The reduced partition function ratio (RPFR) of lithium in lithium-graphite intercalation compounds (Li-GICs) was evaluated at the UB3LYP=6-311G(d) level of theory. The partition functions were written in the usual rigid-rotor harmonic oscillator approximation.With a C24H12 coronene molecule as the model of graphene, lithium-coronene sandwich, and club sandwich compounds were considered as models of Li-GICs. The estimated value of the 6Li-to-7Li RPFR was 1.0402 at 25 °C, which yielded 1.034 as the value of the equilibrium constant, K, of the lithium isotope exchange reaction between a lithium ion in an ethylene carbonate=ethylmethyl carbonate mixed solvent and a lithium atom in interlayer space of graphite. The estimated value of K was larger than the experimental value of 1.025. The unsatisfactory agreement between the estimated and experimental K values suggested that larger molecules should be used as models of graphene and that the vibrational anharmonicity should also be taken into consideration.

Electron microscopy can be used to study structures and phase transitions occurring in graphite intercalations compounds. The fundamental symmetry in graphite intercalation compounds is the staging periodicity whereby each intercalate layer is separated by n graphite layers, n denoting the stage index. The currently accepted model for intercalation proposed by Herold and Daumas assumes that the sample contains equal amounts of intercalant between any two graphite layers and staged regions are confined to domains. Specifically, in a stage 2 compound, the Herold-Daumas domain wall model predicts a pleated lattice plane structure.
