The Structure, Morphology and Layer Rigidity of Clay Intercalation Compounds
Intercalation compounds generally consist of porous host structures which can ingest a variety of guest species into the pore spaces with little or no distortion of the host structure itself. 1–3 The porous regio...

Layer rigidity of clay intercalation compound: [Me4N+]1−x [Me3NH+]x −V
Vermiculite is an Alumino-Silicate clays which is one of the layered materials that can form intercalation compounds [1–3]. The host layer of Vermiculite is classified as a 2:1 layered silicate due to its stru...

X-ray and Neutron Scattering Studies of Graphite Intercalated with Two-Dimensional K-NH3 Metal-Ammonia Solutions
The potassium-ammonia ternary graphite intercalation compounds (T GIC’s) K(NH3)xC24, 0 ≤ × ≤ 1, and their deuterated counterparts have been of considerable recent interest. 1–3 This interest results from the poss...

Graphite Intercalated with Potassium and Ammonia—A Metal-Ammonia Solution in Two Dimensions
Several decades ago Rudöff and his coworkers [1] showed that graphite could be readily intercalated by metal-ammonia solutions (M-NH3 where M = alkali metals, rare earth metals, etc.) if the host material was dir...

Chapter
Structural Properties of Two-Dimensional Metal-Ammonia Liquids in Graphite
The vast literature on three-dimensional (3D) bulk metal-ammonia solutions1–3 is testimony to the importance of these novel fluids as arenas for the study of the metal-insulator (M-I) problem.4 Since phase transi...

The Raman Spectrum of EuC6: A Clue to Understanding Light Scattering from Stage 1 Alkali Gic’s
The room temperature Raman spectrum of EuC6 has been recorded and is found to exhibit a Fano-broadened band at 1500 ± 5 cm-1 and an additional feature at 1840 ± 10 cm-1. The latter feature is attributed to crysta...

X-Ray Diffraction from Graphite Intercalation Compounds Under Hydrostatic Pressure
X-ray diffraction studies of pressure-induced intralayer and interlayer structural phase transitions in alkali GIC’s are discussed with particular emphasis on KC24 and CsC36. It is shown that such transitions inv...
