Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of (C2F x Br0.01 · yCH3CN) n (0.5 < x < 1.0) intercalation compounds

Abstract

(C2FxBr0.01 · yCH3CN)n intercalation compounds, with (C2FxBr0.01)n (0.5 < x < 1.0) as a host and CH3CN as a guest (x and y are stoichiometric coefficients), have been synthesized. The influence of fluorine content on the spectroscopic characteristics of the intercalation compounds with acetonitrile has been studied by Raman, IR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. The macroscopic properties of the intercalation compounds are shown to correlate with their spectroscopic characteristics. The data for the compounds stored in air for about a year indicate that their surface and interior differ in structure.
