D. Villemin et al., A one step process for grafting organic pendants on alumina via the reaction of alumina and phosphonate under microwave irradiation, CHEM COMMUN, (20), 2001, pp. 2060-2061
Phosphonate esters react with gamma -alumina under microwave (MW) irradiati
on; this reaction is a simple preparative method to graft organic pendant g
roups onto the surface of alumina; the efficiency of the grafting was readi
ly checked by solid-state NMR techniques (P-31 and Al-27).
