IR absorption and magnetic data for the titanium dioxide nanopowders are studied. Additional absorption in IR range is revealed in nanocrystalline TiO2 and Co-doped TiO2 after reducing annealing and explained by appearance of the oxygen vacancies and delocalised charge carriers. Increasing of the absorption in IR range after annealing of Co-doped TiO2 in vacuum (or decreasing of this contribution after annealing in air) correlates with arising (or vanishing) of ferromagnetic contribution.
