The luminescence properties of YVO₄–Bi³⁺ are investigated under the action of hydrostatic pressure in the range 0–20 GPa and interpreted on the basis of empirical models and energy level diagrams. In the zircon phase, the pressure induces an energy downshift of the Bi–V charge transfer state and a correlated red shift of the emission maximum. The pressure-induced zircon-to-scheelite phase transition leads to an important shift of the Bi–V charge transfer emission to the deep red. This emission, reported for the first time in the scheelite polymorph, is strongly quenched at room temperature due to radiationless relaxation from the triplet states of vanadate units and from the Bi–V charge transfer state by crossover to lower-lying electronic states.
