title: The synthesis of inorganic materials at the water-toluene interface.
abstract: The synthesis of thin films and nanocrystalline matter at the interface of two liquids is emerging as an important area in synthesis of inorganic materials. The advances in this area are reviewed to highlight potential uses of this method. The current understanding of the deposition process is discussed.
