Abstract

Intercalated compounds of H0.02NbSe2 and D NbSe2 (x = 0.41; 0.49) composition have been prepared and investigated by powder X-ray and neutron diffraction. Rietveld analysis of the data showed that hydrogen (deuterium) atoms occupy the 2(c) site with coordinates (132314) (structure type 2HTaS2 for H0.07NbSe2) and the 2(b) site with coordinates (00 14) (structure type 2HMoS2 for D0.41NbSe2 and D0.49NbSe2). According to crystallographic results it is suggested that the nature of the quasi-two-dimensional layer plays a key role in the unusual location of the hydrogen atoms, the intercalation processes and the maximum uptake of hydrogen. The results are compared with the available literature data.
