Multivalent cation intercalation

Magnesium and zinc have been intercalated into both cubic and layered TiS2, also zinc has been intercalated into the layered compound WO2Cl2. Intercalation has been carried out via chemical routes involving the reaction of the organometallic compounds di-n-butylmagnesium [(C4H9)2Mg], Mg-2,6-di-t-butylphenoxide [Mg-(O-2,6-But2C6H3)2] and di-ethylzinc [(C2H5) 2Zn] with the hosts. In the case of magnesium insertion into cubic titanium disulphide, MgxTiS2-C, a continuous range of solid solution, 0
