Proton and ammonia intercalation into layered iron chalcogenides†
Abstract
Structurally related to the iron-based superconductors, two new intercalated iron chalcogenides (H0.5NH3)Fe2Ch2 where Ch = S, Se have been prepared. By topochemical conversion, the protons were exchanged by lithium to form (Li0.5NH3)Fe2Ch2. Hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in the guest–host interactions of these intercalated phases.
