The stabilities of organic dyes have been controlled by host-guest complexation and the
hybrids have been regarded as novel photofunctional materials. In the present review, the …

Abstract The Raman spectroscopy of Maya Blue (MB), a nanostructured organic–inorganic
hybrid material, has received considerable attention. A re‐evaluation of the Raman literature …

This paper presents the design of natural, high-performance hybrid pigments consisting of
carminic acid incorporated on different porous minerals. Raw sepiolite, palygorskite …

Abstract The heating process (30–200° C) of a palygorskite-indigo mixture has been
monitored in situ and simultaneously by synchrotron powder diffraction and Raman …

Maya Blue pigment forms through heating-induced encapsulation and bonding of indigo in
microporous clays, namely, palygorskite or sepiolite. Stabilizing host/guest interactions in a …

The spectroscopic properties of indigo, one of the most important natural dyes present in
nature, have been investigated by means of DFT and TD-DFT calculations and Raman and …

Maya blue is a greenish-blue and stable pigment composed of indigo and palygorskite or
sepiolite. Previous studies implied that the properties of Maya blue were influenced by …

The structural features and host/guest interactions existing in a stable, red-purplish hybrid
material obtained by grinding and heating palygorskite clay with 2wt.% acid red 2 (methyl …

In the study, a new vacuum method was applied to prepare the hybrid pigments of sepiolite
and Basic red 46 (XL-GRL). Various hybrid pigments respectively prepared by the vacuum …

There are conflicting reports on molecular interactions between indigo and the members of
the palygorskite family (natural porous clays) both components of the famous Maya Blue …
