ar0005">Mg6−xCuxAl2(OH)16CO3·4H2O hydrotalcites (with x = 0, 1, 3, 5) were synthesized.
ar0010">Sonication enables considerable reduction of hydrotalcites preparation time.
ar0015">A very unusual but remarkable “Fermi contact effect” was observed in NMR.
ar0020">Mg substitution by Cu in the hydrotalcite structure was evidenced.
