Intercalation of n-alkylamines into layered materials: a method for the recognition of isomorphism in semicrystalline compounds

Abstract

n-Alkylamines were intercalated into Ti2O3(H2AsO4)2·2H2O (TiOAs) and Zr2O3(HAsO4)·3H2O (ZrOAs) by exposing the solids to the amine vapour. The formulae of the intercalation compounds are Ti2O3(H2AsO4)2·1.7CnH2n + 1NH2·2H2O and Zr2O3(HAsO4)·0.6Cn H2n + 1 NH2·2H2O (n = 3–6), respectively. The intercalated amines form bimolecular layers in the interlayer space of the polyvalent metal arsenates. The changes in the basal spacing of the intercalation compounds as a function of the length of the alkyl chain were used for evaluation of the free area associated with each active centre in the arsenate layers: 11.8 (TiOAs) and 10.8 Å2 (ZrOAs). The comparison of these data with analogous data reported for n-alkylamine intercalation into other metal(IV) arsenates and metal(IV) phosphates resulted in the formulation of a procedure for the recognition of isomorphism in semicrystalline compounds.
