Title: Alkali intercalation compounds of vanadium and chromium sulfides: an NMR study

Journal Article · · Mater. Res. Bull.; (United States)

NMR techniques have been used to study a series of materials, LiVS/sub 2/, NaVS/sub 2/, LiCrS/sub 2/, and NaCrS/sub 2/, which, while isostructural with the titanium intercalation compounds, are much less well understood because the formation of CrS/sub 2/ and VS/sub 2/ have only recently been reported. The resonance shifts and quadrupolar coupling strengths of the alkali metal atoms in LiVS/sub 2/ and NaVS/sub 2/ are very similar to those in the corresponding TiS/sub 2/ intercalation compounds; the vanadium NMR properties are independent of the choice of alkali metal atoms. A transferred hyperfine interaction between the Na nuclei and the localized Cr electronic moment is observed in NaCrS/sub 2/. The absence of an analogous interaction in LiCrS/sub 2/ is explained on the basis of the electronic character of the Li atom.
