Intercalates of VOPO 4 with several branched alcohols (2-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, 4-methyl-1-pentanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol, 3,3-dimethylbutanol, 3-methyl-1-pentanol, 2-methyl-1-pentanol, 2-hexanol, 2-ethyl-1-butanol, 2-propyl-1-pentanol) were prepared and characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry and thermogravimetry. Only 2-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol were directly intercalated into vanadyl phosphate dihydrate. The other inter-
