A. Ibarz et al., THEORETICAL-STUDY OF THE INTERCALATION OF COBALTOCENE IN METAL CHALCOGENIDES, Journal of materials chemistry (Print), 8(8), 1998, pp. 1893-1900
An electronic band structure study of the intercalation of cobaltocene
in SnS2 and SnSe2 is presented. The preferred position and orientatio
n of the cobaltocene molecules within the host lattices is inferred fr
om a study of the potential energy surfaces, and the orbital interacti
ons that determine the structural preference are analyzed by means of
the crystal orbital displacement (COD) functions.
