“…Lamellar materials are of huge importance in the host–guest chemistry, due to their essential role in intercalation/deintercalation processes, which makes them useful in adsorption, electronic/ionic conduction, and catalysis reactions, for example. − They include a large variety of materials, from clays, chalcogenides, oxides and oxoanion-based compounds, layered double hydroxides, graphene-based structures, organically pillared clays, or two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers . They may be pure inorganic, hybrid organic–inorganic, or metal–organic compounds.…”
