The crystal structures of tert-butyl-tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, Si[C(CH_3)_3]_1[Si(CH_3)_3]_3 (Bu1), and di-tert-butyl-bis(trimethylsilyl)silane, Si[C(CH_3)_3]_2[Si(CH_3)_3]_2 (Bu2), at room temperature and at 105 K have been determined by X-ray powder diffraction; the high-pressure behavior for pressures between 0 and 5 GPa is reported. The room-temperature structures have cubic Fm\bar{3}m symmetry (Z = 4) with a = 13.2645 (2) Å, V = 2333.87 (4) Å3 for Bu1 and a = 12.9673 (1) Å, V = 2180.46 (3) Å3 for Bu2. The molecules are arranged in a cubic close packing (c.c.p.) and exhibit at least 48-fold orientational disorder. Upon cooling both compounds undergo a first-order phase transition at temperatures T_c = 230 (5) K (Bu1) and T_c = 250 (5) K (Bu2) into monoclinic structures with space group P2_1/n. The structures at 105 K have a = 17.317 (1), b = 15.598 (1), c = 16.385 (1) Å, \gamma = 109.477 (4)°, V = 4172.7 (8) Å3 and Z = 8 for Bu1and a = 17.0089 (9), b = 15.3159 (8), c = 15.9325 (8) Å, \gamma = 110.343 (3)°, V = 3891.7 (5) Å3 and Z = 8 for Bu2. The severe disorder of the room-temperature phase is significantly decreased and only a two- or threefold rotational disorder of the molecules remains at 105 K. First-order phase transitions have been observed at pressures of 0.13–0.28 GPa for Bu1 and 0.20–0.24 GPa for Bu2. The high-pressure structures are isostructural to the low-temperature structures. The pressure dependencies of the unit-cell volumes were fitted with Vinet equations of state and the bulk moduli were obtained. At still higher pressures further anomalies in the pressure dependencies of the lattice parameters were observed. These anomalies are explained as additional disorder–order phase transitions.

We report the first high-pressure spectroscopy study on Zn(IO3)2 using synchrotron far-infrared radiation. Spectroscopy was conducted up to pressures of 17 GPa at room temperature. Twenty-five phonons were identified below 600 cm−1 for the initial monoclinic low-pressure polymorph of Zn(IO3)2. The pressure response of the modes with wavenumbers above 150 cm−1 has been characterized, with modes exhibiting non-linear responses and frequency discontinuities that have been proposed to be related to the existence of phase transitions. Analysis of the high-pressure spectra acquired on compression indicates that Zn(IO3)2 undergoes subtle phase transitions around 3 and 8 GPa, followed by a more drastic transition around 13 GPa.

H–O bond energy governs the PCx for Na/H2O liquid–VI–VII phase transition. Solute concentration affects the path of phase transitions differently with the solute type. Solute–solute interaction lessens the PC2 sensitivity to compression. The PC1 goes along the liquid–VI boundary till the triple phase joint.
