The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / The preparation of a series of conjugated cyclophanes is described. Molecular modelling studies were performed on the bis-coupled systems and the cyclophanes to investigate steric interactions between the constrained and unconstrained aromatic systems. A new catalytic protocol was discovered and developed for the palladium catalysed coupling of terminal alkynes to aryl-halides using zinc co-catalysts. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Chemistry, 1999
