Abstract: | The structure of intercalation complexes of aluminum hydroxide with lithium salts is investigated by X-ray diffractometry
and by21Al,7Li, and1H NMR. The lithium ions occupy vacant positions in the octahedral voids of aluminum hydroxide, and all atoms of gibbsite change
localization. Parameters of the27Al and7Li quadrupole and1H dipole-dipole interaction tensors in anhydrous and aqueous intercalates of gibbsite with lithium salts are determined. A
mechanism is suggested for the interaction of gibbsite with aqueous solutions of lithium salts.
