iiiI express my gratitude to Professor Dr. Christel Marian for her help to formulate
the subject of my thesis, exploration of which brought me a lot of intellectual excite-
ment. The collaboration with Professor Marian helped me to broaden my insights into
electronic spectroscopy and photophysics. I am grateful to Junior Professor Dr. J¨org
Tatchen for his support of my research. I would like to thank Dr. Timo
Fleig for his advice during the first part of my doctoral studies in Duesseldorf. I thank
Dr. Martin Kleinschmidt for help to interface the code written in C as a subroutine to
the VIBES program. Also, I am grateful to all experimentalists with whom I collabo-
rated: Professor Dr. Karl Kleinermanns, Priv. Doz. Dr. Klaus Schaper, Dr. Matthias
Busker, Dr. Michael Nispel and Dr. Thomas H¨ aber. I would like to thank all col-
leagues from the Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, and especially
to Dr. Susanne Salzmann, Dr. Stefan Knecht, Dr. Lasse Sørensen, Dr. Vidisha Rai-
Constapel, Kathleen Gollnisch, Dr. Stephan Raub, Karin Schuck and Klaus Eifert for
creating a friendly and creative atmosphere. I appreciate very much all help and con-
tinual support received from Professor Dr. Miljenko Peri´c and Professor Dr. Werner
Jakubetz.
