Lm. Barcina et al., PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE INTERCALATION COMPOUNDS OF ALPHA-HAFNIUM PHOSPHATE WITH METHYLPIPERIDINES, Solvent extraction and ion exchange, 16(3), 1998, pp. 861-873
The mechanism of intercalation reactions between 4-methylpiperidine an
d n-methylpiperidine with alpha-HfP in aqueous media has been studied.
The intercalated solids obtained are characterized by chemical and th
ermal analysis, X-ray diffractions and IR spectroscopy. Titration and
intercalation isotherms, hydrolysis curves, corrected isotherms, and p
hase distributions are obtained. Two new phases with the composition a
lpha-Hf(HPO4)(2).amine.H2O are isolated and characterized. The influen
ce of basicity and steric factors on the intercalation behaviour is di
scussed. The arrangement of the two isomeric forms of methylpiperidine
in the interlayer space is postulated.
