| Abstract: | Structure and Electrochemical Study of Nb3Cl8 The compound Nb3Cl8 was synthesized from NbCl5 and niobium metal in a sealed quartz ampoule at 700 °C. Single crystals, obtained from LiCl melt were used for X‐ray structure determination (space group P 3 m1, Z = 2, lattice parameters a = b = 672.95(7) pm, c = 1223.2(2) pm (at 100 K), R1 = 0.029, wR2 = 0.064 for all independent reflections). Electrical resistivity measurements are reported. Electrochemical intercalation of lithium into the structure of Nb3Cl8 was studied. |
