Implementation and Application of Light Induced Orthogonal Ligation Protocols in Polymer Chemistry

The present thesis introduces the concept of orthogonal light induced ligation protocols demonstrating the generation as well as the modification of polymer architectures. The orthogonality is based either on two reaction paths of o-methyl benzaldehyde to introduce chemical selectivity - for the first time - in a photonic field or on the λ-orthogonal reaction principle featuring the wavelength dependent activation of o-methyl benzaldehyde and tetrazole.
