Abstract
Room temperature reactions of n-butyllithium with either La2NiO4+y or the electrochemically oxidized La2CuO4+x (x=0.04, 0.08) have been perf ormed. Neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments and magnetic suscepti bility measurements indicate that the process which takes place in the se cases is the reduction of the material by extraction of the interst itial oxygen rather than by the insertion of lithium within the struct ure.
