Abstract

A novel family of organochalcogens, Ph5TeX (X = Cl, Br), was readily obtained by the halogenation of Ph5TeLi, which was prepared by reaction of 5 equiv of PhLi with 1 equiv of TeCl4 or TeBr4; Ph5TeF was obtained by treating the bromide with KF. The Te atom is in the highest oxidation state, Te(VI), and is covalently bonded to the halogen atom, in contrast to the ionic bonding in R3TeIVX.
