Intercalation of n-Alkylamines in the Ruddlesden-Popper Type Layered Perovskite, H₂La₂Ti₃O₁₀

Abstract

Intercalation behavior of n-butylamine in H2La2Ti3O10, a protonated form of Ruddlesden-Popper type layered perovskite, K2La2Ti3O10, was investigated. H2La2Ti3O10 was refluxed in a mixture of 25 ml of dry n-butylamine, 25 ml of dry THF, and 0 - 5.0 ml of water or in a mixture of 25 ml of dry n-butylamine and 25 ml of water. n-Butylamine was intercalated into H2La2Ti3O10 only when the amount of water was equal to or larger than 0.18 ml.
