Abstract
A temary molybdenum chloride-chloroform-graphite intercalation compound (MoCl5-CHCl3-GIC) was synthesized in chloroform solution at room temperature. The identity period along c-axis of the GIC obtained was 1.94 nm, corresponding to that of the stage 4 structure of the binary compounds synthesized by mixingmethod. The temary MoCl5-CHCl3-GIC decomposed below 200°C, much lower than the binary MoCl5-GIC, and exfoliated even at 400°C. The remakable exfoliation behavior of temary MoCl5-CHCl3-GIC was due to the existence of CHCl3 molecule in the graphite gallery with MoCl5.
