title: Selected-control synthesis of metal phosphonate nanoparticles and nanorods.
abstract: By surfactant-assisted methods, nanoscale Co(O3PC6H5).H2O species of different morphologies, namely, nanoparticles and nanorods, have been successfully synthesized and characterized. Upon removal of the organic part of the compound, peculiar Co2P2O7 porous nanorods formed.
