Abstract
The full structure of the high-pressure phase V of sodium deuteroxide has been solved from neutron powder diffraction data and its structural pressure dependence has been measured up to 8.6 GPa. The structure reveals that NaOD-V is hydrogen bonded, but with bent and possibly bifurcated hydrogen bonds. With increasing pressure, one of the deuterium oxygen contacts shortens more rapidly than the other and this hydrogen bond straightens.
