Popis: We have successfully synthesized for the first time a Ti-doped ZrSiO4 powder (stoichiometry Zr0.95Ti0.05SiO4) via a sol–gel route. The structural and vibrational properties have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Zr0.95Ti0.05SiO4 has a tetragonal zircon-type structure with a = 6.5981(2) Å and c = 5.9810(2) Å. Eight of its Raman-active modes have been measured and assigned. We also performed high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments. The structural behavior was studied up to 31 GPa. At this pressure, we found evidence of the onset of a phase transition, coexisting the low-pressure polymorphs (zircon) with the typical high-pressure polymorph of ZrSiO4 (reidite-type). From the analysis of unit-cell volume versus pressure using a Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, in the quasi-hydrostatic pressure regime (P
