Abstract
GRAPHITIC acid has long been known1 to show reversible interlamellar swelling with water, of the same apparent type as that shown by the clay mineral montmorillonite. As in the case of this mineral, reactions with organic substances of polar nature are to be expected; these, although mentioned in an early paper2, appear not to have been systematically investigated using X-ray diffraction methods. This we are in process of doing.
