Titanium diboride, TiB2, crystallizes in the AlB2-type structure, hexagonal P6/mmm. The conventional, free atom crystal structure refinement led to R=2.23%, and including extinction corrections to R=1.58%. Multipole refinements with multipoles up to order four (hexadecapole) reduced the R value to 1.21%. Difference density maps revealed charge deficiencies on the boron sites and broadbands of charge accumulations between the boron atoms indicating a graphitic B-delocalization of the boron sp2hybrid orbitals.
