The thermal evolution of a crystalline organic-inorganic nanohybrid captopril intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) [Mg{sub 0.68}Al{sub 0.32}(OH){sub 2}] (C{sub 9}H{sub 13}NO{sub 3}S){sub 0.130}(CO{sub 3}){sub 0.030}.0.53H{sub 2}O obtained by coprecipitation method is studied based upon in situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction, in situ infrared and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectroscopy analysis. The results reveal that a metastable quasi-interstratified layered nanohybrid involving carbonate-LDH and reoriented less ordered captopril-LDH was firstly observed as captopril-LDH heat-treated between 140 and 230 deg. C. The major decomposition/combustion of interlayer organics occur between 270 and 550 deg. C. A schematic model on chemical and microstructural evolution of this particular drug-inorganic nanohybrid upon heating in air atmosphere is proposed.
