Single crystals of the new reduced strontium titanate SrTi{sub 11}O{sub 20} (space group P{bar 1}, a = 7.1252(8) {angstrom}, b = 7.6644(8) {angstrom}, c = 13.1577(16) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 90.21(1){degree}, {beta} = 92.79(1){degree}, {gamma} = 103.94(1){degree}) are formed by slowly cooling SrTiO{sub 2.5} in molten SrO{center dot}2B{sub 2}O{sub 3} flux in high vacuum. The compound crystallizes in a new structure type based on sheared double and single rutile chains of TiO{sub 6} octahedra. Formation of a new monoclinically distorted reduced Ti-hollandite, La{sub 1.33}Ti{sub 8}O{sub 16} (space group I2/m, a = 9.946(2) {angstrom}, b = 2.9668(4) {angstrom}, c = 10.280(2) {angstrom}, {beta} = 91.09(2){degree}), was observed upon dissolving LaTiO{sub 3} in a molten La{sub 2}O{sub 3}{center dot}3B{sub 2}O{sub 3} flux. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
