Abstract

The introduction of artificial +b/3 stacking faults into well-crystallized kaolinite by interca- lating and removing hydrazine had no observable effect on the solid-state 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of kaolinite. Also, the introduction of such stacking faults did not alter the hydroxyl-stretching region of the infrared spectrum, implying no change in the hydrogen bonding between the displaced layers. Calculations of Si...H distances and Si-O...H angles from reported structures for kaolinite indicated that the resolution of the two Si chemical environments was due to differences in hydrogen- bonding at the surface of the silicate sheet.
