Ebook: Layered Double Hydroxides

"Both experimental and theoretical studies of nearly every aspect of the LDH structure are discussed, including the range of metal cations and interlayer anions, M ³⁺ /M ²⁺ ratios, LDH polytypes, arrangement of the "interlayer" anions and water molecules, molecular modeling and molecular dynamics simulations, and the long- and short-range order in both the layers and interlayer galleries.
Of especial value is the treatment of the more detailed aspects of the LDH structure that are still unresolved.

In conclusion, this is a valuable resource for researchers and students in the field of LDHs and should be of general interest to those in the field of layered and porous materials. While the information on applications may become dated, the literature through 2004 is thoroughly reviewed and some 2005 references are included. The price of $219,00 compares reasonably to those of other volumes of its class." (Elizabeth Gardner, University of Texas at El Paso, J.Am.Chem.Soc. vol.128, no.32, 2006, JA069733V)
