Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising compounds in a wide range of fields. However, exchange of CO32- anions with other anions is necessary, because the CO32- anions are strongly affixed in the LDH interlayer space. To elucidate the reason for the extremely high stability of CO32- anions intercalated in LDHs, we investigated in detail the chemical states of CO32- anions and hydrated water molecules in the LDH interlayer space by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. We found the rigidity of the network structure formed between the CO32- anions, hydrated water molecules, and the hydroxyl groups on the metal hydroxide layer surface to be a crucial factor underlying the stability of CO32- anions in the LDH interlayer space.
