摘要

The behavior of iron carbonates at high pressures is relevant for geological processes occurring in Earth interiors. Here, cubic iron sp3-carbonate Fe2[C4O10] was synthesized in diamond anvil cell by reacting Fe2O3 and CO2 at 65(4) GPa and 3000(±500) K, simulating the environment of localized thermal anomalies in the mantle. The crystal structure, determined by in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction, features pyramidal [C4O10]4- anions. The experimental crystal structure corresponds to a structural model from density functional theory calculations. Experimentally determined values for zero-pressure volume V0 and bulk modulus K0 are: V0 = 1059(17) Å3, K0 = 160(18) GPa, The DFT-calculated Raman spectrum, modeled with zinc substituting iron, matches the experimental one, supporting the structural model’s accuracy. Fe2[C4O10] remained stable upon decompression down to 25 GPa, below which it amorphized. DFT calculations also reveal a spin crossover of Fe2+ cations at 95 GPa, which is significantly higher than in other Fe2+-containing carbonates.
