A Possible Nanoreactor: CaFe-L(ayered)D(ouble)H(ydroxide) with Intercalated Cinnamate Derivatives

Abstract:

The synthesis and characterisation of various organic-inorganic nanohybrids are reported in this contribution. The host material was Ca₃Fe-LDH prepared by the co-precipitation method. E-cinnamate, E-4-nitrocinnamate or E-2,5-difluorocinnamate anions were the guests. Successful intercalation occurred through the introduction of the guest anion into the interlayer region of the host materials with the dehydration-rehydration method. The obtained nanohybrids were studied by powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDX) coupled to the SEM instrument and infrared spectroscopy (IR). These methods were used on one hand to prove that intercalation was successful and for the characterisation of the substances on the other. Molecular modelling was used for visualising the possible spatial arrangement of the organic anions.
