Abstract

An account of our structural investigations of the Graphite Intercalation Compounds of ZnCl 2, CdCl 2 and HgCl 2 is given. In the case of zinc chloride-graphite X-ray absorption spectra show that the Zn atoms in the intercalated layers are coordinated tetrahedrally. For cadmium chloride-graphite hk0 diffraction patterns clearly show that the sandwich structure of a layer as it is observed in pure CdCl 2 is conserved. For mercuric chloride-graphite, monochromatic Laue photographs show an oblique in-plane unit cell of the intercalate.
