In the present overview, we describe the bases of intercalation of small molecules (cationic and polar neutral compounds) in DNA. We briefly describe the importance of DNA structure and principles of intercalation. Selected syntheses, possibilities and applications are shown to exemplify the importance, drawbacks and challenges in this pertinent, new, and exciting research area. Additionally, s...

-Intercalation complexes of a Hungarian kaolinite were prepared with hydrazine and potassium acetate. The thermal behavior and decomposition of the kaolinite-potassium acetate complex was studied by simultaneous TA-EGA, XRD, and FTIR methods. The intercalation complex is stable up to 300"C, and decomposition takes place in two stages after melting of potassium acetate intercalated in the interl...

Orientation dependencies of FeK, BrK EXAFS and XANES spectra have been measured for intercalated compounds of the composition CZF, *yA (X = 1 . A= Brz, BrF3, FeBr3, Fe(AA)3, FeCl3) synthesized by dityusion from solutions. An approach has been developed which allows determination of the ranges of the orientation angles of T-shaped BrF3 molecules tiom XANES spectra. The values of the orientation ...
