Hopping conductivity in lithium-exchanged alumina pillared layered tin phosphate materials is analysed on the basis of the coupling model. The electrical conductivity is correlated with the lithium content and the basal distance of the pillared materials. Characteristic parameters such as dc and ac activation energies, and the attempt and coupling frequencies show a marked dependence on the basal distance and the lithium content. The migration entropy of the hopping process is greater for samples with higher Li contents and lower basal distances. The conductivity time correlation function has a stretched exponential (or KWW) shape, in which the coupling parameter decreases to a minimum value for the sample with the highest basal distance.
