The methylation of the fibrous clays, sepiolite and palygorskite, should be facilitated by their large content of surface silanol groups and the low acidity and inaccessibility of coordinated water molecules. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the reaction of diazomethane with these clays resulted in the methylation of their silanol surface groups. The grafting of CH3 groups on the surfaces of these clays produced a decrease in the surface area due primarily to the lowering of the microporosity.
