(tmeda)
was intercalated into preprepared C6Li or C12Li. X-ray diffraction from the ternary compound indicates an identity
period of 11.5 Å. The 13C NMR line shifts show that
tmeda molecules form a screen between the graphene planes and the
lithium ions. Small-angle X-ray scattering showed that no higher structural
ordering was present but revealed a progressive roughening of the
surfaces with successive intercalation of lithium and amine into the
graphite galleries.
