Hydrolysis of 2-phenylazophenyltellurium trihalides: isolation of an unprecedented homometallic, discrete heptanuclear organotellurium oxidecluster

Abstract

Alkaline hydrolysis of RTeBr(3) (R = 2-phenylazophenyl) gave intramolecularly stabilized homometallic, heptanuclear organotellurium oxide cluster R(6)Te(7)O(11) (4) in good yield.
