Abstract

A new form of CO2 High pressure modifies the interatomic and intermolecular interactions in condensed matter, profoundly altering the physical and chemical properties of materials. This is dramatically demonstrated in a newly discovered form of carbon dioxide, dubbed a-carbonia. This nonmolecular amorphous carbon dioxide is a high pressure modification of the CO2 molecular solid. It is a glassy material, homologous to amorphous silica (SiO2) and germania (GeO2). The discovery could initiate new research areas in the solid-state chemistry of light elements.
