Januar 2009 Dekan: Prof. Dr. L. Wesemann 1. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. B. Speiser 2. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. L. Wesemann 3. Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. J. Pesek This doctoral thesis was carried at the Institut für Organische Chemie, Fakultät für Chemie und Pharmazie, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Bernd Speiser. Foremost, I am indebted to Prof. Dr. Bernd Speiser, my supervisor, for his support and excellent guidance during this research work. I thank him not only for providing me with the lab facilities and a perfect working environment but also for his confidence and almost unlimited freedom he has given me. I could not have learnt more about chemistry, scientific research and communication during the course of this work. I thank all my working group members for valuable discussions and their friendly nature. I would like to specially thank Dr. K. Ludwig, Dr. W.
