Abstract

The heterocyclic amines 2,6-lutidine, pyrazine, piperazine and piperidine were intercalated into layered crystalline hydrated barium phenylphosphonate, Ba(HO 3PC 6H 5) 2·H 2O, through a batch method in ethanolic solution, to give the maximum amounts 0.39, 0.82, 2.80 and 5.50 mmol g −1, respectively. The original host interlayer distance ( d) of 1532 pm increased after intercalation for piperazine (1752 pm) and piperidine (2112 pm) molecules, while for 2,6-lutidine and pyrazine molecules d values were maintained. The enthalpy of intercalation gave −5.60 ± 0.10, −1.00 ± 0.02, −9.55 ± 1.00 and −30.70 ± 0.68 kJ mol −1 for the sequence of heterocyclic amines. The Gibbs free energies are negative and entropies are positive for intercalation.
