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