H. Tagaya et al., PREPARATION OF NEW ORGANIC-INORGANIC NANOCOMPOSITE BY INTERCALATION OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS INTO MOO3 BY ULTRASOUND, Materials research bulletin, 30(9), 1995, pp. 1161-1171
4-Substituted pyridines were reacted with the layered host lattice MoO
3 using ultrasonic wave irradiation. XRD patterns and TG spectra showe
d the formation of new organic-inorganic nanocomposites. XPS spectra s
howed that no reduction of Mo metal occurred through the reaction. The
se results and IR spectra indicated that pyridimium ion interacted wit
h oxygen of MoO3 by hydrogen bonding.
