Special Articles on Technology and Its Characterization for Synthesis of Inorganic Materials. Organic Intercalations on Layered Tetratitanate

Ethylenediamine (EDA), and p-phenylenediamine (PA) were intercalated into layered tetratitanate. The reactions were enhanced by the water present in these organics and in the interlayer of titanate. The compositions of the products were (EDA)0.68H2Ti4O9, and (PA)3.12H2Ti4O9. Molecular axes of EDA and PA were estimated respectively parallel and perpendicular to the host titanate interlayer surface. Ethylene glycol and bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate could not be intercalated.
