N2 - Nitrogen-bearing K-cymrite (K, NH4)AlSi3O8·(N2,NH3,H2O), a clathrate phase that is stable in subduction zones, may play a crucial role in transporting potassium, water, and nitrogen to the depths of the mantle. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell with a methanol-ethanol medium was used to study its compressibility up to 10 GPa. N-bearing K-cymrite retains its hexagonal P6/mmm symmetry without signs of phase transitions across the pressure range. The third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yielded the following values: V0 = 191.38(3) Å3, K0 = 47.1(2) GPa, and K0’ = 6.40(7). Unlike K-cymrite KAlSi3O8·H2O, which develops incommensurate modulation above 7–8 GPa, no satellite reflections appear in the diffraction patterns of N-bearing K-cymrite, even at 16 GPa. This suggests that N2 stabilizes the double tetrahedral layers against wave-like bending.
