7Li solid state MAS NMR spectra of the chemically lithiated samples were also recorded (Figure S5). The integrated intensity of the signal increases when the concentration of n-butyl lithium increases confirming the increasing insertion of lithium. Whereas paramagnetic compounds exhibit lithium resonances shifted over a range of several hundred ppm,1 due to the Fermi contact interaction, despite containing 3d1 titanium(III), lithiated Ti0.780.22O1.12F0.40(OH)0.48 samples, as lithiated anatase,2-4 show 7Li NMR resonances inside the normal diamagnetic 7Li shift range (ca. 5 to −5 ppm).5 Wagemaker et al.3 concluded that conduction,

6

rather than paramagnetism, is the dominant interaction. Delocalized electron density is then also expected in the Ti0.780.22O1.12F0.40(OH)0.48 lithiated samples. As the Li rate increases, the 7Li signal becomes broadened and shifts slightly in a positive direction. Moreover, the intensity of the spinning sidebands increases from the lower to the intermediate rate. Assuming that MAS averages the dipolar interactions, the possible origins for the broad lines and the intense spinning sidebands are distributions of quadrupole interactions and chemical shifts due to disordered environments and interactions with electrons in the conduction band. Spectral decompositions of the slightly asymmetric central lines require two contributions (as an example, the fit of one the spectrum is given as SI (Figure S9 and Table S8)) which we have not been able to assign to the two Li host sites, i.e., titanium vacancies and interstitial site.

(1) The species TiIVo2-F are not observed in the chemically lithiated samples. Moreover, considering the preference of F for coordination numbers 1 and 2 with Ti, it can be assumed that fourfold coordinated F species including 3 Ti atoms do not occur in the chemically lithiated samples.

The intercalation of one Li+ ion being simultaneous with the reduction of Ti4+ into Ti3+ ion, if we consider the lithium intercalation into vacancy sites, Ti IVo2-F can be converted into TiIIIo2-F, TiIVLio-F, TiIVLi2-F, TiIIILio-F and TiIIILi2-F; TiIV2o-F can be converted into TiIVTiIIIo-F, TiIII2o-F, TiIV2Li-F, TiIVTiIIILi-F and TiIII2Li-F and TiIV3-F can be converted into TiIV2TiIII-F, TiIVTiIII2-F and TiIII3-F. Moreover, intercalation in interstitial sites leads to supplementary potential F species: TiIVLi3-F and TiIIILi3-F from TiIVo2-F, TiIV2Li2-F, TiIVTiIIILi2-F and TiIII2Li2-F from TiIV2o-F and TiIV3Li-F, TiIV2TiIIILi-F, TiIVTiIII2Li-F and TiIII3Li-F from TiIV3-F. Considering the preferential localization of F atoms close to vacancies, i.e., the preference of F for coordination numbers 1 and 2 with Ti, the fourfold coordinated F species including 3 Ti atoms are unlikely.
