Ai. Bortun et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LAYERED TITANIUM ARSENATE TI2O3(H2ASO4)(2)CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O, Journal of materials chemistry, 7(12), 1997, pp. 2525-2528
A new metastable layered titanium arsenate, isostructural with Ti2O3(H
2PO4)(2) . 2H(2)O, has been synthesized by acid treatment of the frame
work compound NH4TiOAsO4 at ambient temperature. Based on elemental an
alysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry the fo
rmula Ti2O3(H2AsO4)(2) . 2H(2)O was assigned to the novel compound. Th
e layered nature of the compound was confirmed from amine intercalatio
n and the ion exchange behavior towards alkali and alkaline earth meta
ls.
