Abstract;The ideal compositions for the nesting of AsF6- in the stage-1 CxAsF6 graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have been determined to be C14AsF6 at room temperature and C16AsF6 below 170 K, where the fluoride ligands of AsF6- are nested in contiguous three-fold sets of carbon hexagons of the graphite. The exact ratios of C:As:F = 14(16):1:6, however, are difficult to attain owing to the high reactivity of AsF5/F2. AsF5, with or without F2, slowly but steadily reacts with the inner wall of SUS316 vacuum line, and the reaction scheme xC + AsF5 + 1/2F2 -> CxAsF6 is not straightforward since F2 reacts with CxAsF6. In the course of the study on nestled AsF6-, it was found that it was the direct solid-solid reaction of O2AsF6 with graphite yields CxAsF6. We have recently found that this reaction is much faster than it had been thought at the time; the reaction proceed essentially within a matter of 10 seconds when an effective mixing of the solids is applied. This reaction scheme was extended to graphite/O2SbF6 system and GICs of hexafluoroantimonate are synthesized for the first time. In this work kinetic, compositional and structural studies of CxAsF6 and CxSbF6 have been investigated. (author abst.)
