Black granular single crystals of monotitanium dibismuth, TiBi<sub>2</sub>, were synthesized by slow cooling of a mixture of Bi and Ti from 693 K. The title compound is isostructural with CuMg<sub>2</sub> (ortho-rhom-bic <i>Fddd</i> symmetry). Ti atoms are located in square anti-prisms of Bi atoms. The network of one type of Bi atom spirals along the <i>a</i>-axis direction while honeycomb layers of the other type of Bi atom spreading in the <i>ab</i> plane inter-lace one another. ...[more]
