Abstract
The lamellar compounds MPS3(M = Mn, Zn, Fe, or Ni) have been shown to react with neutral [Co(η-C5H5)2] and [Cr(η-C6H6)2] forming the intercalates of general stoicheiometry MPS3[Co(η-C5H5)2]x and MPS3[Cr(η-C6H6)2]x. The role of the solvent is quite important. Thus, MnPS3 intercalates [Cr(η-C6H6)2] together with benzene forming MnPS3[Cr(η-C6H6)2]0.24(C6H6)0.10. The compounds MnPS3 and ZnPS3 have also been shown to take up cationic species, giving the related intercalation products; this unexpected route to intercalation is briefly discussed.
