Abstract
WHEN subjected to an atmosphere of bromine, graphite takes up bromine and swells, ultimately reaching a volume 55 per cent greater than its original volume1. The mode of adsorption is said to be by intercalation between the layers of graphite atoms. We have been able to obtain electron and X-ray spot diffraction patterns from relatively perfect natural single crystals of graphite which have been brominated previously for periods of 2–60 h.
