The crystal structure of phenoxatellurine, C12H8OTe, was determined by X‐ray diffracto‐meter methods. The crystals are orthorhorhorhombic, P21 21 21, a = 6.036(1), b = 8.160(1), c = 20.717(5) Å at t = 22°. The positions of all atoms, including hydrogen, were found. The central ring is folded along the Te‐O axis (138°). Average bond distances are Te‐C = 2.098, C‐O = 1.397, C‐C = 1.382 Å. The phenyl rings are planar with a dihedral angle of 145°; C‐Te‐C = 89.4(3)°, C‐O‐C = 121.2(5)°. The structure is compared to those of phenoxathionine and pheuothiazine.
Bisphenoxatelluronium dinitrate is monoelinie, P21/c: a = 11.638(4), b = 28.266(8), c = 8.546(3) å, β = 119.73(2)°, z = 4 at t = 22°. All atoms including hydrogen were located. The two ring systems, I and II, are folded along their Te‐O axes, 147° and 163°, respectively. The average ring bond distances are: Te‐C = 2.091, C‐C = 1.377, C‐O = 1.370 Å. Each Te is bonded to one NO3 group, Te1‐ON1 = 2.485(5), Te2‐ON4 = 2.393(4) Å, and an oxygen bridge connects the ring systems, Te1‐OB = 1.966(4), Te2‐OB = 2.001(4) Å, Te1‐OB‐Te2 = 125.0(2)°. The bond distances and angles of the structure are compared to those of related compounds.
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.
