<jats:p><jats:bold>Preparation and Structure of Thallium(I) 2,4,6‐Tris(trifluoromethyl thiophenolate, a Compound with a Folded Polymeric Structure</jats:bold></jats:p><jats:p>The title compound, thallium(I) 2,4,6‐tris(trifluoromethyl)thiophenolate (1) has been prepared by using either TlOEt and (CF<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>C<jats:sub>6</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>SH or Tl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and (CF<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>)<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>C<jats:sub>6</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>SNa. A single X‐ray structural analysis shows a folded polymeric structure for <jats:bold>1</jats:bold>; the crystal lattice incorporates half of a 1,4‐dioxane molecule per Tl atom. This compound has a surprisingly high kinetic stability compared to known thallium(I) thiolates.</jats:p>
