Fachbereich Chemie der Universität Dortmund 4´-Methylterpyridine, 1-Deazaadenine and 1-Deazapurine as Potential Artificial Nucleobases for Metal-Mediated Base Pairing Fabian-Alexander Polonius Dem Fachbereich Chemie der Universität Dortmund zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften vorgelegte Dissertation. Referent: Prof. Dr. Bernhard Lippert Korreferent: PD Andrea Erxleben Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 11/08/2006 In the time from August 2002 till August 2006 this work came into being at the Lehrstuhl für Anorganische Chemie III des Fachbereichs Chemie der Universität Dortmund. My appreciation and my thanksgiving belong to Dr. Jens Müller and Prof. Dr. Bernhard Lippert for taking care of my scientific advance, for the academic and human engagement, commitment and cooperation. I thank PD Dr. Andrea Erxleben for taking over the part of the second examiner. Further I thank greatly: • Dr. Gabriele Trötscher-Kaus to tear apart my thesis in record time (Do not worry, I put it back together! By the way, I owe you a dinner!), • the unique Dipl. Chem.
