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.^[3]

C₂H₅OTl + H₂O → TlOH + C₂H₅OH

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

4 Tl + 2 C₂H₅OH + O₂ → 2 C₂H₅OTl + 2 TlOH

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

Tl₂SO₄ + Ba(OH)₂ → 2 TlOH + BaSO₄

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, A⁺, such as Li⁺ or K⁺.
