Foreword

Although there are numerous families of lamellar solids, only a handful of them

exhibit the kind of versatile intercalation chemistry that forms the basis of this

book. In arriving at the content of this volume, the editors have accurately identified

six classes of versatile layered compounds that are at the forefront of materials

intercalation chemistry, namely, smectite clays, zirconium phosphates and phosphonates,

layered double hydroxides (known informally as ‘‘hydrotalcites’’ or

‘‘anionic clays’’), layered manganese oxides, layered metal chalcogenides, and

lamellar alkali silicates and silicic acids. Graphite and carbon nanotubes have not

been included, in part because this specialty area of intercalation chemistry is

limited to one or two molecular layers of comparatively small guest species that

are capable of undergoing electron transfer reactions with the host structure.

Six of the eleven chapters are devoted primarily to the intercalation chemistry

of smectite clays, the most versatile among all lamellar compounds. Two of

these chapters are devoted to the experimental and theoretical aspects of the clay

structures and surface chemistry, including chemical catalysis. Organo clays and

polymer-clay nanocomposites, the adsorption of nitroaromatic compounds of environmental

significance onto clay surfaces, photochemical processes, and pillared

clays and porous clay heterostructures are the subjects of the remaining

four chapters. These six chapters provide detailed discussions of the factors that

influence access to the intragallery surfaces of the clay host and the materials

properties of the resulting intercalates.

The remaining five chapters provide succinct overviews of the intracrystal

guest–host chemistry of the next most prominent families of lamellar structures.

Originally recognized for their importance in the production of precipitated metal

oxide catalysts, the layered double hydroxides are finding increasing importance

in many areas of materials chemistry. Expanded materials applications are also

being realized for the layered zirconium phosphates, which initially attracted

attention only on the basis of their cation exchange properties, as well as for

the layered metal chalcogenides. Having remarkably regular porosity and redox

properties, the layered manganese oxides represent the newest family of lamellar

compositions of contemporary research interest. Finally, the alkali silicates and

their proton-exchanged derivatives form a robust family of layered materials that

can be readily synthesized from silica gel and surface modified for use in many

areas.

Overall, this is a timely, well-written book that deserves to be in every

chemistry and materials science library, as well as on the personal bookshelves

of new and established researchers engaged in the study of layered materials. It

provides an excellent up-to-date reference source on the state of the art of important

lamellar structures and their contemporary materials applications.
