Pressure-induced phase transitions in quasi-one-dimensional anthracene derivatives
Abstract
We have studied a series of 9,10-disubstituted anthracenes as a model system of quasi-one-dimensional crystals which undergo pressure-induced phase transitions due to reorientations of adjacent face-to-face molecules within stacks. Free energy minimization calculations have been found very useful in predicting the high pressure behavior of these crystals yielding a plausible mechanism of the phase change.
