• -dimensional (2D) materials gave access to the preparation of numerous misfit compounds. To date, three comprehensive reviews have dealt with planar [3][4] and tubular [6] misfit compounds, which were as well the foundation for the present overview. In the following, planar and tubular misfit structures are

• )1.00MoSe2, and (SnSe)1.03MoSe2 [5][6][7][8], and misfit layer compounds consisting of other elements such as tellurium [9] or lanthanides [10] have been synthesized. Although some misfit compounds occur naturally [1][11], the recent developments in the synthesis, exfoliation, and handling of layered, two
