Thallium continued preparation

The redox properties of thallium are important in preparative organic and organometallic/inorganic chemistry. For this reason, studies of redox behavior and the thermodynamics and kinetics of complexing processes are likely to remain relevant. The employment of the TF ion as a probe for in biological systems will no doubt continue, because of the easy detection of the former. For the same reason, thallium(III) can be used as a representative for several other metal ions in solution.
