been synthesized in gram quantities under ambient conditions using exfoliation of the layers as a synthetic
tool. Intercalation of alkylamines (CnH2n+2NH2, where n = 3, 4, 8, 12, and 16) into yellow molybdic
acid (MoO3·2H2O) and subsequent treatment with nitric acid resulted in molybdenum oxide nanorods,
nanodisks, or oxide−amine composite nanorods. The sizes of the nanoparticles range from a few
nanometers to micrometers in length and 10 to 200 nm in diameter. Detailed X-ray, scanning electron
microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses reveal an inverse relation between the size
of the nanoparticles and the chain length of the guest molecules. Infrared and thermogravimetric studies
throw light on the driving force for the amine intercalation and the orientation of the intercalated amine
molecules.
