An aromatic hydrocarbon intercalate: FeOCl(perylene)1/9
Abstract
Intercalation of the aromatic hydrocarbon perylene into the layered host FeOCl results in an approximately 105-fold increase in electrical conductivity; power X-ray diffraction data and i.r. spectra indicate that the perylene guest is oriented perpendicular to the host layers and is present as the radical cation within the host galleries.
