High-pressure X-ray diffraction measurements on NaSbF6 powder were performed up to 5.63 (7) GPa. At ∼0.1 GPa the cubic low-pressure phase with ordered ReO3-type crystal structure undergoes a phase transition into a rhombohedral LiSbF6-type modification. The high-pressure behaviour of this phase is characterized by rotations and distortions of the coordination octahedra, but it also can be described with a sphere-packing deformation. The octahedral distortions are probably caused by cation–cation repulsions.

Synchrotron-radiation X-ray diffraction studies of CaF2 at high pressures have been performed on a powder sample up to 45 GPa and on a single-crystal sample up to 9.4 GPa. The bulk modulus of the low-pressure phase was determined to be B 0 = 87 (5) GPa. A phase transition was observed at about 9.5 GPa. The transition is accompanied by a volume contraction of 11%. The high-pressure phase is orthorhombic PbCl2 type (space group Pbnm). The sample only partially reverts to the low-pressure phase upon release of pressure.

The crystal structure of the high-pressure polymorph of meyerhofferite, ideally Ca2B6O6(OH)10·2(H2O), has been determined by means of single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. Meyerhofferite undergoes a first-order isosymmetric phase transition to meyerhofferite-II, bracketed between 3.15 and 3.75 GPa, with a large volume discontinuity. The phase transition is marked by an increase in the coordination number of the boron B1 site, from III to IV, leading to a more interconnected and less compressible structure. The main structural differences between the two polymorphs and the P-induced deformation mechanisms at the atomic scale are discussed.

High-pressure X-ray diffraction studies have been performed on ThP using synchrotron radiation and a diamond-anvil cell. The bulk modulus B 0 and its pressure derivative B′0 have been determined (B 0 = 137 GPa; B′0 = 5.1). A phase transition from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure was observed at about 30 GPa.

The high-pressure phase β -ZrB2O5 represents the first ternary borate in the system Zr-B-O. The compound was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 7.5 GPa and 1100 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at room temperature. The monoclinic zirconium borate crystallizes in the space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 439.04(9), b = 691.2(2), c = 896.8(2) pm, and β = 90.96(3)°. The structure is isotypic to the high-pressure phase β -HfB2O5, which is built up from layers of exclusively corner-sharing BO4 tetrahedra. Between these layers, the cations are coordinated square-antiprismatically by eight oxygen atoms.

The cerium meta-oxoborate δ -Ce(BO2)3 was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 3.5 GPa and 1050 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at r. t. The compound crystallizes monoclinicly in the space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 422.52(8), b = 1169.7(2), c = 725.2(2) pm, and β = 91.33(3)°. The structure is isotypic to the recently published high-pressure phase δ -La(BO2)3, consisting exclusively of corner sharing [BO4]5− tetrahedra

We reported the growth of Fe2As single crystals and the study of its physical properties via comprehensive measurements, such as transport properties under pressure and high-pressure synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction. Fe2As is an antiferromagnetic metal with TN ~ 355 K. Within the pressure range of 100 GPa, no superconductivity was observed above 2 K. The abrupt drop in resistance from 21 to 31.7 GPa suggests a high-pressure phase transition happens. The high-pressure X-ray experiments indicate a new high-pressure phase appears, starting from 27.13 GPa. After the refinement of the high-pressure X-ray data, the pressure dependence of lattice constants of Fe2As (P4/nmm phase) was plotted and the bulk modulus B0 was obtained to be 168.6 GPa.
