Abstract;The crystal of anthracene (C14H10) at atmospheric pressure and room temperature has monoclinic P21/a structure. The existence of second order phase transition at 2.4 GPa caused by shear stress was confirmed by the high-pressure infrared and x-ray studies under the non-hydrostatic condition. The crystal structure at the pressure above 2.4 GPa had been unknown. We investigated the pressure changes in crystal and molecular structures of C14H10 by powder x-ray diffraction measurements under the best hydrostatic condition using helium pressure-transmitting medium. The sample color turns to yellow at 2 GPa, orange at 4 GPa, red at 7 GPa and black at 10 GPa while it is transparent at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. This pressure-induced color change is reversible at the pressure below 14 GPa. The phase transition was first observed at around 12 GPa and room temperature. (author abst.)
