Interlayer Galleries and Hydration

As we have seen, the interlayer galleries in LDHs can be considered to be made up of hexagonal close-packed sites parallel to the close-packed layers of hydroxyl groups and metal cations, with one crystallographic site per metal [17,238]. The maximum amount of water which can be accommo- 

Molecular dynamics simulations [183] have suggested that the diffusion coefficient increases with increasing ratio in the layers, which can 

Far IR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics calculations have demonstrated the structural and dynamic similarity of chloride anions in the interlayer galleries of LDHs to those in bulk aqueous solution [223], as discussed 

The dynamic disorder in the interlayers of LDHs is also confirmed by single crystal XRD, since the interlayer anions and water molecules generally have occupancy factors less than unity and elevated temperature/displace-ment factors [172],
