Abstract

In order to study intercalates formed by the complete reaction of ammonia with TiS₂ and NbS₂, very long reaction times are required. These intercalates attain equilibrium ammonium concentrations of 25 mole% according to the formula (NH⁺₄)_y' (NH₃)_y' TS^y'-₂, where T=Ti of Nb, only after reaction periods of months. A value of y'=0.25 also is consistent with the charge transfer of 0.25 e^-/TaS₂ observed for ammoniated TaS₂. The above ammonium concentration is in good agreement with a proposed 2a×2a ammonium superstructure for the above stage I intercalates, suggesting that the extent of ammonium formation is not primarily governed by the host band structure, which is substantially different for the above hosts, but by Coulombic intercalant repulsions. This superstructure is consistent with the presence of planar ammonia in (ND⁺₄)_0.22(ND₃)_0.34TiS^0.22-₂, since the ammonia positions are always midway between nearest-neighbor ammonium positions, with the ammonia plane perpendicular to the corresponding ammonium-ammonium vector. The sensitivity of the ammonia structure to guest-guest interactions is evidenced by the observation of a non-planar ammonia structure for Li⁺_0.23(ND₃)_0.63TiS^0.23-₂, where ammonia cannot be symmetrically and linearly coordinated by Li⁺.
