Synthesis and structure of the bilayer hydrate Na0.3NiO2 center dot 1.3D(2)O
The metal oxide bilayer deuterate (hydrate) Na(0.3)NiO(2)(.)1.3D(2)O (Na(0.3)NiO(2)(.)1.3H(2)O were prepared from NaxNiO2 by extracting W cations and simultaneously intercalating fully and nondeuterated water. High-resolution neutron powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy were used to show that a Na-0.3(D2O)(1.3) network separates layers of edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra.
