The history and development of high-pressure crystallography are briefly described and examples of structural transformations in compressed compounds are given. The review is focused on the diamond-anvil cell, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the principles of its operation and the impact it has had on high-pressure X-ray diffraction.
Keywords: diffraction; high pressure; hydrogen bonds; phase transitions; polymorphism; thermodynamics.
