Composition and staging in the graphite–AsF6system and its relationship to graphite–AsF5

Abstract

Interconversion, of graphite–AsF₅ intercalates and C_12n ⁺AsF₆ ^– salts, establishes the equilibrium: 3AsF₅+ 2e^–⇌ 2AsF₆ ^–+ AsF₃, for AsF₅ intercalation, and simple staging–stoicheiometry relationships exist for both the AsF₅ and AsF₆ ^– intercalates.
