Abstract

Sodium montmorillonite and pyridine form a regular complex of spacing 23·3 kX in the presence of traces of moisture. The minimum interlamellar composition necessary for the formation of the complex is approximately Na+ (C5H5N)4 (H2O)2. The intensities of the 00l reflections are considered incompatible with the complex having a five layer structure and an alternative arrangement is proposed.
