Thallide

Class of chemical compounds From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thallides are compounds containing anions composed of thallium. Thallium may occur as a monatomic ion (Tl5− in LiMg2Tl), as a cluster of several atoms (e.g. Tl48−), or as a polyatomic structure Tlnn− in thallides.[4][5][6] They are a subclass of trielides,[6] which also includes gallides and indides.[7] A more general classification is polar intermetallics, as clusters contain delocalized multicentre bonds.[8] Thallides were discovered by Eduard Zintl in 1932.[9]

Example thallide monoclinic Cs7.29K5.71Tl13 containing [Tl6]6− and [Tl7]7− clusters

Mixed anion compounds with thallides include halides (bromides and chlorides),[10] oxides,[11] and tetrelates (silicate, germanate).[12]

Production

Thallide compounds can be produced by melting metals together in a tantalum crucible under an inert argon atmosphere.[7] However if arsenic is included in the mix, it can react with the crucible wall.[13]

A low temperature production route, is to dissolve an alkali metal in liquid ammonia, and use that to reduce a thallium salt, like thallium iodide.[14]

Properties

Thallide compounds are dense, dense to X-rays and usually metallic grey or black in appearance.

Thallide clusters mostly do not follow Wade-Mingos rules or the Zintl–Klemm concept, as they have too small a negative charge. They can be called "hypoelectronic".[15]

Reactions

In liquid ammonia, oxidation occurs yielding metal amides, and thallium metal.[6]

Thallides react with water and air.[6]
