The field of polyhalogen chemistry, specifically polyhalogen anions (polyhalides), is rapidly evolving. Here, we present the synthesis of three sodium halides with unpredicted chemical compositions and structures (tP10-Na$_2$Cl$_3$, hP18-Na$_4$Cl$_5$, and hP18-Na$_4$Br$_5$), a series of isostructural cubic cP8-AX$_3$ halides (NaCl$_3$, KCl$_3$, NaBr$_3$, and KBr$_3$), and a trigonal potassium chloride (hP24-KCl$_3$). The high-pressure syntheses were realized at 41–80 GPa in diamond anvil cells laser-heated at about 2000 K. Single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) provided the first accurate structural data for the symmetric trichloride Cl3– anion in hP24-KCl3 and revealed the existence of two different types of infinite linear polyhalogen chains, [Cl]$_∞$$^{n–}$ and [Br]$_∞$$^{n–}$, in the structures of cP8-AX$_3$ compounds and in hP18-Na$_4$Cl$_5$ and hP18-Na$_4$Br$_5$. In Na$_4$Cl$_5$ and Na$_4$Br$_5$, we found unusually short, likely pressure-stabilized, contacts between sodium cations. Ab initio calculations support the analysis of structures, bonding, and properties of the studied halogenides.
