Metal intercalation compounds of TaS2: Preparation and properties

Abstract

We report the preparation of intercalation compounds of 2H–TaS2 with post transition period elements. In general we find that elements to the left of the metalloid line in the periodic table will intercalate TaS2. Crystallographic lattice parameters, the maximum amount intercalated per Ta, magnetic susceptibility, and superconducting transition temperatures are also given.
