Abstract
Smectites exchanged to various degrees with mono- or biprotonated 1,4-diazobicyclo(2,2,2)-octane (Dabco) have a porous structure in which the organic molecule acts as a “pillar.” Less Dabco2+ than Dabco1+ was necessary both to initiate and to complete expansion, whereas for both Dabco1+ and Dabco2+ the threshold for expansion increased with the charge density of the clay. Interstratification of 9.7-Å and 14.5-Å (Dabco1+) or 14.1-Å (Dabco2+) layers was observed before full expansion occurred.Nitrogen sorption isotherms on partially exchanged Dabco1+- and Dabco2+-clays are of the BET II and Langmuir type respectively, whereas n-butane adsorbed according to BET type II for both cationic forms. The specific surface area was governed by the number of Dabcoz+ pillars, irrespective of the inorganic cation, and increased with Dabcoz+ content even beyond the composition where full expansion was reached and notwithstanding the increasing number of silicate layers in the c direction of the crystal units. This relationship is explained by an enhanced random interleaving of clay platelets in the stacking units containing Dabcoz+.Keywords
