The x-ray diffraction of specially grown single crystal of the TiO 2II at room temperature and lower temperature was analyzed. The TiO2II crystals were obtained by cooling an aqueous solution in a hermetic platinum ampoule with the use of a KONAK high-pressure chamber. The x-ray diffraction data were obtained at temperatures of 293, 223, and 133 K from needle single crystals with the use of a BRUKER diffractometer. The hemisphere of x-ray diffraction data was collected to verify the space group Pbcn. The analysis of equivalent maxima for the case of αPbO2 with the use of the SMART program made it possible to prefer the C lattice as the most probable lattice instead of the expected P lattice. Result shows that there is a sharp decrease in the amplitude of the atomic thermal vibrations of the TiO2II structure during the cooling range from 293 to 133 K.
