Abstract

Elemental Te inserts across the C–I bond of in situ generated iodo derivatives of 1,3-dibromopropane, (trimethylsilyl)methyl iodide, benzyl chloride and m-nitro-benzyl bromide to give rise the , (Me3SiCH2)2TeI2, (C6H5CH2)2TeI2, and (m-NO2-C6H4CH2)2TeI2 molecules in good yield respectively. These molecules are characterised by 1H NMR and elemental analysis techniques. Among these (C6H5CH2)2TeI2 and (m-NO2-C6H4CH2)2TeI2 molecules are also characterized by single-crystal X-ray studies. In the packing diagram of (C6H5CH2)2TeI2, there are intermolecular Te⋯π-phenyl interaction (3.768 Å) between the tellurium atoms and phenyl rings of adjacent molecule. The crystal packing of (m-NO2–C6H4CH2)2TeI2, displays an interesting supramolecular synthon. This synthon is based on reciprocal several C–H⋯O, C–H⋯I Hydrogen bonding interactions along with Te⋯I Secondary bonding interactions.
