Dicaesium octaiodide is composed of layers of zigzag polyiodide units (I8 2−) intercalated with caesium cations. Each I8 2− unit is built of two triiodides bridged with one diiodine molecules. This system was subjected to compression up to 5.9 GPa under hydrostatic conditions. Pressure alters the supramolecular architecture around I8 2−, leading to bending of the triiodide units away from their energetically preferred geometry (D ∞h). Short I2...I3 − contacts compress significantly, reaching lengths typical for the covalently bonded polyiodides. Unlike in reported structures at ambient conditions, pressure-induced catenation proceeds without symmetrization of the polyiodides, pointing to a different electron-transfer mechanism. The structure is shown to be half as compressible [B0 = 12.9 (4) GPa] than the similar CsI3 structure. The high bulk modulus is associated with higher I—I connectivity and a more compact cationic net, than in CsI3. The small discontinuity in the compressibility trend around 3 GPa suggests formation of more covalent I—I bonds. The potential sources of this discontinuity and its implication on the electronic properties of Cs2I8 are discussed.

The thermal properties of cubic zincblende (B3) thallium - phosphide (TlP) compound under high pressure up to 12 GPa have been studied using the quasi-harmonic Debye model approximation. The relative unit cell volume, the isothermal bulk modulus, the first order derivative isothermal bulk modulus, the Debye temperature and the Grüneisen parameter are studied at zero-temperature and at standard ambient temperature (298 K) respectively. Our obtained values of the different previous quantities are in general in agreement compared to other theoretical data of the literature.

The present study deals with the elastic behaviour of diborides (BeB2, MgB2 and NbB2) under high pressure with the help of equation of state (EOS) using the elastic data reported by Islam et al. It is concluded that EOS, which are based either on quantum statistical model or  pseduopotential model, only are capable of explaining high pressure behaviour of the solids under study.  Moreover the value of first order pressure derivative of bulk modulus at infinite pressure (Kinfinity) is greater than 5/3 and thus the diborides under study do not behave as Thomas-Fermi electron gas under high compression. Keywords: Equation of state; High Pressure; Diborides. © 2009 JSR Publications.
