Abstract
The compounds [(C6H5)4As]2 TeCl4 (1), [(C2H5)4 N]2 TeBr4 · CH3CN (2), and [(C2H5)4N]2TeI4 (3) were prepared by the reaction of Te, X2 , and excess (C2H5)4NX (X = Br, I) in acetonitrile solution or by heating of [(C6H5)4 As]2TeCl6 , Te, and (C6H5)4 ASCl for several hours in the same solvent. The structures of 1-3 were determined from single crystal X-ray data. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 1061.8(2), b = 1614.2(3), c = 1341.7(3) pm, β = 94.21° and Z = 2; 2: tetragonal, P4/mmm, a = 1039.7(2), c = 690.5(1), Z = 1; 3: tetragonal, I4/mmm, a = 1061.7(2), c = 1342.8(4), Z = 2. In 1-3 Te(II) exhibits a square planar coordination. The Te -CI, Te -Br, and Te-I bond lengths were found to be 260.7 (mean), 275.3, and 298.5 pm, respectively.
