Abstract

Reactions of the dianion [Te(tBuN)P(μ-NtBu)2P(NtBu)Te]2− with I2 or [Cp*RhCl2]2 unexpectedly produced complexes of the novel spirocyclic Te5 dianion [{tBuN(Te)P(μ-NtBu)2P(Te)NtBu}2μ-Te]2−, which is N,N′-coordinated to two Na+ ions in the disodium derivative and adopts a Te,Te′,Te′′-bonding mode in the Cp*Rh complex.
