High pressures in solid-state chemistry can play two important roles: (i) in decreasing the inter-atomic distances in existing materials, such a modification inducing electronic or structural phenomena; (ii) in the synthesis of new materials through the densification effect, the stabilization of the precursors, the compressing of the corresponding atoms, or improvement of the reactivity.
