This study presents evidence that lead metavanadate, PbV2O6, is a material with zero-linear compressibility, which maintains its crystal size in one crystallographic direction even under external pressures of up to 20 GPa. The orthorhombic polymorph of PbV2O6 (space group Pnma) was studied up to 20 GPa using synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and density-functional theory simulations to investigate its structural and vibrational evolution under compression. Up to this pressure we find no evidence of any structural phase transitions by any diagnostic technique, however, a progressive transformation of the coordination polyhedron of vanadium atoms is revealed which results in the zero-linear compressibility. High-pressure Raman experiments enabled the identification and symmetry assignation of all 54 zone-centre Raman-active modes as well as the calculation of their respective pressure coefficients. Three independent high-pressure powder X-ray diffraction experiments were performed using different pressure-transmitting media (Ne, 4 : 1 methanol–ethanol mixture, and silicone oil). The results show a high anisotropic behaviour in the linear compressibility of the crystallographic axes. The PbV2O6 bulk modulus of 86.1(9) GPa was determined using a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state. The experimental results are supported by ab initio density-functional theory calculations, which provide vibrational patterns, unit-cell parameters, and atomic positions. These calculations also reveal that, unlike MgV2O6 and ZnV2O6, the band gap of PbV2O6 closes with pressure at a rate of −54 meV GPa−1 due to the contribution of the Pb 6s orbital to the top of the valence band.
