The exfoliation ability of nitrate based Mg1−xAlx(OH)2(NO3)x·mH2O layered double hydroxides (Mg-Al LDH) in formamide into single or multilayer nanosheets depends strongly on nitrate anion orientation and layer charge. Our systematic studies used materials that were likely to disclose differences with respect to anion type and their concentrations in the interlayer gallery. We assured to avoid any carbonate incorporation into the galleries for nitrate, chloride, iodide, and sulfate based Mg-Al LDHs. Furthermore, the comparative exfoliation experiments were conducted for fully hydrated samples with as similar particle morphology as possible. The exfoliation of nitrate Mg-Al LDH is far superior to similar clays with carbonate, sulfate, chloride, or iodide as charge balancing anions. Quantitative analysis of exfoliation yield for pre-treated, fully hydrated samples, shows an optimum composition for exfoliation into single nanosheets of around x ≈ 0.25, while double or triple layered sheets are encountered for other x-values. We observe a clear correlation between the expansion of the interlayer gallery due to progressing tilts of nitrate anions and water molecules out of the horizontal interlayer plane, suspension turbidity, and degree of exfoliation. The established correlations extends to nitrate Ni-Al LDH materials. We finally claim that morphology is a dominating parameter, with house-of-card morphology particles exfoliation far less than platelet-like particles. Hence, hydrothermal treatment may be favorable to enhance exfoliation yields.

The title complex salt hydrate, [Cr(C13H9N2O2)2]NO3·H2O, comprises discrete cations, nitrate anions and solvent water molecules. The CrIIIatom is octahedrally coordinated by two anionic Schiff base ligands with the O atoms beingcis. The two ligands differ significantly with dihedral angles between the pyridine and benzene rings of 4.8 (2) and 24.9 (2)°. The nitrate anion and solvent water molecule were modelled as being disordered, with the major components having site-occupancy values of 0.856 (14) and 0.727 (16), respectively. The crystal is built of alternating layers of cations and of anions plus water molecules, stacked along thecaxis.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cu2Tb(C7H3NO4)3(C12H8N2)4]NO3·4H2O, consists of one-half of theC2-symmetric trinuclear coordination cation, one-half of theC2-symmetric nitrate anion and two water molecules. In the coordination cation, the CuIIatom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from a bridging–chelating carboxylate group of the pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anion, completing a distorted N4O2octahedral coordination environment. The TbIIIatom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is nine-coordinated by three tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate anions forming an N3O6donor set. The intramolecular Cu...Tb distance of 5.0592 (11) Å indicates weak interactions between the CuIIand TbIIIatoms. The coordination cations, nitrate anions and water molecules are connectedviaO—H...O hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the (001) plane. Moreover, there are extensive π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 4.332 (7) and 3.878 (5) Å] between the phenanthroline ligands and between phenanthroline and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligands.

Interlayer structure, hydrogen-bond, hydration and swelling properties of glycine intercalated layered double hydroxides (LDHs-Gly) were investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) methods. The results show that the interlayer spacing dc increases as hydration level increases. The computed hydration energies reach the most negative values at low water contents and change rapidly over the range 1 = NW = 6, and slowly and gradually approach the potential energy for bulk SPC water at NW > 6. But there are no local minima in the energy over the entire hydration range. This result suggests that LDHs-Gly tend to absorb water continuously in water-rich environments and enhance swelling to delaminate the hydroxide layers. The interlayers of LDHs-Gly exhibit complex hydrogen-bond network. With water content increasing, the glycine molecules progressively change their orientation from parallel to the layers to nearly perpendicular. Water molecules firstly form hydrogen-bond with M-OH layers at low water contents. While the hydroxide layers gradually get to saturation state at Nw > 3. And then water molecules continuously fill the interlayer to expand interlayer spacing.

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of materials with useful properties associated with their anion exchange abilities for a wide range of materials’ applications including adsorbent, catalyst and its support, ceramic precursor, and drug carrier. In order to satisfy the requirements for the detailed characterization and the practical application, the preparation of LDHs with varied composition and particle morphology has been examined extensively. The versatility of the preparation methods led LDHs with varied composition and micro/macroscopic morphology, which makes the application of LDHs more realistic. In the present review article, synthetic methods of LDHs are overviewed in order to highlight the present status of the LDHs for practical application.

Simulation of X-ray diffraction patterns on the basis of the models of one-dimensional disordered crystals was used to investigate the structure of the dehydrated phase produced by dehydration of Mg–Al and Ni–Al layered double hydroxides at a temperature of ∼473–498 K. It was found that the removal of water molecules transforms the initial structure, which is a mixture of 3R1and 2H1polytypes, into a structure that comprises preferentially fragments of 3R2and 1Hpolytypes and has some turbostratic disorder.

Hydrotalcites are layered double hydroxides displaying a variety of stoichiometry caused by the different arrangement of the stacking of the layers, ordering of the metal cations, as well as the arrangement of anions and water molecules, in the interlayer galleries. The compounds of the hydrotalcite group show a wide range of the possible applications due to their specific properties, such as their large surface area, ion exchange ability, the insolubility in water and most of the organic sorbents, and others. Affordability, wide possibilities of manufacturing, and presence of sufficient natural deposits make hydrotalcites potentially very useful for the construction industry, as either a building material itself or an additive in mortars, concrete or in polymers composites used in constructions. Similar possible application of such material is in leakage control in a radioactive waste repository. The effect of use of these materials for ion exchange, anti-corrosion protection, radioactive ions containment, and similar purposes in building materials is examined in this review.

Each Sc3+ ion in the title salt, di-μ-hydroxido-bis[triaqua(nitrato-κ2 O,O′)scandium(III)] dichloride, [Sc2(NO3)2(OH)2(H2O)6]Cl2, is coordinated by a nitrate anion, two hydroxide ions and three water molecules to generate a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal ScO7 coordination polyhedron. The complete {[(NO3)(μ-OH)Sc(H2O)3]2}2+ ion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The nitrate anion binds in a bidentate fashion whereas the hydroxide ions are bridged between two Sc centers. Two charge-balancing Cl− ions are located in the outer sphere. In the extended structure, O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds connect the components into a three-dimensional network.
