Short summary
The CaSiO3 system exhibits structural complexity with various polymorphs under different pressure and temperature conditions. This study stabilizes a new high-pressure polymorph, parabreyite, via multianvil syntheses at 4–5 GPa and 600–800 °C. Parabreyite's triclinic structure, with distinct threefold tetrahedral rings, was solved using 3D electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction. Elastic properties, thermal expansion and Raman spectra differences with breyite were analyzed.
