CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF DIMETHYLTELLURIUM TETRAIODIDE, (CH3)2TEI4

(CH3)2TeI4 crystallizes in the space group PI with a = 7.460 (3) Å,b= 12.600 (5) Å,c = 6.592 (3) Å, α = 82.83 (3)°, P = 103.54 (3)°, γ = 106.45 (3)°, V= 576.6 Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure was determined with diffractometer data and refined to R1 = 0.061 using anisotropic thermal parameters for all atoms. The compound is an adduct of (CH3)2TeI2 with I2 linked by intermolecular I-I bonds and weak Te-I bonds and does not contain Te(VI). © 1979, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
