Thallium salen fluorescent tracers

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1650788
Thallium salens can be synthesized by reacting thallium alkoxide with a salen ligand. As examples of the invention, the dinuclear complexes Tl2-(salo-But) and Tl2-(saloPh-But) were synthesized by the reaction of thallium ethoxide with (H2-salo-But) or (H2-saloPh-But). These thallium salens may have applications as fluorescent tracers (or taggants) for subterranean fluid flows.
