The crystal and molecular structure of o-formylphenyltellurenyl bromide has been determined by threedimensional X-ray analysis. Crystals are monoclinic (P21/c) and the unit cell has the dimensions a= 12-533, b = 5"839, c = 11.706 ~ and fl= 102.48 °. The refinement of the structure by Fourier and blockdiagonal matrix least-squares methods has led to a final R value of 0"081. The molecule has a planar cis configuration. The coordination of the Te(II) atom is described with the model proposed by Foss. The existence of a Te-O bond is discussed.
