About thallium(I) nitrate
Thallium(I) nitrate is a crystalline inorganic compound composed of thallium, nitrogen, and oxygen. As a semiconducting material, it exhibits electronic properties that distinguish it from typical ionic salts, making it a subject of interest for fundamental structural studies. Its existence across multiple reported structures highlights its complex polymorphic nature in the solid state. Although it is thermodynamically situated above the hull, it remains a notable example of thallium-based chemistry. Its role is primarily centered on laboratory research and specialized chemical synthesis where thallium precursors are required.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for thallium(I) nitrate, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
