A series of blue inorganic compounds with the composition YIn1-xMnxO3 (0  = x = 1) was reported in 2009.  The blue color shades are caused by the  correlation between the arrangement of atoms with electron  distribution; however, the structure can be changed through the  application of external pressure.  The effects of applied pressure on  the crystal structure of several members of this series were examined  using synchrotron X-ray diffraction.  The compressibilities and changes  in the structures of these materials are reported.
