Novel polyselenides and polytellurides have been prepared by means of the stabilizing tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl group; [(Me3Si)3C]2Te3, the first compound containing a three tellurium atom chain, crystallizes as a trans-rotamer with a bonding angle of 103.8(1)" at the central tellurium atom and Te-Te bond distances of 2.710(1) A.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
