Abstract

The use of lattice energy minimization techniques to generate the structures of titanium dioxide polymorphs is demonstrated, given cell dimensions and contents without symmetry or geometry assumptions. The method yields the structures of rutile, anatase and brookite and, additionally, the TiO2(II) structure. Combined with cell data from, for example, powder diffraction, the procedure will be of value in crystal structure solution.
