Surface modification of inorganic layer compound with organic compound and preparation of thin films

Water treated View the MathML source layered double hydroxide (LDH) was prepared by the reaction of LDH oxide and water. By the reaction of the water treated View the MathML source LDH or amorphous metal hydroxide and organic oxychloride, surface modified inorganic layer compounds were prepared. Their layer structures were similar to those of the orginal LDHs except the reaction product of amorphous metal hydroxide and benzoyl chloride. Interlayer spacings of the reaction products were 0.77 to 2.67 nm depending on the size and number of function groups of organic compounds.
