We report the dependencies on hydrostatic pressure up to 100 kbar, and on temperature from 10 K to 300 K of the frequencies of Raman-active stretching modes in the single crystal MX chain solid Pt2Br6(NH3)(4) (PtBrn). The data show that a predicted pressure-induced metallization does not occur, and suggests instead that either a 3-D structural distortion or a transition to a broken-symmetry ground state different from the charge-density wave (CDW) takes place.
