Abstract

X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that a titanium oxide with an NaCl-type structure is stable over a wide range of nonstoichiometric compositions, both above and below the 1:1 Ti/O atomic ratio. Attempts to prepare a strictly stoichiometric TiO as a single phase have revealed a marked tendency for such a composition to disproportionate into two nonstoichiometric “TiO”-type structures of variable composition, whereas nonstoichiometric compositions can be readily prepared under similar conditions as single, well-crystallized phases.

The oxide Ti3O5, which forms a constituent of the titanium-bearing slags produced in ilmenite smelting, has been prepared as a pure compound in two different crystalline forms, both monoclinic in structure, but one being very close to the orthorhombic pseudobrookite, Fe2O3 · TiO2, or ferrous dititanate, FeO · 2TiO2 structure. This “dititanate” form inverts to the other monoclinic form at high temperatures. Single crystals of the latter monoclinic form are readily made. The studies of the “dititanate” form have been restricted to powder diffraction work, since it inverts to the other form after melting. The two forms show different oxidation behaviors,
