Titanic acid

Titanic acid is a general name for a family of chemical compounds of the elements titanium, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula Template:Chem2. Various simple titanic acids have been claimed, mainly in the older literature.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> No crystallographic and little spectroscopic support exists for these materials. Some older literature refers to titanium dioxide (Template:Chem2) as titanic acid,<ref name="Fresenius1887">Template:Cite book</ref> and the dioxide forms an unstable hydrate when TiCl₄ hydrolyzes.<ref>Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd Ed. Edited by G. Brauer, Academic Press, 1963, NY. Vol. 1. p. 421.</ref>

• Peroxotitanic acid (Template:Chem2) has also been described as resulting from the treatment of titanium dioxide in sulfuric acid with hydrogen peroxide. The resulting yellow solid decomposes with loss of Template:Chem2.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
