Reaction of an aqueous slurry of an Mg{sub 2}Al-NO{sub 3} layered double hydroxide with a four-fold excess of Na[Eu(EDTA)] gives a material which analyses for Mg{sub 0.68}Al{sub 0.32}(OH){sub 2}[Eu(EDTA)]{sub 0.10}(CO{sub 3}){sub 0.11}.0.66H{sub 2}O. The interlayer spacing of the material is 13.8A, corresponding to a gallery height of 9.0A, which accords with the maximal dimensions (9-10A) of the anion in metal-EDTA complex salts as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Geometrical considerations show that the charge density on the layered double hydroxide layers is too high to be balanced by intercalation of [Eu(EDTA)]{sup -} alone, necessitating the co-intercalation of carbonate ions which have a much higher charge density.
