Abstract

Co-reduction of mixtures of MoCl3(THF)3 and SiCls4 in THF using Li/C10H8 or both Li/C10Hs8 and LiBEt3H resulted in formation and separation of black powders which upon thermal annealing at temperatures ranging from 750°C to 1 100°C produced crystalline molybdenum silicide and silicon carbide composite. Co-reduction of mixtures of WCI4 and GeBr4 with LiBEt3H in THF formed W2C and elemental Ge which upon thermal treatment at 750°C for 4 hours generated a small amount of crystalline W5Ge3.
