Resumen o descripción

This thesis was conducted at the Centro de Investigación en Química Aplicada (CIQA, Mexico), and the Laboratory of Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry (IOMC), Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSUJ, Germany), both institutions are gratefully acknowledged.

This project would not have been possible without the support of many people. I am foremost grateful to my supervisors: Dr. Carlos Guerrero Sánchez for his outstanding ideas, guides, help, and prolific supervision during this project, and Dr. Ramiro Guerrero Santos for his constructive comments and vision to strive toward excellent research. I had a great time during this project. Thank you for all the confidence you entrusted me with.

I also would like to acknowledge the Department of Macromolecular Chemistry and Nanomaterials at CIQA, a special thanks to M.S. Hortensia Maldonado T., and B.S. Judith Cabello R., for their helpful assistance during the beginning of this project. Thanks also to the people who helped me with all the administration work at the Coordinación de Posgrado at CIQA, including Dr. Leticia Larios, M.S. Aída E. García, and Nancy Espinosa.

I thank Prof. Dr. Ulrich S. Schubert and his group for giving me the opportunity to do part of my PhD thesis at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSUJ), Germany. It was a special pleasure for me to work and collaborate in the group.

I am also grateful to my committee: Dr. Dámaso Navarro, Dr. Ramón Díaz, and Dr. Ricardo Acosta for fruitful discussions, valuable suggestions, and expert advice to enrich this work. I hope I have learned and applied several of your teachings here and in future projects.

Moreover, I am also grateful to the always supportive staff at CIQA and FSUJ. Special thanks to Dr. Jesus Lara and Steffi Stumpf for their assistance with SEM analysis, Carolin Kellner for cytotoxicity studies, Renzo Paulus for his assistance with thermal

studies, Sandra Köhn for EA measurements, Katja Gattung and Ulrike Kaiser for all the paperwork in Jena, Dr. Grit Festag for SEC measurements, Dr. Johannes C. Brendel, Dr. Ivo Nischang for AUC measurements and great collaboration, and Dr. Jürgen Vitz for his kind support during my stay in Jena.

For the good times and collaboration, I also wish to thank my colleagues and friends at CIQA and FSUJ. A special thanks to Alicia de San Luis, Carolina Ventura, César Muñoz, Claude St. Thomas, Ilya Anufriev, Jens Ulbrich, Julien Alex, Luana Vieira, Marco De Jesus, Miguel Carrillo, Roberto Yañez, Paulina Lugo, Paul Klemm and to all who directly or indirectly have lent their hand in this venture. Thank you, muchas gracias, danke schön!

I am especially grateful to my family for providing me with unfailing support and continuous help throughout my years of study. This accomplishment would not have been possible without them. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to Melisa Trejo, her love, dedication, and encouragement have sustained and uplifted me to continue with this and our wonderful life project. Thank you!

And of course, I wish to express my gratitude for financial support to the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT) and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) through the research grant: Bi-nationally supervised Doctoral Degrees / Cotutelle.
