Intercalates-Exciting Compounds for Solid-State Chemistry Studies

摘要

The incorporation of intercalates into lamellar inorganic lattices such as metal phosphonates(1,2),magnesium aluminum oxide(3),and montmorillonitic clays(4)has been widely studied over the past decade.Such highly specific interactions have found a range of applications in chemical sensing(5-7),catalysis(8,9),and flameproof coatings(10).Gibbsite,gamma-Al(OH)_3,one of the structural modifications of aluminium hydroxide,is itself a layered compound,and reaction with lithium chloride produces a layered double hydroxide,[LiAl_2(OH)_6]Cl centre dot H_2O.Fogg et al.(11-14)have reported selective ion-exchange intercalation of isomeric benzenedicarboxylate anions into lithium gibbsite chloride.
