Poly(triazine imide) (PTI) – a 2D, layered graphitic carbon nitride network – was obtained as an intercalation compound with bromide (PTI/Br) and fluoride (PTI/F). The gallery height varies with the diameter of the intercalated anion: small guests are situated in the large voids in the C, N plane, while larger guests protrude into the inter-layer space.
