Abstract

X-ray diffraction, thermal, and chemical techniques have been used to demonstrate that chromium trioxide will intercalate graphite in the presence of a glacial acetic acid solvent. The product is a third stage ionic compound of graphite with an identity period I c of 14·92 A, which may be hydrolyzed to give a molecular intercalate. Contrary to previous reports, it appears that chromium trioxide and graphite do not react directly to form an analogous intercalation product, yielding instead a mixture of lower oxides of chromium and unreacted graphite.
