Abstract The intercalation of amines into α-tin(IV) hydrogen phosphate, α-Sn(HP04)2·H20, (α-SnP) can occur to give mono- or bilayers of the guest molecule. The distribution and orientation of the amines is influenced by geometrical factors, acidity of the guest molecule and moreover, the degree of charge localisation of the guest organic cations. Regarding the monolayer formation, there are two possibilities. The first is that aromatic amines form monolayers with parallel orientation of the amine with respect to the phosphate layer, when the charge is delocalised over the aromatic ring. Monolayer formation with perpendicular orientation occurs when the positive charge is localised in opposite parts of the aromatic ring molecule. Bilayer formation occurs when the positive charge is localised in one part of the molecule and simultaneous interaction with two adjacent layers is not possible.
