Reaction of TlR2X, TlX3 and ^- with RLi (R=C6F5 or C6Cl5) leads to derivatives containing anions of the types ^-, ^- or ^3-.Reactions of TlCl3 with ^- lead to <(μ-Cl)(TlR2Cl)2>^- (R=C6F5) or ^- (R=C6Cl5) while addition of X^- (X=Br^- or SCN^-) to Tl(C6Cl5)3 gives ^-.All the novel anions were isolated as salts of bulky cations (Me4N, Bu4N, PPN or Ph3BzP).
