Abstract
1. The solubility of oxygen in the transition metals depends upon the position of the element in the Periodic System; it is a maximum for metals with a great degree of incompletion of the d-electron shell and decreases as it is filled. 2. When a definite critical concentration of oxygen in the solid solutions formed has been reached, there is a very slow formation of suboxides with an ordered structure and an individual type of crystal lattice. The formation of suboxides is possible according to a peritectoid reaction. 3. The existence of two suboxide compounds of titanium has been detected (Ti6O and Ti3O); the existence of a series of suboxides in the transition metal-oxygen systems has been hypothesized.
