Abstract
Abstract Studies of transformations of 20H polytypic crystal of cadmium iodide have been described. Two curious intrapolytypic transformations 20H 7 →20H 1 and 20H 8 →20H 1 have been observed. The structural sequences of these polytypes have been determined and the transformations have been analysed in terms of the determined sequences. It has been shown that the two independent transformations lead to the same common transformed structure since this structure is the most stable out of the various structures.
