“…and/or interesting structural features (anionic segregation [3], layered structures [4,5]). Among all systems, the rare-earth titanium oxychalcogenide system has been the most studied and several compounds have been characterized, as exemplified for instance by La 8 Ti 10 [9]. In most cases, titanium adopts the +IV oxidation state, but it was also found with the +III oxidation state or in a mixed valence state.…”
