Stability of Ar(H 2 ) 2 to 358 GPa.
"Chemical precompression" through introducing impurity atoms into hydrogen has been proposed as a method to facilitate metallization of hydrogen under external pressure. Here we selected Ar(H2 )2 , a hydrogen-rich compound with molecular hydrogen, to explore the effect of "doping" on the intermolecular interaction of H2 molecules and metallization at ultrahigh pressure. Ar(H2 )2 was studied experimentally by synchrotron X-ray diffraction to 265 GPa, by Raman and optical absorption spectroscopy to 358 GPa, and theoretically using the density-functional theory. Our measurements of the optical bandgap and the vibron frequency show that Ar(H2 )2 retains 2-eV bandgap and H2 molecular units up to 358 GPa. This is attributed to reduced intermolecular interactions between H2 molecules in Ar(H2 )2 compared with that in solid H2 A splitting of the molecular vibron mode above 216 GPa suggests an orientational ordering transition, which is not accompanied by a change in lattice symmetry. The experimental and theoretical equations of state of Ar(H2 )2 provide direct insight into the structure and bonding of this hydrogen-rich system, suggesting a negative chemical pressure on H2 molecules brought about by doping of Ar.
