Abstract Solid thallous carbonate reacts with chlorine gas with the formation of brown-coloured Tl2OCl2 as an intermediate compound. Further exposure to chlorine gas gives the yellow compound Tl4Cl6. Both the compounds contain Tl(I) and Tl(III) ions. The kinetic data obeyw 2=kt. The energy of activation was found to be 41.98 kcal mol−1. Thermo-gravimetry (TG) indicates that Tl2OCl2 decomposes into TlCl, Tl2O3 and chlorine gas above 250° C. In contrast, Tl4Cl6 is stable up to 420° C.
