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

Abstract: The crystal structure of TpsiTeI [Tpsi = tris(dimethylphenylsilyl)methyl], C₂₅H₃₃ISi₃Te, exhibits discrete molecules without TeI, TeTe or II intermolecular contacts. TpsiTeI was prepared by cleavage of its parent ditellane with iodine, and represents a kinetically stabilized alkanetellurenyl iodide with a very bulky substituent. The molecule possesses an angular C-Te-I arrangement [110.53 (7)°] with a Te-I single bond [2.7178 (7) Å].
