Mesostructured composites of layered perovskites and cationic surfactants were synthesized . Layered perovskite HCa2N13, 3010 and alkyltrimethylammonium (CnTMA) or alkylpridinium (CnPy) surfactants formed lamellar-type composites. The interlayer spacings of the composites increased with increasing carbon number of alkyl group in the surfactants. The spacings were also affected by the Nb: surfactant ratio in the reacting solutions. From comparison between size of molecule and interlayer spacing, it is suggested that two types of composites formed, which contain C16Py + ions with mono-or bilayer arrangements .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
