IVVAcknowledgments
It has been a pleasure working with the faculty, staff and students at the Institute of
InorganicChemistryIduringmytenureasadoctoralstudent. MythanksgotoProfessor
Dr. Dr. Wolfgang Kl¨aui for the freedom I was given to pursue my research interests and
to Dr. Peter Kunz, my long-time advisor and friend for mentoring and advice. Thanks
also go to Prof. Dr. Christian Ganter for taking the time to evaluate this dissertation
as the co-referee.
Many thanks to my fellow (former) doctoral students Steffen Alfs, Melanie Bongartz,
Wilhelm Huber, Arndt Karschin, Dr. Monika Lindner, Mareike Meyer and Corinna
Wetzel, graduate student Anna Louisa Noffke, as well as Dr. Udo Beckmann, who made
thesometimestediousresearchalotoffunbyofferingtheirhelpandadviceandgenerally
creating a wonderful work environment.
Furthermore, I owe my thanks to the staff of the analytical services, Peter Behm
(NMR), Dr. Peter Tommes and Ralf Burgel¨ (mass spectrometry), Dietmar Frunzke
(IR spectroscopy), as well as to Dr. Stefanie Weidtkamp-Peters (confocal fluorescence
microscopy) from the Institute of Molecular Physical Chemistry, Patricia Bach (GPC
analysis) and Bernd Muller¨ (DLS) from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macro-
molecularChemistry,aswellasDenisD¨orr(flourescencespectroscopy)fromtheInstitute
of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry II. For experimental help I thank DAAD
exchange student Matthew Merriman, who spent two months in Germany working on
rhenium lactide conjugates.
Invaluable for all things concerning cell cultures and microbiology was the cooperation
with the Department of Pharmacological Chemistry: Prof. Dr. Matthias U. Kassack,
Dr. Alexandra Hamacher, Susanne K¨ogel and Daniel Esser.
And finally, without the constant encouragement, support and unshattering belief in me,
given selflessly by my family and friends, I would not be where I am today. You know
who you are. Thank you.
VIVII”The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me
what I thought, and attended to my answer. I am surprised, as well as
delighted, when this happens, it is such a rare use he would make of me, as
if he were acquainted with the tool.” - Henry David Thoreau
