Abstract in another language
The thiosulfate-intercalated layered double hydroxide of Zn and Al undergoes reversible hydration with a variation in the relative humidity of the ambient. The hydrated and dehydrated phases, which represent the end members of the hydration cycle, both adopt the structure of the 3R1 polytype. In the intermediate range of relative humidity values (40–60%), the hydrated and dehydrated phases coexist. The end members of the hydration cycle adopt the structure of the same polytype, and vary only in their basal spacings. This points to the possibility that all the intermediate phases have a kinetic origin.
