Abstract

Synchrotron x-ray diffraction study of SnI4 establishes a rich sequence of high-pressure structural transitions; 1st crystalline phase - 2nd crystalline phase - amorphous state - 3rd crystalline phase. Both metallization and amorphization proceed in the newly found 2nd phase stable above 7. 2 GPa. The 3rd crystalline phase exhibits a simple diffraction pattern that can be indexed only with the fcc lattice with the nearest interatomic distance of 3. 003±0. 001 Å at 61 GPa. This short distance is taken as evidence for pressure-induced dissociation of the SnI4 molecules.
