Abstract:
The design and synthesis of a new cross-linkable amphiphile is reported. Solutions of the amphiphile in a toluene/water mixture form reverse micelles as indicated by dynamic light scattering and NMR spectroscopy. As indicated by dynamic light scattering, TEM, and NMR spectroscopy data, these reverse micelles can be cross-linked without drastically changing the radius of the reverse micelles. Mixed reverse micelles are also characterized and cross-linked. The cross-linked reverse micelles are demonstrated to facilitate phase transfer and can be used to site isolate a catalyst.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
