The pressure effects on the relaxation process of excited K{sub 4}(Pt{sub 2}(H{sub 2}P{sub 2}O{sub 5}){sub 4}){center dot}2H{sub 2}O (Pt{sub 2}) crystal have been studied at room temperature. The emission properties such as maximum energy and peak intensity are discussed on the basis of X-ray diffraction study and infrared spectroscopy. Lower energy shifts of the emission energy were observed ({minus}170 and {minus}190 cm{sup {minus}1}/GPa for fluorescence and phosphorescence, respectively), which was interpreted as due to reduction of the intramolecular Pt-Pt distance. The pressure-induced excimer fluorescence appearing at the lower energy side of the normal fluorescence also exhibited a lower energy shift with increasing pressure ({minus}1,000 cm{sup {minus}1}/GPa). This phenomenon was observed only for well-grown Pt{sub 2} crystals.
