T. M. Klapötke, B. Krumm and I. Schwab

Abstract: The crystal structure of Mes*TeI (Mes* = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl), C₁₈H₂₉ITe, exhibits discrete molecules without TeI, TeTe or II intermolecular contacts. The compound was prepared by cleavage of its parent ditellane with iodine, and represents a kinetically stabilized arenetellurenyl iodide with a very bulky substituent. The molecule possesses an angular C-Te-I arrangement [95.75 (8)°] with a Te-I single bond [2.7181 (6) Å].
