Abstract
This chapter talks about an experiment where the copper molybdenum bronze, Cu0.21 MoO3, with a layered structure is reacted with n-alkylamines in the acetonitrile or aqueous solution and neat liquid of n-alkylamines in the temperature range of room temperature to 70°C for up to three weeks. Alkylamines with the number of carbon atoms from 3 to 16 were found to form intercalation compounds with bronze. The basal spacing of the intercalation compounds increases linearly with the length of alkylamine. As copper ions in the bronze remained intact in the interlayer space during the reaction and protons were not included in the bronze, the intercalation reaction is considered to be neither an ion exchange reaction nor an acid-base reaction.
