Intercalation compounds of ferrous phenanthroline complexes in MoS2 have be
en synthesized by inclusion of the intercalated species with aqueous soluti
on of MoS2 single layers. The characterization by X-ray diffraction, elemen
tal analysis and infrared spectroscopy indicates that the ferrous phenanthr
oline complexes are situated between the MoS2 layers with the three-fold ax
is parallel to the c-axis of MoS2.
