A metastable modification of TiS 2 has been prepared by a topotactic solid‐state reaction at room temperature in which CuTi 2 S 4 working electrodes were anodically oxidized in aprotic copper( I ) electrolytes. On the basis of X‐ray powder data, it can be determined that the new phase belongs to a very seldom AB 2 structural type. This cubic TiS 2 is of interest, inter alia, as a material for reversible electrodes in secondary batteries. It has advantages over hexagonal TiS 2 (layer lattice).
