Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese von hochfunktionalisierten Acylphosphanoxiden und deren Anwendung als Photoinitiatoren. Neben der Funktionalisierung von Oberflächen und Polymeren durch das Aufbringen von photoaktiven Gruppen wurde insbesondere die Anwendung in der Emulsionspolymerisation getestet. BAPO BAPO BAPO BAPO BAPO FG FG FG FG FG Surface Polymer Abbildung 1: BAPO-funktionalisierte Oberflächen und Polymere. NaPH2 ist ein geeignetes Ausgangsmaterial für die Synthese von Acylphosphanoxiden. Das Hauptproblem bei der Verwendung von NaPH2 ist dessen Schwerlöslichkeit und seine aufwendige Synthese. Deshalb haben wir eine einfache Synthesemethode ausgehend von elementarem roten oder weissen Phosphor entwickelt. Hierbei werden der Phosphor und das Natrium in flüssigem Ammoniak bei Raumtemperatur zu einer Mischung aus [NaPH2(solv)x] und 2[NaNH2(solv)x] umgesetzt. Durch anschliessende Protonierung des NaNH2 wird das reine NaPH2 erhalten. Verwendet man für die Protonierung des Reaktionsgemisches zwei äquivalente tert-Butanol, erhält man neuartige NaPH2- Alkoxidcluster, die sich durch hervorragende Löslichkeiten auszeichnen und selbst in Kohlenwasserstoffen löslich sind. Aus Toluol bzw. 1,2-Dimethoxyethan (dme) t lassen sich zwei verschiedene Alkoxid-Cluster [Na13(PH2)(O Bu)12] P6 und t [Na12(PH2)(O Bu)12][Na(dme)3] P7 kristallisieren, deren strukturelle Charakterisierung durch eine Kombination aus Pulsed Field Spin Echo NMR, Festkörper-NMR und Kristallstrukuranalysen durchgeführt werden konnte. Zusätzliche Berechnungen untermauern diese Untersuchungen. Es handelt sich - um zwei alkoxidstabilisierte Natrium-Cluster, in deren Zentrum sich ein PH2 -ion befindet (siehe Abbildung 2). Die 13 (in Cluster 1) bzw. 12 (in Cluster 2) Natriumatome sind auf den 20 Ecken eines pentagonalen Dodekaeders dynamisch fehlgeordnet. Abbildung 2: Struktur des Clusters 1 und des Clusteranions 2. Mit diesem neuartigen Ausgangsmaterial der formalen Zusammensetzung t NaPH2 x 2NaO Bu war es möglich, ausgehend von funktionalisierten Arylfluoriden neuartige tertiäre Arylphosphane zu synthetisieren, die als Liganden oder für funktionelle Materialien interessant sind. Durch leicht modifizierte Reaktionsbedingungen lassen sich auch primäre und sekundäre Arylphosphane synthetisieren, die nach den litreaturbekannten Methoden mit Acylchlorid, Base und Wasserstoffperoxid zu den entsprechenden Acylphosphanoxiden umgesetzt werden können. Zur gezielten Darstellung von hochfunktionalisierten Acylphosphanoxiden konnten aus NaPH2 und Acylchloriden Natriumbis(acyl)phosphide dargestellt werden. Aus diesen wurden mit Elektrophilen, wie Alkylhalogeniden, Arylfluoriden, Epoxiden bzw. durch palladiumkatalysierte Kreuzkupplung mit Aryliodiden funktionalisierte Bis(acyl)phosphane (BAPs) synthetisiert. Diese BAPs können zu den entsprechenden funktionalisierten Bis(acyl)phosphanoxiden (BAPOs) mit Wasserstoffperoxid oxidiert werden. Durch Umpolung des Natriumbis(acyl)phosphides wurde auch eine neue Möglichkeit geschaffen BAPs mit nucleophilen Reagenzien, wie Grignardreagenzien darzustellen. Es war möglich, über 50 BAPOs mit verschiedensten Funktionellen Gruppen zu synthetisieren, die sich durch neuartige physikalische und chemische Eigenschaften auszeichnen (z.B. Löslichkeit in fluorierten Phasen, ionischen Flüssigkeiten, Wasser). Erstmals wurden die Kristallstrukturen von funktionalisierten BAPOs untersucht und verglichen. Die P–C(=O) -Bindungslängen sind mit zirka 1.9 Å sehr lang und verhalten sich direkt proportional zur Aktivität des Photoinitiators. Des Weiteren wurden photolytische und erstmals thermische Zersetzungsreaktionen der Acylphosphanoxide Irgacure 819 (BAPO) und Lucirin TPO (MAPO) untersucht. Für die photolytischen Zersetzungsreaktionen wurden Abfangreagenzien

[email protected] Chemical weapons are weapons that exploit the toxicity of chemicals to bring about death or harm. The toxic chemicals on which chemical weapons are based are known as chemical warfare agents. The elimination of this entire category of weapons is the aim of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction, also known as Chemical Weapons Convention or CWC, which was opened for signature in 1993 and entered into force in 1997. Administered and implemented by the Hague- based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the CWC is an international treaty that enjoys almost universal embracement, having been ratified or acceded by 193 States Parties. Importantly, the CWC poses a complete and absolute ban on chemical weapons, mandating State Parties to renounce “(a) to develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons, or transfer, directly or indirectly, chemical weapons to anyone; (b) to use chemical weapons; (c) to engage in any military preparations to use chemical weapons; (d) to assist, encourage or induce, in any way, anyone to engage in any activity prohibited to a State Party” under the Convention (CWC Article II, Paragraph 1) (1-3).

Revised 24 th May 2015. Published 4 th September 2015. Summary World War I was a conflict where chemical warfare was first used on a massive scale. The earliest chemical attack occurred on the Western Front in October 1914 in Neuve Chapelle, but its effects were so minimal that the Allies learned about it only after the war from German documents. The attack in the Bolimow area, carried out by the Germans against the Russian army with artillery shells containing gas T (xylyl and benzyl bromides), was therefore the first attack on a massive scale recorded on the victim side. The attack, which occurred after it, made it possible to obtain some tactical success, but without a strategic breakthrough. Some of the later German attacks on the Eastern Front where chlorine was used proved to be more effective, but despite many victims there was not any major strategic success achieved. The Russians did not take attempts to use chemical weapons in the World War I. Key words: respiratory irritants; irritant gases; chemical warfare agents; riot control agents; World War I INTRODUCTION comfort to acute airway and lung injury and even death.
