent emission maxima em were in the range of 315-389 nm with excellent quantum yields s (up to 1.00). As far as the substituent effect is concerned the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents on the SBF scaffold results in the red-shift of the emission maxima. (ii) In the second part, a similar synthetic strategy was applied for synthesis DS-IFs. In this instance was utilized again the...

Novel Electrochemical Biosensor for the Detection of DNA Damage Based on a Large-Surface Carbon Film Electrode
Jurečková, Zuzana ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Zima, Jiří (referee)
Presented Bachelor Thesis is focused on the development and utilization of a simple and inexpensive electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of DNA damage caused by chemical carcinogens. A large-surface carbon film electrode (ls-CFE), having several advantages, such as its fast preparation, a simple mechanical renewal of the electrode surface, a good reproducibility of measurements, an absence of problems connected with "electrode history", and simple chemical modification, was used for its preparation. The initial part of the work is devoted to the investigation of the composition of a carbon ink suspension, which was optimized and tested using a [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- redox system by cyclic voltammetry (CV), further to the optimization of the DNA biosensor (DNA/ls-CFE) preparation and to its characterization, which was performed using two electrochemical techniques - CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The second part of this Thesis deals with the application of the newly prepared DNA biosensor for the detection of DNA damage by model chemical carcinogens. The direct interaction of DNA with fluorene and 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) was investigated using CV and EIS at the DNA/ls-CFE. The obtained results confirmed that the interaction of DNA with fluorene and 2-AF causes DNA damage,...
