Crystal structure of TiBi₂.

ABSTRACT: Black granular single crystals of monotitanium dibismuth, TiBi₂, were synthesized by slow cooling of a mixture of Bi and Ti from 693 K. The title compound is isostructural with CuMg₂ (ortho-rhom-bic Fddd symmetry). Ti atoms are located in square anti-prisms of Bi atoms. The network of one type of Bi atom spirals along the a-axis direction while honeycomb layers of the other type of Bi atom spreading in the ab plane inter-lace one another.
