Layer double hydroxide method

Similar methods of encapsulation are also observed in pillared clays, which were also introduced as catalysts as long ago as the early 1980s. The field has been thoroughly reviewed up to 2000 [65], Layered double hydroxide structures have also been used for the entrapment of metal coordination compounds [66],... 

Abstract Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) comprise au extensive class of materials that are very easy to synthesize in the laboratory, albeit not always as pure phases. In this chapter, we review the wide variety of methods that are available for the synthesis of LDHs and focus on the way in which the physicochemical properties of the materials (such as phase piuity, crystallinity and surface area) vary with synthesis method. The flexibility of the different methods is also discussed some methods can be used to synthesize LDHs containing a wide range of constituent cations and anions, whilst others are more limited in scope. In some cases, the potential for scale-up of a method to produce larger quantities of material is also noted. 

Parvulescu et al. noted an interesting change in EG telomer product selectivity upon immobilization of an Pd/TPPTS catalyst on a basic support [58]. In an attempt to address the issues associated with recovery and reuse of the telomerization catalyst, the anionic TPPTS ligand was immobilized on various layered double hydroxides by ion exchange methods (Scheme 11). The use of these catalysts in the telomerization of methanol and ethylene glycol resulted in a remarkable shift in... 

In all previous cases, V was incorporated in a monomeric form. There are also methods to introduce oligomeric V into inorganic structures. Choudary et al. (48) advocated the use of a montmorillonite, pillared with V oligomers (V-PILC). V-PILC catalyzes the epoxidation of allylic alcohols with i-BuOOH. Oligomeric V is also used to pillar anionic clays such as layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with decavanadate anions (VioOjg) (49).

The relationship between electrochemical items and materials science can be grouped according to three main aspects as shown in Figure 1.1. It should be noted that electrosynthetic methods allow for preparing a variety of materials, from porous oxide layers in metal anodes, to MOFs (Mueller et al., 2006), layered double hydroxides (LDHs Yarger et al., 2008), and porous carbons (Kavan et al., 2004). Furthermore, porous materials can be modified, functionalized, or hybridized (yide infra) via electrochemically assisted procedures, thus resulting in the preparation of novel materials. 

Anionic copper(II)phthalocyanine monosulphonate (CuPcMs) and copper(II) phthalocyanine tetrasulphonate (CuPcTs) complexes have been successfully intercalated into the intergallery of Mg-Al layered double hydroxides through direct synthesis method. XRD results indicated an inclined orientation of the anion in the interlamellar space. A better thermal stability was noticed for the macrocycle ligand upon intercalation. The visible spectra showed a hyspochromic shift upon intercalation indicating disturbance of the macrocycle ligand pltmarity. An enhanced activity for the selective oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone was observed for the intercalated complex in comparison with neat complex.

Challier and Slade [175] reported the synthesis of nanocoinposite materials consisting of polyaniline molecules encapsulated between ultra-thin mixed metal hydroxide sheets which are propped apart by spacers of terephthalate or hexacyanoferrate(II) ions acting as pillars. The layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were prepared by the method of Drezdon [176] which were refluxed with aniline to synthesize aniline intercalated LDHs. In thermo-gravimetric studies, terephthalate/Cu/Cr LDHs as well as hexa-cyanoferrate(lI)/Cu/Al LDHs showed weight losses in two steps attributed to the removal of trapped water and thermal breakdown of the intercalated systems. The former material exhibited somewhat better thermal stability than the latter one. 

Catalyst synthesis perhaps represents the most promising application of layered double hydroxides [24,46]. The thermal decomposition of LDH carbonates, for example, afford mixed metal oxides that often cannot be prepared by other methods. Several catalytic compositions for organic synthesis [47], methanol synthesis [48] and Fischer-Tropsdi synthesis, for example, [49]... 

Neutral PVK and perylene have been coassembled within the interlayers of layered double hydroxide nanosheets to get ultra-thin films using the hydrogen bond layer-by-layer assembly method [93]. 

An original method to fabricate oxide nanostructured magnetic materials has been proposed in Ref. [328]. The method is based on chemical modification of ion-substituted layered double hydroxides. These structures are nanocomposites based on ferromagnetic y-Fe203 nanoparticles and diamagnetic matrix, which are stable in air and have sufficient coercive force and saturation magnetization of y-Fe203.
