Intercalation of primary diamines in the lamellar niobate HNb/sub 3/O/sub 8/ X H/sub 2/O

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)
The intercalation of alkyl diamines in the protonic oxide HNb/sub 3/O/sub 8/ x H/sub 2/O is quantitative for the diamines H/sub 2/N-(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/-NH/sub 2/ with n ranging from 2 to 10. All the intercalated oxides (H/sub 3/N-(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/-NH/sub 3/)/sub 0.5/Nb/sub 3/O/sub 8/ x yH/sub 2/O are hydrated at room temperature; they can be easily and reversibly dehydrated to the oxides (H/sub 3/N-(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/-NH/sub 3/)/sub 0.5/Nb/sub 3/O/sub 8/. The structural behavior of those compounds is compared to that of the alkyldiammonium titanoniobates (H/sub 3/N-(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/-NH/sub 3/)/sub 0.5/TiNbO/sub 5/. An interpretation of their structural properties is given which takes into account of the tendency of amines to assume an orientation transverse to oxide layers, the conformation of the amine chains, and the tendency to form dense organic layers.
