The fundamental OD center in TiO${}_{2}$ has been studied by IR absorption spectroscopy and by theory. Our experiments reveal a single sharp OD line in oxygenated samples that we attribute to a positively charged center. In TiO${}_{2}$ samples reduced by a treatment in a D${}_{2}$ ambient at 500 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C, a neutral OD center with two additional IR lines is produced. Similar results reported recently by Herklotz et al. [F. Herklotz, E. V. Lavrov, and J. Weber, Phys. Rev. B 83, 235202 (2011)] led them to suggest that the neutral OD center is a shallow donor with IR lines arising from its two charge states. Our analysis suggests instead that the properties of the neutral OD center are explained by a small polaron model, which involves several configurations corresponding to the localization of the electron on different nearby Ti sites.
