Abstract:
High-pressure synthesis provides unique pathways to materials with unprecedented structures and properties. Here we report the synthesis and structural characterization of novel rare-earth (La, Sm, Gd, Dy) chlorides, chloride carbides, and oxychloride phases obtained due to complex chemical reactions in diamond anvil cells after laser heating of rare-earth metals and NaCl at pressures of 39-127 GPa and temperatures of 2500-2800 K. Synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis allowed us to solve previously unknown crystal structures of binary (La2Cl, LaCl, LaCl3, DyCl) and ternary (DyNa2Cl5, Sm2ClC2, Gd2ClC2, Dy2ClC2, Sm19ClC18, Gd19ClC18, Dy5Cl3C, DyOCl) compounds. Significantly, we identified trans-polyacetylene-like carbon chains in lanthanide chloride carbides, a structural motif previously hypothesized but not observed experimentally. Our findings highlight the enhanced chemical reactivity of alkali halides under extreme conditions, uncovering novel chemical bonding and expanding the landscape of potential functional materials accessible through high-pressure synthesis.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
