Fixing metal cpds in carbon - between the plane carbon lattice layers, by inserting and decomposing a metallic halide

摘要

The metallic halide pref. WF6 is inserted between the layer under the form of a lamellar complex and is then decomposed into a body remaining stably between the layers of carbon. The halide may be decomposed by heat or washing with water. The carbon may be graphite. The product may have approx. formula C10W6.
