Abstract
Transition metal complexes intercalated in layered double hydroxides have a different electronic structure as compared to their free state owing to their confinement within the interlayer gallery. UV–Vis absorptions of the intercalated complex anions show a significant shift as compared to their free state. The ligand to metal charge transfer transitions of the ferricyanide anion show a red shift on intercalation. The ferrocyanide ion shows a significant blue shift of d–d bands due to the increased separation between t 2g and e g levels on intercalation. MnO\(_{4}^{{-}}\) ion shows a blue shift in its ligand to metal charge transfer transition since the non-bonding t 1 level of oxygen from which the transition arises is stabilized.
