25. The authors report that phase III has the same symmetry as phase IV with different ordering of the atoms. Therefore, in order to distinguish them, they mark the former as Pnnm-1 and the latter as Pnnm-2.

36. 2 molecule at 50 GPa: 38.6 Å3 (i4/mmm), 38.7 Å3 (cmca), and 44.5 Å3 (pa3̄).
37. The transformation between the face centered cell of I4/mmm and Pnnm-2 (z = 4) and the standard cell (z = 2) is simple with the cell vectors a, b, and c of the face centered cell equal respectively to a' + b', a' - b', and c', where a', b', and c' are the original vectors of the standard cell.
38. An important experimental issue when dealing with XeF2 is its stability with respect to decomposition into Xe and F2. Kim et al. did not find signs of such a reaction taking places at high pressure.10 Indeed, our calculations indicate that the enthalpy of decomposition of solid XeF2 to solid Xe and F2 is positive and equal to 144 kJ/mol at 0 GPa (compared to 151 kJ/mol found experimentally): Johnson, G. K.; Malm, J. G.; Hubbard, W. N. J. Chem. Thermodyn. 1972, 4, 879-891. It increases to 358 kJ/mol at 100 GPa because of the positive sign of the p?V term(for details, see the SI).
39. Additionally, the Xe layers (expanding in the a-b plane) become slightly puckered, and the a and b cell vectors are differentiated (a lengthens and b becomes smaller), while c expands (see the SI).
