Abstract

Identification of TiH1^1 and TiO2^2 has been historical, as the Titanium was first time discovered in the interstellar medium (ISM). After finding TiO2_23^3, there is an obvious question about the search of titanium dihydride (TiH2_2). The existence of TiH2_2 in the ISM is quite probable, as the atomic abundance of hydrogen is about 1900 times larger than that of oxygen. We have discussed that the detection of TiH2_2 in the ISM is less probable, though it has a large electric dipole moment.
