Intercalation of organic and inorganic anions into layered double hydroxides

Abstract

A procedure for intercalating layered double hydroxides is described:power X-ray diffraction, i.r., and thermogravimmetric measurements confirm that for sebacic acid, toluene-p-sulphonic acid, and dodecyl sulphate intercalation takes place and results in gallery heights of 11.5,12.2, and 8.4 Å respectively.
