Dynamic equation-of-state data for D/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/ were measured in the pressure range 2--76 GPa (20--760 kbar) using a two-state light-gas gun. Liquid specimens were shocked from initial states near the saturation curve at 20 K. Maximum compression was sixfold over initial liquid density at a calculated temperature of 7000 K for D/sub 2/. The data is discussed in terms of the theory of Ross et al., which includes an effective intermolecular pair potential, molecular vibration, free molecular rotation, and molecular dissociation.
