Thallium(I) carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula Tl₂ CO₃. It is a white, water-soluble salt. It has no or very few commercial applications. It is produced by treatment of thallous hydroxide with CO₂.^[3]

Safety

Like other thallium compounds, it is extremely toxic, with an oral median lethal dose of 21 mg/kg in mice. Due to its toxicity, it is listed in the United States List of Extremely Hazardous Substances as of 2007.^[4]
