The effects of high pressure on Cs{sub 2}CuCl{sub 4}, bis(trimethylbenzylammonium) tetrachlorocuprate, (N-phenylpiperazinium) tetrachlorocuprate, bis(N-benzylpiperazinium) tetrachlorocuprate bis(hydrochloride), and bis(N-methylphenethylammonium) tetrachlorocuprate are reported. Electronic spectroscopy indicates molecular rearrangements in the tetrachlorocuprate ions with increasing pressure. The changes in geometry and nature of the rearrangements are discussed.
