Factors influencing staging during anion-exchange intercalation into [LiAl2(OH)(6)]X center dot mH(2)O (X = Cl-, Br-, NO3-)

A variety of organic carboxylates and phosphonates have been intercalated into the hexagonal and rhombohedral polymorphs of [LiAl2(OH) 6]X·mH2O, with X = Cl-, Br-, and NO3-. The two classes of polytype differ in the stacking sequence of the layers (aba and abca, respectively). Both the initial inter...
