“…In LDHs, the most common divalent cations (Me II ) are Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, while Al, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cr, Ga serve as common trivalent anions (Me III ) [5][6][7]. In natural systems the most abundant interlayer anions (A m− ) are CO 3 2− , OH − , Cl − , SO 4 2− [5][6][7]. Studies showed that it is possible to intercalate anionic coordination compounds and polyoxometalates [5,8], biochemical molecules [9] or even large organic compounds [6,[10][11][12][13] as well as neutral species such as ethylene glycol or glycerin, which are sometimes used to swell the structure of the LDH [14].…”
