Abstract:
This paper presents morphological and local structure studies, carried out by means of transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy techniques, of the mineral core of organometallic reverse micelles in a dispersion in hydrocarbons. The results obtained for the micelles and their aggregates allowed us to propose a layered structure for the mineral core and the molecular stacking.
