Abstract: The organothallium phosphorus adduct (Me3 SiCH2)3Tl·P(SiMe3)3 (1) was prepared by combining (Me3SiCH2)3Tl and P(SiMe3)3 at room temperature. Compound 1 was characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR, partial elemental analysis, EI mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analysis, the first to be reported for a thallium-group 15 adduct. Crystal data for 1: trigonal system, space group P 31 with a =16.063(6) Å, c = 12.148(3) Å, Dcalcd = 1.315 g cm−3, and V = 2714.3(11) Å3 for Z =3. Refinement converged at R =0.042 (Rw =0.045). The Tl-P bond length in 1, previously unreported for compounds of this type, was found to be 1.922(3) Å.
