Thallium(III) hydroxide, Tl(OH)₃, also known as thallic hydroxide, is a hydroxide of thallium. It is a white solid.

Thallium(III) hydroxide is a very weak base; it dissociates to give the thallium(III) ion, Tl³⁺, only in strongly acidic conditions.

Preparation

Thallium(III) hydroxide can be produced by the reaction of thallium(III) chloride with sodium hydroxide^[2] or the electrochemical oxidation of Tl⁺ in alkaline conditions.^[3]
