%T DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTO-SENSITIZED PRECIPITONS AND STUDIES TOWARD THEIR USE AS LIGHT-ACTIVACTED, REVERSIBLE PHASE TAGS
%X This dissertation chronicles the discovery and development of an intermolecular photosensitized trans to cis isomerization protocol for bi-phenyl phenyl precipiton phase tags. The optimization of reaction and irradiation conditions, scale-up experiments and isomerization kinetics are presented. This class of precipiton can now be used as a dynamic reversible phase tag ideally suited for multi-step synthesis on multi-gram scale
