The rates of dehydroxylation of smectites intercalated with the decomposition products of Ni(phen)3SO4 are from 2 to 4 times greater than those of clays without the heat-stable intercalate. These results suggest that the intercalated material, in keeping the clay sheets separated, provides a more ready avenue for water loss during the dehydroxylation process.
