This method avoids the problem of persistent ionic contamination from residual phase-
transfer catalyst while retaining the versatility associated with the commonly used two-phase
Brust synthesis. MPCs having alkyl, diphenylacetylene, ether, amide, or ester functionalities
were prepared by this single-phase synthesis and characterized via 1H NMR, FT-IR, and
UV− vis absorption spectroscopy, TGA, STM, and TEM. Comparisons of products …
