Abstract
The structure of the title compound has been determined by the heavy- atom method from 973 reflections, measured with a diffractometer, and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to R 0.030. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21, a = 8.69(1), b = 4.86(1), c = 10.14(2) Ǻ, β = 98.7(1)�, Z = 2. In the discrete molecules of the complex a tellurium(II) atom is bonded to one bivalent heptane-3,5-dione ligand through the α-carbon atoms [Te-C 2.184(6), 2.206(7) Ǻ; C-Te-C 89.7(3)�], forming a heterocyclic ring of chair conformation with the methyl substituents both in equatorial positions. The molecules are arranged in a zig-zag polymeric manner about the 21 axes at x = 0 and z = 0. All hydrogen atoms have been located.Keywords
