Thallium(I) hydroxide, also called thallous hydroxide, TlOH, is a hydroxide of thallium, with thallium in oxidation state +1.

Synthesis

Thallium(I) hydroxide is obtained from the decomposition of thallium(I) ethoxide in water.

CH
3CH
2OTl + H
2O → TlOH + CH
3CH
2OH

This can also be done by direct reaction of thallium with ethanol and oxygen gas.

4 Tl + 2 CH
3CH
2OH + O
2 → 2 CH
3CH
2OTl + 2 TlOH

Another method is the reaction between thallium(I) sulfate and barium hydroxide.

Tl
2SO
4 + Ba(OH)
2 → 2 TlOH + BaSO
4

Properties

Thallous hydroxide is a strong base; it dissociates to the thallous ion, Tl+
, except in strongly basic conditions. Tl+
resembles an alkali metal ion, such as Li+
or K+
.
