Abstract

Five different layered double hydroxides were synthesized from magnesium ethoxide in the presence of aluminium, gallium, indium, tin and zirconium acetylacetonates by using the sol–gel technique. The colloid suspensions initially obtained were gelled and separated by centrifugation. XRD patterns confirmed that the five solids thus obtained possessed a layered double hydroxide structure. Also, IR and Raman spectra revealed differences between the solids.
