Solid state intercalation of 4,4'-bipyridine into the interlayer space of montmorillonites

Khaorapapong N, Kuroda K, Hashizume H, Ogawa M

Intercalation of 4,4'-bipyridine into the interlayer spaces of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)-montmorillonites by solid-solid reactions was investigated. The successful intercalation of 4,4'-bipyridine and the complex formation in the interlayer spaces of montmorillonites was confirmed by powder XRD (the change in the basal spacings) as well as IR and the thermal analysis of the products.
