Combined with appropriate amorphous carbon precursors graphite intercalation compounds could be used in one-stage process of production of carbon-carbon composites, which could possess attractive properties for such applications as supercapacitors elements, sorbents as well as catalyst supports and materials for energy- and gas-storage systems.

Carbon atoms crystallize in several forms. Graphite and diamond are well known carbon polymorphs. Fullerenes, which were discovered in the 1980 s, have also been well characterized. Carbon materials show a variety of different physical and chemical properties. Because of this the electronic structure of carbon materials has been investigated using a number of different experimental techniques, for example, XPS, UPS and XANES. Theoretical studies of carbon materials have been also performed. However, experimentally observed spectra are not always consistent with theoretical predictions. Recently, in order to understand the various kinds of observed electronic spectra, DV-Xa calculations have been performed on a small cluster model. [1] In the present paper, we report results of DV-Xa calculations performed on the carbon materials graphite, alkali graphite intercalation compounds (GIC), fullerene, and fluorinated fullerenes. 

The endohedral metallofullarenes just described (and the alkali metal fullerides described on p. 285) are all formally examples of metal carbides, M cCy, but they have entirely different structure motifs and properties from the classical metal carbides and the more recently discovered metallacarbohedrenes (metcars) on the one hand (both to be considered in Section 8.4) and the graphite intercalation compounds to be discussed in Section 8.3. Before that, however, we must complete this present section on the various forms of the element carbon by describing and comparing the chemical properties of the two most familiar forms of the element, diamond and graphite. 

Reaction of graphite with [02] [AsFg] results in the formation of the salt [C8] [AsFg]. The catalytic properties of some graphite intercalation compounds render them of practical importance e.g. KCg is a hydrogenation catalyst. 

Preparations and properties of residue compounds are briefly summarized in several general reviews on graphite intercalation compounds their synthesis is more systematically dealt with in ref. 6.
