Darstellung, Eigenschaften und Reaktivität phosphorreicher Ferrocenophane
(2022-05)
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein präparativer Zugang zu phosphorreichen Ferrocenophanen entwickelt, die Substituenten mit variierenden sterischen und elektronischen Eigenschaften tra-gen und die Reaktivität dieser gegenüber Elektrophilen untersucht.
Die Reaktivitätsuntersuchungen des als Modellverbindung ausgewählten Diphospha-[2]fer-rocenophans L6a gegenüber Elektrophilen haben gezeigt, dass sowohl ein als auch beide Phos-phoratome selektiv, durch stöchiometrische Kontrolle mit Monoboran oder unterschiedlichen ...

Moreover, specifically start-ups headed by women have played an important role in the economic development and it has been argued that gender-related issues, amongst others, play a significant role for the performance of a country or region. Against this background, this qualitative study explores desires, reluctances and constraints toward entrepreneurial activities of a comparably homogenous group ...

Structured interviews were conducted with selected actors of the supply chain. Actors at all levels of the supply chain proved to be highly committed and described their business relations as satisfying and trustful. Strong vertical and horizontal ...
