FTIR, EDXD, and PLM; data for a new high-pressure polymorph, {zeta}-HNIW, which is formed from {gamma}-HNIW at 0.7 +/- 0.05 GPa and room temperature. The {gamma}-{zeta} transformation is rapid and reversible in single crystals in a hydrostatic pressure transmitting medium, but the {zeta} form could not be retrieved to ambient conditions. 12 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
