Thallium (I) triiodide is an inorganic chemical compound of thallium from the group of iodides .

Extraction and presentation

Thallium (I) triiodide can be obtained by reacting thallium (I) iodide with iodine in boiling methanol .

It can also be obtained by reacting thallium (I) iodide, iodine and hydrogen iodide .

properties

Thallium (I) triiodide is a black solid that is insoluble in water. In the solid state, its structure corresponds to TlI-I 2 or Tl + [I 3 ] - , but dissolved in methanol TlI 3 and should therefore be more precisely referred to as thallium (I) triiodide instead of thallium (III) iodide in the solid state. The portion of iodine that exceeds thallium (I) iodide is split off by water, ethanol , ether, carbon tetrachloride or a potassium iodide solution. Its orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group Pnma (space group no. 62) is isomorphic to that of rubidium triiodide . Template: room group / 62
