[2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃(Me₃Si)NTl]₄—A Covalent Thallium(I)‐Nitrogen Compound with Weak Arene–Thallium Interactions

Weak arene–thallium interactions and T1T1 contacts stabilize the molecular framework of the tetrameric title compound in the solid state. The picture on the right shows two monomeric units and the central T14 ring. The first covalent TlI compound can be prepared easily from LiN(SiMe3)(2,6-iPr2C6H3) and T1C1 in n-hexane.
