The structure of the title TeIV complex, C13H19BrN2OS4Te.045(CH2Cl2), is pentagonal bipyramidal with four S atoms [Te—S 2.623 (1)–2.717 (1) Å] and the Br atom [Te—Br 2.890 (1) Å] in equatorial positions. The p-methoxyphenyl group is axial [Te—C 2.145 (3) Å] and the second axial position seems to be occupied by a dithiocarbamate group of a neighbouring molecule acting as a π-ligand [TeC 3.751 (3) Å, C—TeC 170.2 (1)°], so that molecules are joined into centrosymmetric associations by this secondary coordination.
