Popis: Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{9}$ have been studied by ab initio methods in low-, intermediate-, and high-temperature phases. We have found the charge and orbital order in all three phases to be nonunique, and the formation of ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$ bipolaronic states less likely as compared to ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{4}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$. Several quasidegenerate magnetic configurations were calculated to have different width of the band gap, suggesting that the reordering of the unpaired spins at ${\mathrm{Ti}}^{3+}$ ions might at least partially be responsible for the changes in conductivity of this material.
