“…MSP-PLCP were prepared by employing the solvent-evaporation method (Yanyu et al., 2006 ; Maiti et al., 2007 ; Yue et al., 2010 ; Yue et al., 2010 ; Cai et al., 2012 ; Guo et al., 2014 ; Singh et al., 2014 ; Kassem et al., 2017 ; Jena et al., 2014 ; Cheng et al., 2015 ; Khurana et al., 2017 ). Briefly, weighed amounts of MSP and PLs were refluxed in a 100-ml rounded bottom flask containing tetrahydrofuran as reaction solvent at 60 °C for 2 h. Tetrahydrofuran was then evaporated off under vacuum at 40 °C.…”
