✦ Synopsis

The crystal structure of (\mathrm{Li}{2} \mathrm{TiSiO}{5}) was solved at (20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}) in the tetragonal space group (P 4 / n \mathrm{~mm}) with unit cell parameters (a=) (6.444(3) \AA, c=4.399(2) \AA, V=182.67 \AA^{3}, D_{c}=3.09 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}) and (Z=2). The structure parameters were refined to a final (R) value of (1.95 %) for 339 independent reflections with (I>3 \sigma(I)). The crystal structure can be regarded as a layered one with infinite sheets of (\mathrm{SiO}{4}) tetrahedra and (\mathrm{TiO}{5}) square pyramids linked by common corners, connected by layers of Li cations.
