Abstract
The intercalation of a cationic azobenzene derivative into the interlayer s pace of magadiite has been achieved. The spectral properties as well as the X-ray diffraction results reveal that the adsorbed azo cations form head-t o-head aggregates in the interlayer space. The basal spacing of the interca lation compound changes reversibly upon photoisomerization of the intercala ted azobenzene (see Figure). [GRAPHICS]
