Some recent progress in solid state Ti-47,Ti-49 NMR is described and review
ed. The metallic-state work described covers metals such as hcp titanium, T
iB2, a number of intermetallics such as TiAl2 and TiAl3. The inorganic work
covers the various titanium oxide based materials including the TiO2 polym
orphs, anatase, rutile and brookite. The gel work covers the evolution of c
rystalline titania from gels formed by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide.
Some complementary data from O-17 and (13) C NMR and powder X-ray diffract
ion is also included.
