Popis: Current predictive models of organic cation sorption assume that sorbates interact with all sites on aluminosilicate minerals in the same manner. To examine whether differences in aluminosilicate structure and the resultant changes in electrostatic potential influence the sorption of organic cations, seven smectites were chosen with different proportions of isomorphic substitutions (origin of clay charge) located in octahedral versus tetrahedral layers and with the presence or absence of aluminosilicate interlayers. Sorption coefficients for 14 benzylamine derivatives with systematic differences in compound structures were collected to understand the possible influence of aluminosilicate mineralogy. Benzylamine compounds with methyl group substitution on the charged amine or with electron-donating or -withdrawing ring substituents displayed decreases in cation exchange-normalized sorption coefficients (
