• equivalent area per charge ≈25 Å2/(+) and charge compensating interlayer anions [11][12]. As it is known that interlayer anions in LDH can be easily exchanged by external anions, and that once introduced, anions are stabilized via electrostatic interaction [13][14], we utilized guanosine monophosphate (GMP
