A. Beres et al., DEHYDRATION-REHYDRATION BEHAVIOR OF LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDES - A STUDY BY X-RAY-DIFFRACTOMETRY AND MAS NMR-SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of molecular structure, 410, 1997, pp. 13-16
Mg-Al and Zn-Al double hydroxides were synthesized and their dehydrati
on-rehydration behaviour was studied by X-ray diffractometry and Al-27
magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. On dehydration the layer
ed structure collapsed, but treatment in water resulted in partial rec
onstitution of the original structure, Or. heat treatment part of the
octahedrally coordinated aluminium, typical of layered double hydroxid
es, became tetrahedrally coordinated, On rehydration some of the tetra
hedral aluminium became octahedrally coordinated again. (C) 1997 Elsev
