Talk:Intercalation (chemistry)

layman's explanation?
As layman, this is difficult to grasp. I came here trying to learn about a word I had seen mentioned in discussion about li-ion batteries. is this a correct explanation?: Atoms have a natural distance between them. Some types of atoms have similar distances, which allow their matrices to slide together, like when you fold your fingers together. This meshing is useful for systems like lithium-ion batteries. Inside the batteries you want to ions to be able to move form one pole to the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.65.48.79 (talk) 12:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

-- There is an excellent diagram of a molecule intercalated in DNA on the doxorubicin page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxorubicin). I don't know very much about editing wikipedia pages and was wondering if someone could add it to this page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robinatron (talk • contribs) 07:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

The following was moved from the bottom of the article: "There is an error in this picture. If the EB is indeed intercalated into DNA then there should not be uracil." Flopster2 12:07, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Downgraded this to stub
Sorry this article is too narrow in scope- it has little about intercalation in inorganic compounds- e.g. I would expect to see refs to zeolites, clays, niobates, hydrous oxides, chevrel phases, tunnel structures, chalcogenides, acid phospahates, oxyhalides and loads more- its a big subject! --Axiosaurus (talk) 14:14, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I you are knowledgeable then I would suggest that you add content to the article. M stone (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Very timidly, not being knowledgeable, may I ask whether lithium intercalation, as in lithium-ion battery technology, should be refered to here? Dawright12 (talk) 11:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Materialscientist (talk) 11:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Move/rename to DNA intercalation
Should we rename and leave this title for intercalation in general ? Rod57 (talk) 15:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree we should split this article, perhaps into Intercalation (chemistry) and Intercalation (biochemistry). --Smokefoot (talk) 14:35, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
