The crystals of MPS3 (M=Mg, Zn, Mn, Fe, Mn1-xFex) produced pyridine intercalates with a basal spacing of 12.4 Å. One-dimensional electron distribution map of the intercalate showed that pyridine molecules were arranged between the phosphorus-sulfur layers with the molecular planes perpendicular to the layers. The reactivity of the MPS3 crystals decreased in the following orders, MgPS3≈, ZnPS3>MnPS3>FePS3>NiPS3. The NiPS3 crystal and the solid solution of Mn1-xNixPS3 (x O.67) did not form the intercalate with pyridine. The order is reversed in comparison with the order for lithium intercalation into MPS3, indicating that the intercalation mechanism is different between these two kinds of electron donors.
