Organothallium Compounds
Organothallium compounds are compounds that contain the carbon-thallium bond. The area is not well developed because of the lack of applications and the high toxicity of thallium. The behavior of organothallium compounds can be inferred from that of Organogallium chemistry, organogallium and Organoindium chemistry, organoindium compounds. Organothallium(III) compounds are more numerous than organothallium(I) compounds. Organothallium(I) Chemistry : Organothallium(I) compounds remain obscure and limited scope. Attempts to generate the simple compound thallium methyl results in disproportionation, giving thallium(III) derivatives. With the bulky tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl substituent, a tetramer has been crystallized. Similarly, thallium(I) aryl compounds require steric bulk for their isolation. A well-known organothallium(I) species is thallium cyclopentadienide. It arises by treatment of thallium(I) salts, such as thallium sulfate, with cyclopentadiene. Thallium(I) cyclopent ...

Carbon
Carbon () is a chemical element; it has chemical symbol, symbol C and atomic number 6. It is nonmetallic and tetravalence, tetravalent—meaning that its atoms are able to form up to four covalent bonds due to its valence shell exhibiting 4 electrons. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon makes up about 0.025 percent of Earth's crust. Three Isotopes of carbon, isotopes occur naturally, carbon-12, C and carbon-13, C being stable, while carbon-14, C is a radionuclide, decaying with a half-life of 5,700 years. Carbon is one of the timeline of chemical element discoveries#Pre-modern and early modern discoveries, few elements known since antiquity. Carbon is the 15th abundance of elements in Earth's crust, most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the abundance of the chemical elements, fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Carbon's abundance, its unique diversity of organic compounds, and its unusual abi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
