I will present a new series of wet chemical strategies to intercalate atomic species including heavy metals, semiconductors, and semimetals (Bi, Cr, Ge, Mn, Mo, Ni, Os, Pb, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Sb, and W) into layered chalcogenides and oxides. The zero-valent nature of the intercalant species allows super-stoichiometric intercalation of atoms and can be used to achieve interlayer alloys. This new intercalation chemistry is reversible, performed at low-temperatures, and is non-destructive. These intercalation reactions give access to unique physical properties including heterostructures, polytypic superlattices, and achieves novel chemo-chromism in layered transition metal oxides, such as MoO3, towards chemically tunable technologies for new smart materials.<br/>
