Abstract: Methylmercapto) aniline(MMA) has been intercalated into α Zr(HPO4)2·H2O(α-ZrP), and the characteristics of the intercalation reactions have been studied. Under mild conditions, no intercalation was observed. Under more forcing conditions, variable amounts of intercalation compound were observed along with unreacted α-ZrP. The yield of the intercalation compound is related to the ratio of MMA/ α-ZrP, the reaction temperature and intercalation method. The interlayer spacing of the intercalation compound is about 236 nm, and does not vary significantly with different preparation conditions. The molecules of MMAwhich have been intercalated into α-ZrPoccur in two forms, one being protonated, the other being unprotonated in the ratio of 1 to 11 respectively. This incomplete proton transfer may be related to the relatively low base strength of MMA.
