Thallium(I) hydroxide
Template:Chembox Thallium(I) hydroxide, also called thallous hydroxide, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Template:Chem2. It is a hydroxide of thallium, with thallium in oxidation state +1. It is a thallium(I) salt of water. It consists of thallium(I) cations Template:Chem2 and hydroxide anions Template:Chem2.
Synthesis
Thallium(I) hydroxide is obtained from the decomposition of thallium(I) ethoxide in water.[1]
This can also be done by direct reaction of thallium with ethanol and oxygen gas.
Another method is the reaction between thallium(I) sulfate and barium hydroxide.
Properties
Thallium(I) hydroxide is a strong base; it dissociates to thallium(I) cations, Template:Chem2, and hydroxide anions, Template:Chem2, except in strongly basic conditions. Template:Chem2 cation resembles an alkali metal cation, such as Template:Chem2, Template:Chem2 or Template:Chem2.
