title: Lithium niobium disulfide, Li0.63NbS2.
abstract: Lithium niobium disulfide, Li(0.63)NbS(2), has been prepared by a metathesis reaction between physically separated solid reactants, i.e. separated reactant metathesis (SRM). Single-crystal data were collected at reduced temperature [150 (2) K], yielding a refined Li content of y = 0.63 (6). The Li content in the crystalline samples was also determined analytically by flame photometry. The compound crystallizes in hexagonal space group P6(3)/mmc (No. 194), with Li(+) ions situated in octahedral sites between NbS(2) layers.
