2 ≤ y ≤ 1.5) Solid Solutions. -The title compounds are synthesized by solid state reaction at 1100°C and characterized by powder XRD, TG, and EPR spectroscopy. Compounds in the composition range 0.2 ≤ y ≤ 1.0 crystallize in the space group Fd3m, whereas those with y > 1.0 crystallize in the space group P4332. The tetrahedral sites of the structures are occupied by Li + and Mn 2+ . The new compound LiMn 0.5 Ti 1.5 O 4 crystallizes in the space group P4332, with all Mn 2+ ions being located on tetrahedral sites. The title spinels are currently receiving significant attention as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries. -(PETROV, K.; ROJAS*, R. M.; ALONSO, P. J.; AMARILLA, J. M.; LAZARRAGA, M. G.; ROJO, J.
