A core-shell structured magnetic layered organic-inorganic material involving 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) intercalated Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and magnesium ferrite (MgFe{sub 2}O{sub 4}) is assembled by a coprecipitation method. The powder X-ray diffraction results show the coexistence of the clear but weak diffractions of MgFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} and ordered relatively stronger reflections of 5-ASA intercalated LDHs. The TEM image of magnetic 5-ASA intercalated LDHs reveals that the LDHs layer covers the MgFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} particles or their aggregates with particle size of 50-80 nm. The vibration sample magnetization (VSM) measurements exhibit the increase in saturation magnetization of magnetic 5-ASA intercalated LDHs samples with increasing amount of magnetic core. The XPS analyses account for a majority of Zn, Al and O atoms on the surface of magnetic particles. It is suggested that the magnetic core MgFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} was coated with LDHs layer probably through Zn-O-Mg and Al-O-Mg linkages, and a core-shell structured model is tentatively proposed.
