Synthesis and X-ray investigation of novel Fe and Mn phenyltellurenyl-halide complexes: (CO)3FeBr2(PhTeBr), (η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(PhTeI2) and CpMn(CO)2(PhTeI)

Pt, Pd and Hg Complexes with Potentially Tridentate Telluroether Ligands

“…This results in Te ··· I distances of 3.267(1) and 3.335(1) Å and may indicate interactions between these atoms, which finally strengthen the Pd–Te bonds. Similar findings have been reported recently for manganese and iron complexes 38…”

“…Free phenyltellurenyl iodide exists as a tetrameric aggregate with a central, almost planar Te 4 ring, which is formed by secondary Te ··· Te interactions between 3.153(1) and 3.181(1) Å 34. Monomeric PhTeI building blocks are usually stabilized by donor ligands such as phosphines or thiones,35–37 or by coordination to metal ions 38,39…”

Metal-metal bond cleavage in [Cp(CO)2Fe-Fe(CO)2Cp] under the action of organotellurium(IV)tribromides

“…Recently we have demonstrated that reactions of aryltellurium(IV) trihalides (PhTeX 3 , where X = Br, I) with Fe(CO) 5 [1,2] or Ru 3 (CO) 12 [3]) could produce aryltellurenyl bromide (PhTeBr) ligands coordinated with metal carbonyls (Scheme 1).…”

“…From the other side, the bromination of CpFe(CO) 2 TePh resulted in CpFe(CO) 2 (TeBr 2 Ph) (I) characterized by single crystal XRD analysis [4]. As a part of our ongoing interest in the coordination chemistry of organotellu rium halides we have investigated the possibility of the oxidative addition of organotellurium tribromides to the complexes containing metal-metal bond, particu larly to the dimeric cyclopentadienyl iron dicarbonyl [CpFe(CO) 2 ].…”

Regio- and stereo-specific addition of organotellurium trihalides to ferrocenylacetylene: Molecular and crystal structure of (Z)-halovinyl organotellurium dihalides

“…As a part of our interest in the coordination chemistry of organotellurium halides [5,6] and recent advances in the investigation of unusual behavior of ferrocenyl acetylene in reactions with metal-carbonyls [7,8], we studied the interaction of ferrocenyl acetylene with some organotellurium trihalides.…”
