Abstract
Abstract Clay mineral synthesis has been an important subject to which vibrational spectroscopy has been intimately entwined since the 1960s. In the past two decades, the complexity of synthetic clay mineral systems has increased as clay scientists have gained better understanding of the conditions, chemistries and mechanisms of clay mineral synthesis. These advances could not have been possible without the detailed study of starting, intermediate and final materials—of both successful and failed synthesis experiments—by vibrational spectroscopic methods. This chapter provides a detailed review of the current state of science in applications of IR and Raman spectroscopy to the study of clay mineral syntheses.
