Layered compounds based on molybdenum disulfide and ruthenium arene complexes
Abstract
Intercalation compounds of MoS

with monomeric or
OH-bridged
dimeric ruthenium arene cationic complexes have been obtained by
interaction of MoS

single-layer dispersions with aqueous
solutions of [(arene)Ru(H

arrangement of these intercalation compounds is discussed on the
basis of
XRD and EXAFS data. The arene ligands are orientated roughly
perpendicular
to the MoS
2
slabs. Their nature determines the interlayer
spacing as well as the intercalated cation content. Heating removes
the
organic ligands, while ruthenium-containing species remain in the
van der
Waals space of MoS

.
