Darstellung und Struktur von Thallium(I)-2,4,6-tris(trifluormethyl)thiophenolat, einer Verbindung mit faltblattartig-polymerem Aufbau

The title compound, thallium(I) 2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)thiophenolate (1) has been prepared by using either TlOEt and (CF3)3C6H2p. or Tl2CO3 and (CF3)3C6H2SNa. A single X-ray structural analysis shows a folded polymeric structure for 1; the crystal lattice incorporates half of a 1,4-dioxane molecule per Tl atom. This compound has a surprisingly high kinetic stability compared to known thallium(I) thiolates.
