Results from pair distribution fitting over the range 180 K to 450 K based on the I4cm model. The system was found to be tetragonal for the entire temperature range (See supplementary document Fig. S6). Panel (a) gives a plot of the ratio of c*/a* indicating that the system is tetragonal for the entire temperature range. The red squares are data taken from Stoumpos et al.13. The lower left inset gives the lattice parameters, and the upper inset gives the volume vs temperature yielding a very large volume expansion coefficient αV = 1.097(5) × 10−4 K−1. The extracted atomic displacement factors for the I sites (I1 and I2, see Fig. 2) are shown in (b). Note that there is a smooth transition with temperature. In (c) the extracted single particle potentials representing the motion of the I atoms about the equilibrium positions are shown. The large value of the fourth order coefficient γ indicates very strong anharmonic behavior (See also supplementary data document Fig. S7). Not that the enhanced anharmonic behavior of the I2 site relative to the I1 site.
