Nanopesticides prepared using host–guest supramolecular chemistry based on a Mg/Al-LDH host using various guests, AIs, for various targets and advantages.

AI Guests Target/Advantages Source(s)
Atrazine The herbicide would be delivered close to its site of uptake, enhancing efficiency and reducing the required dose [96]
4-Chloro-2-Methylphenoxy Acetic Acid Slow release of the herbicide reduces the hazardous effects that it can pose to the environment. [93]
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid A stronger and irreversible herbicidal effect on the test plants [94]
2-Methyl-4-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid Higher loading of the AI herbicide and exhibits better adsorption properties [95]
Camphorsulfonic Acid and Ciprofloxacin Remarkable improvement in thermal stability [97]
Cinnamic Acid A green pesticide/plant growth regulator [98]
Hexaconazole and Triadimenol Loading amount of hexaconazole is higher than triadimenol in the LDHs nanohybrids [99]
Imazamox Decreasing water-pollution risk, maintaining efficacy with the advantages of soil compatibility. [100]
Long-Chain (C-18) Unsaturated Fatty Acid Anions; Elaidate, Oleate, and Linoleate Reduced affinity of the organo-LDHs to all pesticides, presumably because they lead to structures with reduced hydrophobicity compared to those resulting from the incorporation of linear organic anions. [101]
Sulfamerazine and Salicylaldehyde Offer good antimicrobial activity [102]
