Abstract

The intercalation of metal hexafluorides (MF6) into graphite proceeds according to the reaction nC + MF6 → Cn+x(MF6-)x(MF6)1-x where x is the degree of charge transfer. The latter can be determined by magnetic measurements. It varies approximately linearly with the electron affinity of the MF6. The doping of polyacetylene by MF6 is believed to proceed by a similar reaction.
