Thallium(III) acetate is the acetate salt of thallium, with the chemical formula Tl(CH₃COO)₃. As a selective culture medium in microbiology,^[1] thallium acetate is toxic,^[2] but it can also be used as a hair loss agent. A dose of 8 mg/kg will cause acute poisoning, and the minimum lethal dose for adults is 12 mg/kg.^[3]

Preparation[edit]

Thallium acetate can be obtained by reacting 80% acetic acid with thallium(III) oxide, and the product crystallizes in acetic anhydride.^[4]

Properties[edit]

Anhydrous thallium(III) acetate crystallises in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c. The unit cell dimensions are a = 15.54 Å b = 8.630 Å and c = 7.848 Å with β = 113.92°. There are four formula per unit cell. and density is 2.57. Three acetate ions are chellated to each thallium ion.^[5]

Thallium(III) acetate monohydrate also crystallises in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, a = 9.311 Å, b = 14.341 Å, c = 9.198 Å, β = 119.69 °. Unit cell volume is V = 1067.0 Å³ Z = 4, density is 2.49.^[6]
