Ti( F ) polycation-intercalated layered HLaNbaO? has been prepared by the intercalation of n-hexylamine into the interlayera of HLaNb_2O_7 followed by replacing hexylammonium with n-dodecylammonium and further with Ti (IV) polycation species. Titania-pillared layered HLaNb_2O_7 was obtained by calcining the Ti(IV) polycation- intercalated HLaNb_2O_7 at 450 ℃ in air. XRD, FTIR, TEM and BET (Brunauer-Emmett-TeUer) techniques were used to characterize the resultant. The results showed that the titania-pillared HLaNb2O7 had an interlayer distance of 1.61 nm (450 V.), a specific surface area of 132 m~2·g~(-1) and a narrow pore-size distribution centered at 3.3 nm.
