Abstract
Gas chromatography and static adsorption have been used to examine the bromine-graphite acceptor system, which has intercalant structures comparable with the adjacent graphite: layers. The bromine adsorption-desorption isobars and isotherms have been determined at 278–393 K, whose shapes indicate reversible phase transitions between intercalation stages 2 and 4. Measurements at 390–550 K give the desorption activation energies for the two forms of intercalated bromine; the heat involved in the conversion of the ionized intercalant form to the molecular one is 10.4 kJ/mole.
