Synthesis and structural characterization of two exotic examples of aryltellurolate cluster compounds: [Ag4Hg(µ-Te Py-κTe)3(µ3-Te Py-κTe)2(µ3-Te Py-κN,Te)(PPh3)2] and [{Cu(phen)}3(µ3-TePh)3(CuCl)]⋅0.5C2H6O

Bis(2-pyridyl)ditellane as a precursor to CoII, CuI and CuII complex formation: structural characterization and photocatalytic studies

“…Pyridyltellurium moieties form an interesting class of ligands due to the different nature of the Te and N donor atoms, which can provide products with a wide structural diversity. 15–17 Generally, the reaction of diarylditellane with metal derivatives results in the Te–Te bond cleavage to yield tellurolato metal complexes. For example, Jungfer and co-workers lately described the reactions of Schiff base-substituted ditellane with Ni II , Pd II , Pt II and Re V phosphine complexes.…”
