First-Principles Calculations of Atomic and Electronic Properties of T1 and In on Si（111）

The atomic and electronic structures of T1 and In on Si（111） surfaces are investigated using the firstprinciples total energy calculations. Total energy optimizations show that the energetically favored structure is 1/3 ML T1 adsorbed at the T4 sites on Si（111） surfaces. The adsorption energy difference of one T1 adatom between （√3 × √3） and （1 × 1） is less than that of each In adatom. The DOS indicates that TI 6p and Si 3p electrons play a very important role in the formation of the surface states. It is concluded that the bonding of TI adatoms on Si（111） surfaces is mainly polar covalent, which is weaker than that of In on Si（111）. So T1 atom is more easy to be migrated than In atom in the same external electric field and the structures of T1 on Si（111） is prone to switch between （√3 × √3） and （1 × 1）.     

Über die strahlenchemische Zersetzung von Dialkylthalliumionen in wäßriger Lösung

Dialkylthalliumionen werden in verdünnter wāβriger Lösung radiolytisch zu Thallium(I)-ionen und Kohlenwasserstoffen zersetzt. Auf Grund von Radikalfängereinflüssen wird ein Reaktionsmechanismus vorgeschlagen, nach dem Alkane durch Hydrolyse eines Zwischenproduktes der Polaronenreaktion entwickelt werden, während OH-Radikale Wasserstoffabstraktion und anschlieβende Olefinabspaltung bewirken. Die Restfragmente spalten Tl⁺ ab und rekombiniern oder werden durch Sauerstoff zu H₂O₂ und Carbonylverbindungen oxydiert.     

Aufbau und Erprobung von Flächenstrahlungsquellen als Sekimdärnormale zur Prüfung von Kontaminationsmeßgeraten für Betastrahler und zur Beglauhigung von Flächenstrahlungsquellen als Normale

Zur Prüfung von Kontaminationsmeβgeräten und zur Beglaubigung von Flächenstrahlungsquellen als Normale wurden im Deutscheti Amt für Meβwesen und Warenprüfung zwei Sälze von Flächenstrahlungsquellen mil den Betastrahlen ⁹⁰Sr/⁹⁰Y, ²⁰¹Tl und ⁶⁰Co angefertigt. Durch das dabei verwendete Herstellungsverfahren, bei dem je ein Tropfen rudioakliver Lösung in ein Feld eines vorgegebenen Rasters gebracht wurde, konnte eine sehr gleichmäβige Verteilung der akliven Substanz über die Quellenfläche erreicht und eine unmiltelbare Bestimmung der Flächenaktivitätswerte ermöglicht werden. Der besondere Aufbau der Flächenstrahlungsquellen geslatlet es, auf einfache Weise Meβfehler bei Kontaminationsme βgeräten, die durch das Material der Unterlage, auf dem sich die aktive Substanz befindet, und durch die Dicke der akliven Schicht hervorgerufen tcerden, zu erfassen oder zu eliminieren.     

Polybismuthide Anions as Ligands: The Homoleptic Complex [(Bi7)Cd(Bi7)]4− and the Ternary Cluster [(Bi6)Zn3(TlBi5)]4−

We present the results from a reactivity study of the binary anion (TlBi₃)^2? towards Group 12 metal compounds MPh₂ (M=Zn, Cd, Hg) to gain access to coordination compounds of polycyclic polypnictide molecules such as Bi₇^3? or Bi₁₁^3?. The coordination chemistry of these polybismuthide cages has been unprecedented to date, while it has been known for a long time for the lighter Group 15 anions Pn₇^3? (Pn=P, As, Sb). The use of (TlBi₃)^2?, previously shown to release Tl under certain conditions in situ, resulted in the formation of the first heterometallic polyanion in which a nortricyclane‐type polybismuthide coordinates a transition‐metal atom, [(Bi₇)Cd(Bi₇)]^4?. Reactions with the lighter Group 12 metal precursor yielded the uncommon ternary cluster [(Bi₆)Zn₃(TlBi₅)]^4?, most likely representing a reaction intermediate, and at the same time hinting at the formation of the nortricyclane‐shaped cage. Quantum‐chemical studies provide deeper insight into the stability trends of the [(E₇)M(E₇)]^4? anion family and reveal a complex bonding situation in [(Bi₆)Zn₃(TlBi₅)]^4?, which features both localized and multi‐center bonding.     

Crystal structure of penthylenediammonium pentachlorothallate(III)

The penthylenediammonium pentachlorothallate(III) salt is orthorhombic with the following unit cell dimensions: a = 7.696(3) Å, b = 13.2890(17) Å, and c = 13.503(18) Å, space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z = 4. The structure was solved by Patterson methods and refined to a final R value of 0.0387 for 1991 observed reflections. The structure consists of penthylenediammonium cations and polynuclear anions in which slightly distorted [TlCl₆]^3– octahedral sharing two vertices are interconnected into chains. These chains are themselves interconnected by means of the N–HCl bonds originating from the [NH₃(CH₂)₅NH₃]²⁺ entities forming a three-dimensional network.     

Thallium fractionation in polluted environmental samples using a modified BCR three-step sequential extraction procedure and its determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Determination of thallium in polluted environmental samples and their extracts obtained by a modified BCR three-step sequential extraction procedure was used to study thallium distribution and mobility in the monitored polluted area affected by acidification (Šobov, Central Slovakia). The results of fractionation applied to 5 soil certified reference materials and 14 environmental samples show that the vast majority of thallium occurred in the residual fraction. This means that highly toxic thallium is strongly entrapped in the parent rock materials remains immobile and its environmental toxicity is therefore reduced. The limit of detection for thallium in the studied fractions was lower than 0.050 mg kg⁻¹, the precision (RSD) of the ultratrace determination of thallium in the studied fractions was better than 17 % and the accuracy of the used method was verified by analyzing certified reference materials. Presented at the XVIIIth Slovak Spectroscopic Conference, Spišská Nová Ves, 15–18 October 2006.

Tl2CuAsO4 – ein Zwischenprodukt bei der Oxidation von Tl/Cu/As-Legierungen im Sauerstoffstrom

Tl₂CuAsO₄ – an Intermediate Phase in the Oxidation of Tl/Cu/As Alloys with Oxygen Waxy, honey-jellow single crystals of the new compound Tl₂CuAsO₄ (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 860.1(1) pm, b = 533.94(7) pm, c = 1200.1(2) pm, β = 98.10(1)°, Z = 4) were prepared as an intermediate product of the oxidation process in the reaction of Tl/Cu/As-alloys with oxygen. Their structure was determined from IPDS data (w2R = 0.071 for 1271 F² values and 74 parameters). The structure contains an isolated [Cu₂As₂O₈]^4– group consisting of two AsO₄-tetrahedra connected by two Cu⁺ ions with an approximately linear O–Cu–O coordination. The [Cu₂As₂O₈]^4– groups are linked to a threedimensional framework by thallium(I) ions which show an hemispheric coordination sphere of oxygen ions indicating the stereochemical activity of the Tl⁺ lone pair.
