[edit] Importance
Thallium(III) hydroxide is the conjugate base of Thallium(III) oxide.
This is what I wrote for Thallium(I) Oxide:
Thallium oxide probably has no use. A quick search suggests it may be used in batteries. This is fairly unlikely on a large scale as elements of this weight tend to be rare and hence expensive. I also doubt this claim because to work properly in a battery the stable isotopes would need to be isolated. If they were not separated (which is very expensive) Pb and Hg would be formed.
The compound could also be used as a catalyst allthough I have not done any research into this. As a chemist I need to note that there are tens to hundreds of thousands of compounds with no use and no significance. It would be good is the article was larger but I think at this point in time it fair to accept that there is no significance and hence I will remove the tag. Hobo 09:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- I have put the tag back, the article lacks importance, and that is the function of the tag. I there really is nothing encyclopedic to tell about the compound, consider an AfD. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
