Ordering of CoCl 2−, NiC1 2− and CrCl 3−graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) is studied by observing nonlinear magnetic response at weak AC excitation fields and at very low frequencies. The result for CoCl 2− and NiCl 2− GICs supports the two-step hierarchical spin ordering model by confirming the non-breaking of total magnetic symmetry between the upper and lower transition temperatures.

Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) of mercuric chloride have been synthesized by four different methods: via the vapour phase, from melts of pure HgCl2, from melts of HgCl2, and alkali metal chlorides, and from solutions in concentrated aqueous HCl. Compounds of stages 4, 3 and 2 were obtained, respectively. GICs prepared from solution always show staging disorder. Pure stage compounds of stage three and four exhibit the following repeat distances along the c⃗ axis: c(3) = 1632 pm; c(4) = 1968 pm. Further structural analysis is hindered by the disorder phenomena common to GICs. Rather surprisingly, monochromatic Laue photographs probing the in-plane order of the intercalate reveal that - regardless of the preparation method - the diffraction patterns of all compounds are identical. The main phase possesses a monoclinic in-plane lattice with cell dimensions: a = 390(4) pm, b = 412(4) pm, γ = 108.6(3)°. A structure which resembles certain features of the structure of pristine HgCl2 is proposed for this phase. Another unidentified phase seems to stabilize this structure in spite of different amounts of chlorine excess probably occurring in compounds prepared in different ways.
