Mo₂Ga₂C: a new ternary nanolaminated carbide

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Apr 18;51(30):6560-3. doi: 10.1039/c5cc00980d.

Abstract

We report the discovery of a new hexagonal Mo2Ga2C phase, wherein two Ga layers – instead of one – are stacked in a simple hexagonal arrangement in between Mo2C layers. It is reasonable to assume this compound is the first of a larger family.
