Abstract

Reported here is the first observation of an incommensurate-commensurate phase transition at 316 ± 1 K upon heating stage-2 graphite-bromine prepared in bromine liquid. The transition during heating involved the movement of the 300 reflection toward a lower q value and the sharpening of the 010 reflection, thereby resulting in the commensurate structure characteristic of stage-2 prepared in bromine vapor. The transition was reversible. The previously reported comtmensurate-incommensurate transition occurred at 326, 329, 332, 338 and 348 K for stage 2 (in bromine liquid), stage 2 (in bromine vapor), stage 3, stage 4, and desorbed material, respectively. Disordering was observed upon completion of this transition.
