and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard. The values
of chemical shifts d and coupling constants are expressed in

QP2010 GCMS was employed to record mass spectra. A
transmission electron microscope (JEOL JEM 2100 (200 kV))
was used to investigate the morphology of the materials. A
MEL-TEMP capillary melting point apparatus was used to
determine melting points and are uncorrected. XPS spectra were
recorded on a PHI 5000 Versa Prob II, FEI Inc. X-ray photo-
electron spectrometer. Magnetic behaviour of material was
scrutinized using a USA, Model 7407 Lake Shore Magnetom-
eter. All other chemicals were used without further purification,
which were received from local suppliers.

stirred for 24 h. Afterwards, the isolation of insoluble product
was achieved using an external bar magnet. Washing with
