The non-centrosymmetric layered compounds IrTe₂I and RhTe₂I

Abstract

The previously unreported layered compounds IrTe2I and RhTe2I were prepared by a high-pressure synthesis method. Single crystal X-ray and powder X-ray diffraction studies find that the compounds are isostructural, crystallizing...

The pressure-stabilized polymorph of indium triiodide

“…High pressure synthesis and the influence of high-pressure treatment have attracted researchers' attention in recent years, as the application of pressure can lead to significant changes in reaction equilibria and affect both the structures and physical properties of compounds. [1][2][3] High-pressure high-temperature synthetic techniques may introduce phase transitions and lead to different polymorphs, [4][5][6] or result in new formulas or structures [7][8][9] that cannot be stabilized using traditional preparation methods at ambient pressure.…”
