Thallium (III) bromide is an inorganic chemical compound of thallium from the group of bromides .

Extraction and presentation

Thallium (III) bromide tetrahydrate can be obtained by reacting an aqueous suspension of thallium (I) bromide with bromine at 30 to 40 ° C.

properties

Thallium (III) bromide occurs only as a hydrate because the anhydrous salt is unstable. Its tetrahydrate is a pale yellowish colored solid that is in the form of long needles and is easily soluble in water. It melts at 40 ° C, but at 30 ° C in air it begins to decompose into dark yellow thallium (I, III) bromide with the release of water and bromine. In the vacuum , this is done even at room temperature. With alkali bromides it forms various bromido complexes, such as B. the Rb [TlBr 4 ] or the Rb 3 [TlBr 6 ].

use

Solutions of thallium (III) bromide are strong oxidizing agents and are used as such in organic chemistry and organometallic chemistry.
