Preparation and Antibacterial Characteristics of Hinokitiol-intercalated Layered Double Hydroxides.

Ab initio Investigation of Layered Double Hydroxides with Intercalated Herbicides

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) or hydrotalcite-like compounds exist either as naturally occurring minerals or as synthesized materials by low-cost synthesis methods. LDHs consist of positively charged metal hydroxide layers having the composition [M1–x Mx(OH)2][Ax/m ·nH2O] where M and M are divalent and trivalent cations, respectively. The value of x is the molar fraction and can vary between...

Preparation and Structural Characterization of Alkaline Earth−Iron(III) Layered Double Hydroxides and their Acrylate-Intercalated Derivatives

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Interlayer Structure and Hydration Properties of Glycine Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxides

Interlayer structure, hydrogen-bond, hydration and swelling properties of glycine intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDHs-Gly) were investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The results show that the interlayer spacing dc increases as hydration level increases. The computed hydration energies reach the most negative values at low water contents and change rapidly over the range 1 ...

Interlayer Structures and Dynamics of Arsenate and Arsenite Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxides: A First Principles Study

In this study, by using first principles simulation techniques, we explored the basal spacings, interlayer structures, and dynamics of arsenite and arsenate intercalated Layered double hydroxides (LDHs). Our results confirm that the basal spacings of NO3-LDHs increase with layer charge densities. It is found that Arsenic (As) species can enter the gallery spaces of LDHs with a Mg/Al ratio of 2:...

Controllable Nanocage Structure Derived from Cyclodextrin-Intercalated Layered Double Hydroxides and Its Inclusion Properties for Dodecylbenzene

A novel nanocage structure derived from carboxymethyl-cyclodextrins (CMCDs) intercalated in layered double hydroxides (LDHs), whose gates can be controlled by the process of swelling/drying the CMCD-LDH, has been prepared. Furthermore, the extent of opening of this nanocage structure can be controlled by swelling in different solvents. Dodecylbenzene (DDB) as the guest molecule has been incorpo...
