The complex-ion chemistry of thallium(I)

Abstract

The stability constants of a number of thallium(I) complexes have been measured using spectrophotometric and titration methods. The shifts of proton and phosphorus nuclear resonances of ligands on binding to thallium(I) are described. From these data inferences are drawn as to the strength and mode of binding of thallium(I) to different ligand atoms. The importance of this work for the study of potassium activated biological systems is stressed.
