Chemical processes employing inorganic layered compounds for inorganic and inorganic-organic hybrid materials

Abstract

Recent developments in the preparation of inorganic and inorganicorganic hybrid materials from inorganic layered compounds are reviewed. The focus is placed on three topics: preparation of new ion-exchangeable layered perovskites and a tungstic acid from Aurivillius phases via selective leaching of bismuth oxide sheets; grafting reactions for the preparation of two-dimensional inorganicorganic hybrids; and conversion of two-dimensional inorganicorganic hybrids into inorganic compounds. © 2014 The Ceramic Society of Japan.
