Tetragonal ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 6.90}(OH){sub 2.00}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2.00} hydrate was prepared using an acidic steam hydrothermal (ASH) method. Thermal dehydration followed by phase transformation of this precursor leads to successful synthesis of a novel W-site low-valent substituted cubic ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 7.90} solid solution, the mechanism of this process is studied in detail revealing the hydrate and a metastable orthorhombic phase of V'{sub W}substitution solid solution as important intermediate product. This material is found to possess thermal contraction and order-disorder phase transformation properties similar to that of the cubic ZrW{sub 2}O{sub 8}. -- Graphical Abstract: A novel cubic ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 7.90} solid solution (a) was synthesized through its metastable orthorhombic phase (b) as the dehydration product of hydrate precursor ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 6.90}(OH){sub 2.00}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2.00} (c). Display Omitted Highlights: {yields} The details of ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 6.90}(OH){sub 2.00}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2.00} dehydration process is revealed. {yields} V{sup 5+} remaining a substitution state is crucial to the formation of c-ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 7.90}. {yields} Synthesis of a novel aliovalent W-site substituted cubic ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 7.90} was achieved. {yields} Phase transition temperature and thermal contraction were determined for c-ZrW{sub 1.80}V{sub 0.20}O{sub 7.90}.
