The electron spin resonance spectra of precipitated rutile powders dried in air and subjected to various gas and vacuum treatments have been studied. Two signals (both triplets) obtainedwith the sample dried in air have been attributed to the presence of 02+ on the surface. Outgassing at higher temperatures leads to the disappearance of the two triplets andappearance of a new asymmetric signal, due to formation of Ti (III) ions. Experi-ments also indicatethat these Ti (III) ions do not assume interstitial positions but are present at regularlattice positions. If outgassing of the sample is done at 500 for 3 hr the Ti (III) ions produced are close to the surface and are completely oxidized to Ti (IV) at room temperature on admission of oxygen. However, use of hydrogen gas for reducing Ti02 leads to formation of Ti (III) ions even in the bulk of the material. Finally, outgassing of a sample exposed to oxygen at room temperature following an initial high-temperature outgassing yields a new signal (doublet) which is identified as the 02~ species at the surface.
