The intercalation of cetirizine into two types of layered double hydroxides, Zn/Al and Mg/Al, has been investigated by the ion exchange method to form CTZAN and CTMAN nanocomposites, respectively. The basal spacing of the nanocomposites were expanded to 31.9 Å for CTZAN and 31.2 Å for CTMAN, suggesting that cetirizine anion was intercalated into Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and arranged in ...

The luminescent complex [(ThiaSO2)2(MnII)4F]− (ThiaSO2 = p-tert-butylsulfonylcalixarene) was introduced between layered double hydroxides. material displays a very high sensitivity to its luminescence emission with oxygen.

The layered trirutile phases HMWO6 (M = Nb, Ta) and the layered perovskite H2W2O7 (synthesized by acid leaching of Bi2W2O9) were exfoliated into nanoscale colloids by reaction with quaternary ammonium hydroxides.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), also known as anionic clays or hydrotalcite-like materials, are a large family of 2D materials constituted by positively charged sheets of hydroxides intercalated by negatively charged anions. In general, the hydrotalcite structures are very robust, with a wide range of possible compositions and so with easily tunable functional properties. In fact, the most ap...
