Intercalation reaction of inorganic layered materials has been well-known as a method for preparing inorganicr organic multilayer nanocomposites, which have drawn increasing attention in recent years. 1r3 Kaolinite, a layered clay mineral (Al2Si2O5 (OH) 4), is a unique host material for organizing supramolecular hybrid systems because the interlayer region is sandwiched between hydroxyl groups of the AlO2 (OH) 4 sheets in one side and the oxide arrangements of the SiO4 sheets in the other. Guest molecules such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are intercalated and aligned in one direction between the layers of kaolinite. 4, 5 Although the interlayer surface reactivity of kaolinite for intercalation is very low owing to its inherent hydrogen bondings between the layers, a guest displacement method has diversified the kind of guest species. 6, 7 We have recently reported that a kaoliniter methanol intercalation compound forms at room temperature 7 and that it is an excellent intermediate for displacement reactions with various kinds of organic species such as alkylamines, 8 poly (vinylpyrrolidone), 9 p-nitroaniline, 10 and ϵ-caprolactam. 11 Therefore, the elucidation of the structure of the intermediate, methanoltreated kaolinite, is significant for the understanding of the interlayer surface reactions of kaolinite. Tunney and Detellier have already reported that methoxylated kaolinite forms from kaolinite and methanol under severe conditions in the temperature range above 200 C by using a kaoliniterDMSO orN-methylformamide (NMF) intercalation compound as an intermediate. 12 However, there have been no reports on the nature of a kaolinitermethanol intercalation compound formed at room temperature.The present paper provides evidence for the modification of the interlayer surface with methoxy groups in kaolinite treated with methanol at room temperature. Although the intercalation of methanol has been achieved by a guest displacement reaction using a kaoliniterNMF intercalation compound as an intermediate, 7 the structure of the product has not yet been elucidated. Because solid-state 2H NMR and 13C CP/MAS NMR are quite powerful for the study of methoxy-modified solid surfaces, 13 the reaction products between kaolinite and methanol (CH3OH, CD3-OD) at room temperature were characterized by NMR measurements. DTA analysis of this type of compound is not appropriate because of low organic content and a peak overlap with that due to dehydroxylation of kaolinite. Organic modification of the hydroxyl groups in the interlayer surface of kaolinite varies the properties of the interlayer environments of kaolinite. In addition to methanol, 12 modifications with molecules such as ethylene glycol, 14, 15 amino alcohol, 16 and phenylphosphonic acid 17 have been investigated. Therefore, the present paper further contributes to this field with more definitive data on organic modification of the interlayer surface of kaolinite.
