Unit-cell-parameter and β-angle variation of monoclinic C4H4N3ClCuI with pressure (unpublished data). Solid lines for a, b and c are the fitted axial EoSs. The β angle calculated from these and the volume EoS is shown as a solid line and does not match the measured data because of the uncertainties in the EoS parameters of the axial EoSs. These cause the lengths of vectors not in the (010) plane, such as [111], to have predicted variations with pressure (solid line) that are unrealistic. The use of a polynomial function to describe the evolution of the β angle with pressure (dashed line) together with the same axial EoS reproduces (dashed lines) the measured variation of d(100) and [111] with pressure. |
