14. The amorphous state found previously happened to be the high-pressure state, so we named this state Am-I.

18. The flatness of the melting curve cannot be explained, even by incorporating the effect of multipolar interactions to the intermolecular interaction. We concluded that the rigidity of molecules can no longer be assumed adequate for describing the system under pressures beyond 1 GPa. See K. Fuchizaki and K. Nagai, Solid State Commun. 132, 305 (2004). 0038-1098

21. This is explicitly expressed by Sintra (k) =1+ 8 5 j0 (k rSn-I) + 12 5 j0 (8 3 k rSn-I), where rSn-I is an intramolecular distance between Sn and I, and j0 denotes the zeroth-order spherical Bessel function.
22. A constraint was imposed on the code developed in Ref. so that the shape of the MD cell, which contains 216 molecules, remains cubic.
23. The intermolecular interaction was tuned to reproduce the compressibility of CP-I at RT (Ref.). No readjustment of the parameters included in the intermolecular potential was made. We examined liquid structures along the melting curve of the model liquid and found that the model liquid at 1.3 GPa, 1500 K captures well the structural characteristics of the real liquid at 0.4 GPa, 610 K.
