Abstract

An account of our structural investigations of the Graphite Intercalation Compounds of ZnCl₂, CdCl₂ and HgCl₂ is given. In the case of zinc chloride-graphite X-ray absorption spectra show that the Zn atoms in the intercalated layers are coordinated tetrahedrally. For cadmium chloride-graphite hk0 diffraction patterns clearly show that the sandwich structure of a layer as it is observed in pure CdCl₂ is conserved. For mercuric chloride-graphite, monochromatic Laue photographs show an oblique in-plane unit cell of the intercalate.
