- Structure-property relationships based on experimental as well as theoretical results will be elucidated. For this purpose different dipolar organometallic compounds were synthesized and characterized. The alteration of the donor and acceptor termini in mono- and dinuclear sesquifulvalene complexes results in spectroscopic and even structural modifications. The structural and 1H NMR spectroscopic changes correlate with the experimentally obtained first hyperpolarizability. The potent electron-donating (D) group [(CpFeCO)2(μ-CO)(μ-C=CH-)] is combined with different electron-accepting units (A), yielding the push-pull complexes [(CpFeCO) 2(μ-CO)(μ-C=CH-CH=A)]. The extent of electron derealization within the π-bridge connecting the donor D and the acceptor A can be monitored by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. A correlation between the 3J(Hβ-Hγ) coupling constants and the first hyperpolarizability is found, which very much resembles the dependence of the first hyperpolarizability on the bond length alternation. In order to elucidate the dependence of the NLO response on the conformation of triply branched NLOphores, a new series of dendritic D-π-A structures has been synthesized. A combined approach of experiments and computational predictions was applied both on the dendrimers and on the corresponding single-strand chromophores. These results demonstrate that theoretical calculations are able to reproduce experimental results and show the tendency of the effects due to structural changes.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- An extensive body of literature exists on the obstacles that have to be overcome in green power retailing. In this article, target group-specific marketing is evaluated as a strategy to increase the share of residential customers of green power. A sample of students in the city of Freiburg, Germany was interviewed in order to assess their awareness of environmental issues, their willingness to change to green power products, and to better understand individual hindrances in changing the power supplier. The analysis shows that students are highly positive towards green power products, but for several reasons difficult to reach in marketing campaigns. Aspects to be considered in addressing this consumer-group include the students' particular expectations towards green products, their living-conditions, price sensitivity, and their perception of the relative effort involved in changing the power provider.
