Influence of dynamic compression on the phase transition of cyclohexane

•Cyclohexane underwent four phase transitions under a static compression of up to 25 GPa.•Influence of dynamic compression on the phase transition of cyclohexane examined with dynamic-Diamond Anvil Cell.•Two new phases of cyclohexane were found at 2.23 GPa and 3.96 GPa as the pressure increased step by step within 5 ms.•Cyclohexane turned from phase Ⅳ into a new phase Ⅵ' as the pressure increased from 2.77 to 20.74 GPa within 5 ms.•Dynamic compression could provide an unusual high-pressure and temperature nonequilibrium path for cyclohexane.
