Inorganic layered materials were utilized to develop strategies for the preparation of multifunctional materials. Specifically, the ability to prepare materials with specific functional domains was investigated. Zirconium phosphates and their functionalized derivatives were prepared using strategies such as surface functionalization, full functionalization, and intercalation. Both the structure and properties of the synthesized materials were investigated using a combination of FTIR, MAS NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder x-ray diffraction. The viability of each approach was then evaluated considering the stability and reactivity of the resulting functional domains.
