Synthesis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer characterization of novel iron halides under high pressure

The aim of this proposal is to synthesize, study the structures and high-pressure behavior of iron halides in diamond anvil cells at conditions close to the Earth's lower mantle and outer core by means of single crystal XRD and SMS. An analysis of the data obtained can play an important role not only in obtaining new compounds of a strong d-d electron-correlated system with interesting physical properties, but also in proposing geo-chemical model to explain the missing halogen paradox in the Earth.
