Abstract
The intrinsic flexibility of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) has been here exploited to design hybrid multilayered materials by intercalation of the copper phthalocyaninetetrasulfonate (CuPcTs) complex in the interlamellar space offered by these layered hosts through a simple anion-exchange procedure. Taking advantage of their chemical versatility, two different LDHs, the diamagnetic ZnAl and the ferromagnetic NiAl, have been synthesized and characterized to explore the differences in the magnetic properties of the hybrids introduced by the intercalation of the paramagnetic complex.
