“…AB O 4 -type oxides (where A = Cr, Fe, In, Ti, Tl; B = As, P, V) are of interest due to their wide physical properties relevant to the photovoltaic cells for solar energy utilization, catalysts for water splitting, electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries, gas sensors, etc. − Furthermore, such materials are known to exhibit structural diversity depending on the nature and ionic radius of the A site cation as well as external parameters like pressure and/or temperature. ,− The primary physical properties of such materials are originated from the d -electrons of the transition metal ions, while the active participation of the tetrahedral rigid groups of B O 4 has less influence on the physical properties. This is because they are isolated structure fragments which serve as bridges between the polyhedra of transition metal ions. − ,− ,, Besides, the vanadates of the Fe 3+ and Cr 3+ have attracted studies under ambient condition in order to understand the diverse properties ,,,,− and structures formed under different preparation conditions. − In an earlier study, the structural properties of orthorhombic CrVO 4 -type [space group (SG) Cmcm ] InVO 4 have been extensively studied under pressure, along with the polymorphic transitions to different phases, like an unknown phase and a monoclinic wolframite-type (SG P 2/ c ) phase at higher pressure . Further theoretical investigations revealed that the orthorhombic phase of InVO 4 is likely to transform to wolframite, raspite (SG P 2 1 / a ), and AgMnO 4 -type (SG P 2 1 / n ) structure under pressure, whereas, at a lower pressure, the formation of α-MnMoO 4 -type (SG C 2/ m ) may be observed .…”
