Thallium(I) telluride, Tl2Te is a chemical compound of thallium and tellurium. It has a structure related to that of Tl5Te3.[2] This compound is not well characterised. Its existence has only recently been confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry.[1][3]
It will be toxic as both thallium and tellurium are highly toxic.
