title: Cationic radii from structures of extremely compressed solids.
abstract: The cationic radii of metals are derived from the compressibility of solids assuming that extreme compression of metals leads to direct contacts between cations (= atomic cores). In an extremely compressed binary compound the heteronuclear separations are equal to the sum of the cationic radius of the metal and the covalent radius of the nonmetal.
