Abstract

A synthetic phyllomanganate saturated with a series of primary alkylammonium cations has been examined using XRD, chemical analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A linear relationship exists between the basal spacing of the saturated alkylammonium-manganate and the hydrocarbon chain length in the interlayer, and from the gradient it is concluded that the alkyl chains are perpendicular to the manganate sheet. This orientation is a function of both the charge density and the presence of a layer of water molecules immediately adjacent to the manganate basal surfaces. Evacuation results in the loss of this interlayer water and the structure of the organo-manganate is considerably disrupted. The extent to which the interlayer arrangement can be reinstated by rehydration is dependent on the chain length of the saturating organo-cation. For cations of chain length > C6 the C contents suggest that cation in excess of the exchange capacity is present in the interlayer, but the absence of any compensating anion and the release of amine on evacuation suggests that the excess C arises from the presence of free amine.
