mined in these earlier studies range from ~ 10—10 6 . Both pc and A decrease in stage 1 binary alkali-metal donor compounds with respect to the values for the host material, whereas in all acceptor GIC both of these parameters increase. The AsF 5 compounds have, for the past decade, been looked upon as the most anisotropic. It should be further noted that several other studies in the past have examined pc as a function of concentration, although the samples were not defined in regard to stage. Some works involved only RT measurements, others extended the study to 77 K; a number were based on graphites, the heat treatment temperatures (HTT) of which were considerably below 3000 °C. Among the intercalants are K, Br2, H 2 SO 4 , 29 and FeCl 3 . 30 More recent work has carried the lower- T limit to 4.2 K (in some cases to ~ 1.2 K) and to a wider range of materials and stages as summarized in Table II. 31 " 39 We will return to these results in the discussion below. It might also be noted that a small number of works have also dealt with pc for T> 295 K, notably in the case of the alkali-metal GIC. 40 Finally, we indicate in Table m 4 1 ^ 1 6 the compounds examined to date by our group. Some of the results have been presented elsewhere in greater detail, so we will cite here only the highlights, concentrating 78

particularly on the elements that appear to characterize all the materials. In regard to our work on the donor compounds, Fig. 5 gives pc (T) for the Rb-Bi family.42-43 Of the three M-Bi GIC's (M = K, Rb, or Cs), it is the rubidium group that allows synthesis of the widest range of pure stage materials.12 As for pa there is no clearpc (RT) dependence on stage; on the contrary, the
