Materials Data on TiO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

TiO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.34 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 28°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.16 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Ti4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ti4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OTi4 trigonal pyramids.
