Cu2+ ions as a paramagnetic probe to study the surface chemical modification process of layered double hydroxides and hydroxide salts with nitrate and carboxylate anions

A layered zinc hydroxide nitrate (Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2.2H2O) and a layered double hydroxide (Zn/Al-NO3) were synthesized by coprecipitation and doped with different amounts of Cu2+ (0.2, 1, and 10 mol%), as paramagnetic probe. Although the literature reports that the nitrate ion is free (with D3h symmetry) between the layers of these two structures, the FTIR spectra of two zinc hydroxide nitrate samples show the C2v symmetry for the nitrate ion, whereas the g ||/A || value in the EPR spectra of Cu2+ is high. This fact suggests bonding of some nitrate ions to the layers of the zinc hydroxide nitrate. The zinc hydroxide nitrate was used as matrix in the intercalation reaction with benzoate, o-chlorobenzoate, and o-iodobenzoate ions. FTIR spectra confirm the ionic exchange reaction and the EPR spectroscopy reveals bonding of the organic ions to the inorganic layers of the zinc hydroxide nitrate, while the layered double hydroxides show only exchange reactions.     

Accommodating unwelcome guests in inorganic layered hosts: inclusion of chloranil in a layered double hydroxide

The host-guest chemistry of most inorganic layered solids is limited to ion-exchange reactions. The guest species are either cations or anions to compensate for the charge deficit, either positive or negative, of the inorganic layers. Here, we outline a strategy to include neutral molecules like ortho- and para-chloranil, that are known to be good acceptors in donor-acceptor or charge-transfer complexes, within the galleries of a layered solid. We have succeeded in including neutral ortho- and para-chloranil molecules within the galleries of an Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) by using charge-transfer interactions with preintercalated p-aminobenzoate ions as the driving force. The p-aminobenzoate ions are introduced in the Mg-Al LDH via ion exchange. The intercalated LDH can adsorb ortho- and para-chloranil from chloroform solutions by forming charge-transfer complexes with the p-aminobenzoate anions present in the galleries. We use X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations to establish the nature of interactions and arrangement of the charge-transfer complex within the galleries of the layered double hydroxide.     

Immobilization of anionic iron(III) porphyrins into ordered macroporous layered double hydroxides and investigation of catalytic activity in oxidation reactions

The first generation anionic iron(III) porphyrin [Fe(TSPP)] and the second generation anionic complexes [Fe(TDFSPP)], [Fe(TCFSPP)], and [Fe(TDCSPP)] were immobilized into three-dimensionally macroporous layered double hydroxide (3DM-LDH), using the direct reconstruction of 3DM-LDH from macroporous mixed oxides MOX or the anionic exchange on DDS intercalated 3DM-LDH. The macroporous layered double hydroxides were obtained at the surface of nanometric polystyrene spheres, which were synthesized by an inverse opal method. Polystyrene was removed after calcination in oxidizing atmosphere, nanostructured mixed oxides (3DM-MOX) were obtained, which after reconstruction give origin to macroporous layered double hydroxide (3DM-LDH). Following metalloporphyrin immobilization, the resulting materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV–vis (glycerin mull) spectroscopy, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR/FTIR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Results revealed that the complexes are either immobilized at the surface of the macroporous layered double hydroxide or intercalated between the layers, displacing some dodecylsufate anions. The obtained materials were investigated as catalysts for oxidation reactions, to find out whether they function as cytochrome P-450 models.

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Modified Lithium‐Aluminum‐Layered Double Hydroxide Nanocomposites Prepared Using In‐situ Polymerization

Layered double hydroxides are a type of layered stacked compound, which can be intercalated with organic‐molecule modifiers. An ion‐exchange process for layered double hydroxide (LDH) was used to intercalate water‐soluble sulfanilic acid salt (SAS) and dimethyl 5‐sulfoisopthalate (DMSI) into lithium aluminum layered double hydroxides (LiAl LDHs). In this work, a hydrothermal process was used to modify LiAl LDHs, and the modified LiAl LDHs were treated with either SAS or DMSI through an ion‐exchange process and were then intercalated using bis‐hydroxyethylene terephthalate (BHET). The results indicate that the modified LiAl LDHs improved the interlayer compatibility between the PET and LiAl LDH layers; thus, enabling the oligomer molecules to more easily enter the gallery of the LiAl LDH layers so that polymer chains could be included between the LDH layers during polymerization of the matrix. The better barrier, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of these new types of PET nanocomposites are discussed.

Synthesis of arsenic sorbent by the reaction of magnesium hydroxide with aqueous iron(III) chloride solution

The reaction of magnesium hydroxide with a concentrated aqueous solution of iron(III) chloride yields a mixture of magnesium–iron layered double hydroxide and iron oxide–hydroxide in the akaganeite form. The content of these phases depends on the Mg/Fe atomic ratio in the starting reactant mixture. Iron oxide–hydroxide is the major reaction product at the Mg/Fe atomic ratio in the interval 1.5–1.75, and layered magnesium–iron layered double hydroxide, at Mg/Fe = 3–4. The ability of the synthesized products to take up As(III) from aqueous solutions was studied. These sorbents allow the arsenic concentration to be decreased from 3–5 mg L^–1 to values below MPC (0.01 mg L^–1).

Exfoliation and immobilization of anionic iron porphyrin in layered double hydroxides

Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) intercalated with glycinate anions was synthesized through co-precipitation and exfoliated in formamide and the single-layer suspension was reacted with an aqueous iron porphyrin (FeTDFSPP) solution. The new composite was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, UV-vis, FTIR, and electron paramagnetic spectroscopies and thermal analyses (simultaneous TG/DSC). The analyses demonstrated that glycinate anions continue to be intercalated and the anionic iron porphyrin is adsorbed at the surface of the layered double hydroxide crystals.     

Studies on the intercalation of naproxen into layered double hydroxide and its thermal decomposition by in situ FT-IR and in situ HT-XRD

Layered double hydroxides, novel anionic clay, meet the first requirement as inorganic matrices for encapsulating functional drugs or biomolecules with negative charge in aqueous media. In this study, naproxen has been intercalated into Mg-Al layered double hydroxide by the methods of ion exchange. The structure and composition of the intercalated material have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. A schematic model has been proposed. Furthermore, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, in situ high-temperature XRD, and thermogravimetry (TG) have been used to characterize the thermal decomposition of the hybrid material. It has been found that the thermal stability of the intercalated naproxen is significantly enhanced compared with the pure form before intercalation, which suggests that this drug-inorganic layered material may have prospective application as the basis of a novel drug delivery system.

Intercalations of mercaptocarboxylic acid and dithiodicarboxylic acid in Mg-Al layered double hydroxide and their adsorption properties for heavy metal ions were examined. During the intercalation of mercaptocarboxylic acids, mercapto group was oxidized, and the corresponding dithiodicarboxylic acids were intercalated in the interlayer space of Mg-Al layered double hydroxide. The intercalation compounds adsorbed mercury and silver ions effectively, whereas there was no adsorption of copper ion practically.     

Water Molecules in Hydrotalcite‐like Layered Double Hydroxides: Interplay between the Hydration of the Anions and the Metal Hydroxide Layer

Layered double hydroxides comprise positively charged metal hydroxide layers and intercalated anions. These materials are obtained from aqueous medium both in nature and in the laboratory. Consequently the layered double hydroxides include a considerable amount of water. The presented study was designed to determine the proportion of water associated with the hydration sphere of the anion as opposed to that of the metal hydroxide slab. Among the two differently bound water species observed in all layered double hydroxides, the weakly bound water is associated with the metal hydroxide layer and is lost at 100 °C, whereas the strongly bound water is in the hydration sphere of the anion and is lost at higher temperatures (100 °C ≤ T ≤ 250 °C). This is in contrast to the better known cationic clays, wherein all the intercalated water is generally found to be in the hydration sphere of the cations. Further the water molecules in layered double hydroxides also bond to each other, leading to the incorporation of water in excess of what is predicted by the Miyata formula (Miyata, 1975) based on crystal chemical considerations. The excess water is one of the reasons for the poor crystallinity of layered hydroxides.     

Automated solid‐phase extraction of phenolic acids using layered double hydroxide–alumina–polymer disks

The application of layered double hydroxide–Al₂O₃–polymer mixed‐matrix disks for solid‐phase extraction is reported for the first time. Al₂O₃ is embedded in a polymer matrix followed by an in situ metal‐exchange process to obtain a layered double hydroxide–Al₂O₃–polymer mixed‐matrix disk with excellent flow‐through properties. The extraction performance of the prepared disks is evaluated as a proof of concept for the automated extraction using sequential injection analysis of organic acids (p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid) following an anion‐exchange mechanism. After the solid‐phase extraction, phenolic acids were quantified by reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography with diode‐array detection using a core–shell silica–C18 stationary phase and isocratic elution (acetonitrile/0.5% acetic acid in pure water, 5:95, v/v). High sensitivity and reproducibility were obtained with limits of detection in the range of 0.12–0.25 μg/L (sample volume, 4 mL), and relative standard deviations between 2.9 and 3.4% (10 μg/L, n = 6). Enrichment factors of 34–39 were obtained. Layered double hydroxide–Al₂O₃–polymer mixed‐matrix disks had an average lifetime of 50 extractions. Analyte recoveries ranged from 93 to 96% for grape juice and nonalcoholic beer samples.     

Insertion of iodine in a functionalized inorganic layered solid

The galleries of a Mg-Al layered double hydroxide have been functionalized by intercalation of (carboxymethyl)-beta-cyclodextrin cavities. The functionalized inorganic solid can adsorb iodine molecules from vapor as well as nonaqueous and aqueous solutions. The adsorbed iodine complexes with the grafted cyclodextrin cavities, disassociating heterolytically to form polyiodide species. Electronic and Raman spectra provide conclusive evidence for the existence of linear symmetric triodide, I(3)(-), and pentaiodide, I(5)(-), species within the cyclodextrin cavities confined in the layered double hydroxide.     

Structure and thermal decomposition of sulfated β-cyclodextrin intercalated in a layered double hydroxide

The thermal stability of the intercalated sulfated β-cyclodextrin is significantly enhanced compared with the pure form before intercalation.

Inclusion of poly-aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules in a functionalized layered double hydroxide

The internal surface of an Mg-Al layered double hydroxide has been functionalized by anchoring carboxy-methyl derivatized β-cyclodextrin cavities to the gallery walls. Neutral polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules have been included within the functionalized solid by driving the hydrophobic aromatic molecules from a polar solvent into the less polar interior of the anchored cyclodextrin cavities by a partitioning process. The optical (absorption and emission) properties of the PAH molecules included within the functionalized Mg-Al layered double hydroxide solid are similar to that of dilute solutions of the PAH in non-polar solvents. The unique feature of these hybrid materials is that they are thermally stable over a wide temperature range with their emission properties practically unaltered. Dedicated to Prof J Gopalakrishnan on his 62nd birthday.
