Novel salts of graphite and a boron nitride salt

Electronic structure and intercalation chemistry of graphite-like layered material with a composition of BC6N

“…It is well known that graphite has the small overlap (0.04 eV) of orbitals and interacts with acids and bases to make various kinds of graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) [15]. On the other hand, h-BN has the wide band gap (43.8 eV) and does not interact with acids and bases except for very strong acids such as SO 3 F radical [16]. The overlap of the orbital as well as the unoccupied p* orbital, therefore, has an important role for the intercalation of alkali metals.…”

Intercalation of Hexagonal Boron Nitride by Strong Oxidizers and Evidence for the Metallic Nature of the Products

“…Nearly 20 years ago, from these laboratories, a dark blue boron nitride #uorosulfate, (BN) SO F, and a graphite relative, C SO F, were brie#y described, and each was reported (9) to be an electrical conductor. Hooley, however, failed (10) to con"rm these observations for the h-BN salt.…”

Compositional, structural and physical studies of some graphite hexafluoroarsenates and their relatives

“…Although o 2 AsF 6 was reported to react with graphite in so 2 ctF as a solvent to produce a first-stage salt characterized as c 8 AsF 6 ,25 ,26 ,35 ,37 it was found in this study that such compounds contain a large amount of (--.7.6 A), when xis larger than --.14, (3) first-stage phases with x smaller than --.14 have larger Ic-spacing (ca. 7.6-8.0 A), (4 …”
