This study outlines the synthesis and characterization of a unique superlattice composed of vertex-truncated indium oxide (In₂O₃) nano-octahedra, along with an exploration of its response to high-pressure conditions. Here, using a bright-field transmission electron microscope (BF-TEM), we determined an average circumradius of 15.2 nm for these octahedral building blocks. The resilience and response of the superlattice to pressure variations, peaking at 18.01 GPa, were examined by employing synchrotron-based Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) techniques. The WAXS data revealed no phase transitions, reinforcing the stability of the 2D superlattice comprised of random layers in alignment with a 2D p31m symmetry. Notably, the SAXS data unveiled a pressure-induced, irreversible octahedron translation and ligand interaction occurring within the random layer. Through our examination of these pressure-sensitive behaviors, we identified a distinctive translation model inherent to octahedra and observed modulation in the superlattice cell parameter induced by pressure. This research signifies a noteworthy progression in deciphering the intricate behaviors of 2D superlattices under high-pressure conditions.
