Abstract The dynamics of water molecules intercalated in D2O saturated synthetic and natural smectites, and a synthetic Na-fluormica were studied by measurements of solid state 2H NMR spectra and spin-lattice relaxation times at 150 - 370 K. The obtained results could be explained by the 2-site flip, the C2 rotation and the isotropic rotation of the D2O molecules in smectites. In fluormica, the isotropic motion was undetectable, but the axial rotation of the hydration sphere as a whole was observed. The activation energies and correlation times of the C2 rotation were almost independent of the interlayer cations but depended on the character of clay-layers.
