The pressure dependence of the resistivity and structure of La0.60Y0.07Ca0.33MnO3 has been explored in the pressure range from 1 atm to ~7 GPa. The metal to insulator transition temperature (TMI) was found to reach a maximum and the resistivity achieves a minimum at ~3.8 GPa. Beyond this pressure, TMI is reduced with a concomitant increase in the resistivity. Structural measurements at room temperature show that at low pressure (below 2 GPa) the Mn-O bond lengths are compressed. Between ~2 and ~4 GPa, a pressure induced enhancement of the Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion occurs in parallel with an increase in Mn-O1-Mn bond angle to ~180 (degree). Above ~4 GPa, the Mn-O1-Mn bond angle is reduced while the JT distortion appears to remain unchanged. The resistivity above TMI is well modeled by variable range hopping. The pressure dependence of the localization length follows the behavior of TMI.
