Abstract
Novel graphite biintercalation compound with layers of SmCl3 and ErCl3 is synthetized by the one-zone vapour method. A well defined stage-3 SmCl3 graphite intercalation compound with the c-axis repeat distance Ic = 16.60 ± 0.07 Å is used as the host matrix. The X-ray diffraction shows a creation of a new compound with Ic= 19.70 ± 0.05Å. Based on these data a … G-SmCl3 -G-ErCl3… stacking sequence is proposed. The electron diffraction shows a-axis of the intercalated layer is rotated with respect to the graphene a-axis by 42°, and 19°, 42° for SmCl3 and ErCl3 layers, respectively. The parameters of the lattices obtained are aSmC13 =7.37 Å, aErCl3 = 6.75 Å, and bErC13 = 11.73 Å.
