Abstract: The layered SnS_x.Se_2-x (0≤x≤2) compounds react with cobaltocene vapour forming polycrystalline layer-type complexes with the composition of SnS_xSe_2-x . 0.33Co(C₅H₅)₂. Intercalates have been studied by X-ray dif­fraction analysis and infrared absorption spectroscopy. Cobaltocene forms molecular monolayers between adjacent slabs of the host crystal structure, thefivefoldsymmetry axes of cobaltocene molecules lying parallel to the layers. The intercalation process involves an electron donation to the host, the cobaltocene being present as cobalticenium cation.
