"The first superconducting graphite-doped compound -- potassium
carbide (KC8) -- was discovered 40 years ago and had a Tc of just 0.14
Kelvin. Earlier this year, researchers showed that ytterbium carbide
(YbC6) aslo becomes superconducting at 6.5 Kelvin and obtained
tentative evidence that CaC6 superconducts at a temperature as high as
11.5 Kelvin. "

Aside from lattice symmetery observations, which may or may not be
important,

  1) Stick in the smallest possible Lewis acid cations, and

  2) Do a field survey of a few hundred graphite intercalcation
compounds of all kinds.  They are easy to make, fast and easy to
characterize by x-ray powder diffraction, and are physically robust
even if they are air- and moisture-reactive.  Anhydrous AlCl3
intercalcates like a shot.  BFs is then an obvious species of
interest.

It's scut work until something scores.  One would also survey Lewis
acid intercalcates of lamellar systems with potentially delocalizable
electrons like heavy metal chalogenides, h-BN... and homoatomic 2-D
boron nets like MgB2.

    "Special psychotronic weapons are focused on him and
his key associates. Don't be surprised if there is a rapid
deterioration in his health (bone cancer etc) same as Jean
Nadal & Harold Chipman. He has been exposed to radioactivity
and other stuff that none of them are aware of - or so I am
