CAS number : 12137-20-1
Molecular weight :63.866g/mol
Molecular formula/chemical symbol :TiO
Description :
Tilox itanium Black Titanium Monoxide TiO 99% melting point 1750°
It is non-stoichiometric in a range TiO0.7 to TiO1.3 and this is caused by vacancies of either Ti or O in the defect rock salt structure.
In pure TiO 15% of both Ti and O sites are vacant.Careful annealing can cause ordering of the vacancies producing a monoclinic form which has 5 TiO units in the primitive cell that exhibits higher resistivity.
A high temperature form with titanium atoms with trigonal prismatic coordination is also known.Acid solutions of TiO are stable for a short time then decompose to give hydrogen:
