Abstract
Ion exchange and intercalation chemistry of InMo4O6 were found to be p ossible due to the open channels in this structure (approximately 1.95 Angstrom across at narrowest constriction). The In+ cation could be r eplaced with Li+ via ion exchange, with little change in the lattice p arameters of the structure (InMo4O6 a=9.665(1) Angstrom, c=2.864(1) An gstrom; LiMo4O6 a=9.698(1) Angstrom, c=2.855(1) Angstrom) due to the r igidity of the bonds holding the Mo4O6 structural framework together. Most of the Li+ could then be removed by reaction with an iodine solut ion in acetonitrile. Zinc or indium cations could then be intercalated into the ''empty'' structure at relatively low temperatures (500 degr ees C).
