Chemical systems involving reduction or oxidation of an intercalation compound are reviewed. In the reductive experiments discussed, there are only two distinct diffraction-identifiable graphite products, graphite itself and the C/sub 13/CrO/sub 3/ intercalation compound. Contrary to previous implications, there is no evidence of insertion of reducing agent into the interlayer voids of the graphite to form a characterizable intercalate. However, in non-reductive reactions, it has previously been shown that inorganic acids are capable of exchanging with species within C/sub 13/CrO/sub 3/ to form nominally ternary intercalation compounds. This result is confirmed for the case of 6 N HCl (1 hour, 100/sup 0/C), obtaining a final solid phase product of Cr/Cl = 11.
