Abstract

Conformational pliability in a series of bis (phenyl) acetones exhibits a linear correlation with the Hammett constants of the substituents. The nature and morphology of the organic nano- /microparticles shows a direct dependence on the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the functional groups.
