Abstract

X-ray diffraction studies of [N(CH3)4]2CuCl4 single crystals have been carried out under hydrostatic pressure at room temperature.With increasing pressure, phase transitions take place successively, to a monoclinic phase with a unique axis along b (space group, C2h5-P121/c1) at 1.4 GPa, to a monoclinic phase with a unique axis along c (C2h5-P1121/n) at 1.7 GPa, and then to an orthorhombic phase (D24-P212121) at 3.4 GPa. The transition to the highest-pressure phase is accompanied by a discontinuous change in the crystal color from light yellow to dark green. The color change is considered to be a result of a change in CuCl42- anion geometry.
