Ligand Chemistry of Tellurium

Abstract

Potentially bidentate tellurium ligands having the molecular formula ArTe(CH2) nTeAr, (Ln), n=1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10  and o-C6H4,(CH2TeAr) , (L) are prepared by reacting ArTeNa with 1, n-dibromoalkanes or with o-C6H4(CH2Br)2.  Changing the reactant ratio from 2:1 to 1:2 resulted In a telluronium salt only in the case of 1,5-dibromopentane. The bromination of some of the bis-tellurides resulted in bis-tribromidesdue to the rupture of the tellurium-aryl bond. The 13C N.M.R. spectra are particularly useful in characterisation of these ligands...
