The Synthesis of Chemically Well-defined and Biocompatible Oligopyrroles for Tissue Engineering Applications

Abstract

The studies described in this Thesis involve the development of syntheses of a wide range of chemically well-defined oligopyrroles for tissue engineering applications. In particular, the outcomes of a detailed investigation into the preparation of certain types of such oligopyrroles are presented using Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions as a means for linking pyrrole-based building blocks.
