Ti2O3 adopts the Al2O3 (corundum) structure.[1] It is reactive with oxidising agents.[1] At around 200 °C there is a transition from semiconducting to metallic conducting.[1] Titanium(III) oxide occurs naturally as the extremely rare mineral tistarite.[2]

Other titanium(III) oxides include LiTi2O4 and LiTiO2.[3]
