Organometallic intercalation of metal dichalcogenides: intercalates of zirconium disulphide and low ionisation potential sandwich compounds

Abstract

The new organometallic intercalation compounds {[(η⁶-C₆H₆)₂M]_1/6ZrS₂}(M = Cr or Mo), {[(η⁶-arene)₂MO]_xZrS₂}, (arene = toluene or mesitylene, x < ⅙), {[(η⁵C₅H₅)(η⁷-C₇H₇)Cr]_1/4ZrS₂}, {[(η⁶-C₆H₆)(η⁵-C₅H₅)Cr]_1/4ZrS₂}, {[(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Cr]_1/4ZrS₂}, and {[(η₈-C₈H₈)(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ti]_1/4ZrS₂} have been prepared and characterised.
