Thallides are compounds containing anions composed of thallium. There are several thallium atoms in a cluster, and it does not occur as a single Tl− in thallides.[1][2] They are a subclass of trielides,[2] which also includes gallides and indides.[3] A more general classification is polar intermetallics, as clusters contain delocalized multicentre bonds.[4] Thallides were discovered by Eduard Zintl in 1932.[5]
Mixed anion compounds with thallides include halides (bromides and chlorides),[6] oxides,[7] and tetrelates (silicate, germanate).[8]
