Fig. 4: Comparison of calculated diffuse intensity profiles to experimental data taken at 1.26 GPa.

Diffuse intensity profiles along the 12l (a), 1–3l (b), and 1–4l (c) streaks (black circles) and the inverted symmetry-equivalent profiles (black triangles). The intensity profiles were corrected for background intensity as well Lorentz and polarization corrections were applied (see Supplementary Note 2). Solid lines represent simulations of the diffuse intensity where the Cl atom is displaced in 3 pm steps (equals δxCl = 0.0051 in fractional coordinates) parallel to ah from the average position xCl = 1/3 deduced from the sharp reflections. The Miller index l refers to the hexagonal basis vector ch.
