Fluorine chemistry at extreme conditions: Possible synthesis of HgF4

By irradiating a pressurized mixture of a fluorine-bearing compound (XeF2) and HgF2 with synchrotron hard x-rays (>7 keV) inside a diamond anvil cell, we have observed dramatic changes in the far-infrared spectrum within the 30-35 GPa pressure range which suggest that we may have formed HgF4 in t...
