Effects of compression on the halogen bonding of iodic acid – a neutron diffraction study (2024)
Journal Article
Jones, R., Bull, C. L., Marshall, W. G., Pulham, C. R., & Allan, D. R. (2024). Effects of compression on the halogen bonding of iodic acid – a neutron diffraction study. High Pressure Research, 44(4), 504-517. https://doi.org/10.1080/08957959.2024.2428201

The response of the crystallographic structure of iodic acid has been determined using neutron diffraction up to 7.2 GPa. We observe no evidence of a direct structural phase transition. However, we do observe evidence of a molecular re-orientation, p... Read More about Effects of compression on the halogen bonding of iodic acid – a neutron diffraction study.
