The search for suitable lightweight rechargeable batteries has included an extensive examination of lithium intercalation compounds. Lithium's low atomic weight and high reducing potential have stimulated this examination. For a material to be considered as an electrode in such a system, it must be able to participate in a lithium intercalation reaction. A variety of solid state host lattices satisfy this requirement: TiS[sub 2], Fe[sub 2]P[sub 2]S[sub 6], and V[sub 2]O[sub 5] to name but a few. In this communication the authors report the lithium intercalation into SnS[sub 2](CoCp[sub 2])[sub x]. This is a significant observation because, in the material, the charge is transferred not to the host lattice but to a different intercalated species. 15 refs., 1 fig.
