The intercalated compound of dodecanesulfonate into hydrated cobalt was synthesized. The compound shows a layered structure as determined by high temperature X-ray diffraction. The layer distance of the product is increased from <TEX>$19.1{\AA}$</TEX> to <TEX>$34.7{\AA}$</TEX> by increasing the temperature from <TEX>$30^{\circ}C$</TEX> to <TEX>$200^{\circ}C$</TEX>. We can control the layer distance by varying the temperature which is accomplished by changing from the monolayer to the bilayer structure of the intercalated dodecanesulfonate.
