Structure-property relationships in molybdenum disulfide intercalates
The effects of host-guest and guest-guest interactions on the structure and electric cinductivity of the products of the intercalation of electron pair donors as poly(ethylene oxyde), short chain (n=2-5) secondary amines, and long chain (n=12-18) amines into molybdenum disulfide are discussed. Although in most of the intercalates MoS2 presents an octahedral conformation, induced principally by a host-guest charge transfer, in those with long chain amines predominate the hydrophobic intermolecular interactions bearing to products with different structural and transport properties.
