Abstract

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₃Te₂ ⁺CF₃O₃S^-, the Te^IIatom of the cation and one O atom of the trifluoromethanesulfonate counter-ion form a close-to-linear Te - Te - O system, with a Te - Te - O angle of 172.3 (1)° and a Te - O distance of 2.816 (5) Å, which may suggest the presence of a three-centre-four-electron (3c-4e) bond. Secondary Te⋯O interactions [3.003 (4) and 3.016 (4) Å], involving the second Te^IIatom of the binuclear molecule, are also noted, resulting in a supramolecular layer in the bc plane.
