Titanic acid

Titanic acid is a general name for a family of chemical compounds of the elements titanium, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula [TiOx(OH)4−2x]n. Various simple titanic acids have been claimed, mainly in the older literature.[1] No crystallographic and little spectroscopic support exists for these materials. Some older literature including Brauer's Handbook refers to TiO2 as titanic acid.[2]

  • Metatitanic acid (H2TiO3),[3]
  • Orthotitanic acid (H4TiO4)[4] or Ti(OH)4. It is described as a white salt-like powder under "TiO2·2.16H2O".[5]
  • Peroxotitanic acid (Ti(OH)3O2H) has also been described as resulting from the treatment of titanium dioxide in sulfuric acid with hydrogen peroxide. The resulting yellow solid decomposes with loss of O2.[6]
  • Pertitanic acid (H2TiO4)
  • Pertitanic acid ([TiO(H2O2)]2+)[7]
