Intercalation and interstitial derivatives of yttrium monochloride

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5340728

The investigation of the alkali metal intercalation and nonmetal interstitial derivatives of YCl has produced six new classes of compounds: 3R-Li/sub 0.09/YCl, lT-Y/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/C, 2H-, and 3R-M/sub 0.1/sup I/YClO, 1T-Cs/sub 0.1/YClO, and lT-M/sub 0.4/sup I/Y/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/C with M/sup I/ = Li-CS (except 2H-Li/sub 0.1/(YClO). These are all synthesized as black plates by stoichiometric reaction of Y powder or strips, YCl/sub 3/, and, as appropriate, M/sup I/Cl, Y/sub 2/O/sub 3/, YOCl or C within sealed Nb tubing at 950/sup 0/C for 1 to 3 weeks. The yields for all but 3R-Li/sub 0.09/YCl are above 90%.
