Reversible lithium insertion and copper extrusion in layered oxysulfides†
Abstract
All of the copper in the layered oxysulfides Sr2MnO2Cu1.5S2 and Sr2MnO2Cu3.5S3 may be extruded as the element and the copper ions replaced quasi-reversibly by lithium ions in reductive topotactic ion exchange reactions; dramatic changes in magnetic properties result.
