Intercalation of the layered solid acid HCa/sub 2/Nb/sub 3/O/sub 10/ by organic amines

Journal Article · · Mater. Res. Bull.; (United States)
Layered compounds of formula C/sub n/H/sub 2n+1/NH/sub 3/Ca/sub 2/Nb/sub 3/O/sub 10/ are formed by reaction of n-alkylamines with the solid acid HCa/sub 2/Nb/sub 3/O/sub 10/. Other organic bases such as pyridine can also be intercalated. The lattice constants of the new compounds have been determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The unit cells are tetragonal with a axes that are unchanged with variation of the intercalated amine. The c axes lengths (layer spacings) vary systematically with the hydrocarbon chain length of the alkylamine.
