Thallium(I) sulfate is mainly used in organic synthesis as an oxidizing agent. It can facilitate the oxidation of various organic compounds, such as alcohols, to corresponding aldehydes or ketones. This reaction is commonly known as the Reformatsky reaction.1 Additionally, thallium sulfate is employed in the preparation of thallium salts for use in analytical chemistry and research applications. It is also utilized in the production of luminous paints, photoelectric cells, and low-melting glasses.
Application
Thallium(I)sulfate is also utilized in:
the synthesis of alkylated cyclopentadienes and 7-substitutedbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives[1]
inthe preparation of thallium borate species such as TlBPH43
Until now the effect of thallium (Tl) on renal function has not been investigated systematically. Therefore, the dose (5, 10, 15, 20 mg Tl2SO4/kg body wt., intraperitoneally) and time-dependence of renal damage was investigated in diuresis experiments on conscious rats.

Thallium (Tl) is a toxic heavy metal and its exposure to the human body causes physiological and biochemical changes due to its interference with potassium-dependent biological reactions. A high-resolution (1)H NMR spectroscopy based metabonomic approach has been applied for investigating
Altered testicular enzyme patterns in rats after long-term exposure to thallium sulphate.

The effect of Tl2SO4 (Tl, 2 mg/100 g b.wt.) on renal amino acid excretion and plasma amino acid composition was investigated in 10- and 55-day-old rats. Tl decreased glomerular filtration rate only in adult rats. On the other hand, the
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
