  • Although this is the $B24$ structure defined in Strukturbericht, it is not the currently accepted structure for TlF. See (Berastegui, 2000) and the TlF-II page. The current structure is a slight distortion of rock salt ($B1$).

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{a_{1}}&=&\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{2}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}\\\mathbf{a_{3}}&=&\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}} \end{array}\]

$\mathbf{B_{1}}$ = $0$ = $0$ (4a) F I
$\mathbf{B_{2}}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{1}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \, \mathbf{a}_{3}$ = $\frac{1}{2}a \,\mathbf{\hat{x}}+\frac{1}{2}b \,\mathbf{\hat{y}}+\frac{1}{2}c \,\mathbf{\hat{z}}$ (4b) Tl I
