A scandium analogue of hydtotalcite and a mixed sample containing both scandium and aluminum have been synthesized and characterized. It is known that both samples have a layered structure; the unit cell parameters of the scandium-containing samples are slightly higher than the respective values of an ordinary aluminum-containing sampleyesBS
Magnesium-aluminum-iron layered hydroxides with hydrotalcite-like structure have been synthesized, and their chemical composition and crystal lattice parameters have been elucidated. Thermal decomposition of the iron-containing layered hydroxides has been studied by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy; the decomposition starts with loss of interlayer water, followed by dehydroxylation of metal hydroxide layers and decomposition of anions at higher temperature. Onset of the both decomposition stages has been shifted to lower temperature with increasing iron fraction in the sample. Magnesium-aluminum-iron hydroxides restore their structure after annealing and subsequent rehydration.
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.
