In this video I prepare a complex of thallium(III) iodide and rubidium iodide using thallium(I) iodide and elemental iodine. The reaction must be carried out in methanol; ethanol and other common organic solvents as well as water will decompose the TlI3 intermediate as well the final Rb{TlI4] product. Heat also disagrees with it, breaking it down to the starting compounds.
