PREPARATION OF GRAPHITE-THIAZYL SALT INTERLAMINAR COMPOUND AND ELECTRICALLY-CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL COMPRISING IT

摘要

A novel intercalation compound of a graphite with a thiazyl salt represented by the formula Z.S4N4.2SbCl5 wherein Z stands for C24, pyrolytic carbon or pyrolytic graphite is prepared by reacting a graphite material with trithiazyl trichloride and antimony trichloride in the presence of a non-polar solvent. The graphite intercalation compound thus obtained has not only an excellent stability to humidity or moisture but also a high electrical conductivity. The novel intercalation compound according to the present invention may be practically used as a novel electrically conductive material and a catalyst of organic reactions.
