Organometallic synthesis of II-VI semiconductors. 1. Formation and decomposition of bis(organotelluro)mercury and bis(organotelluro)cadmium compounds

Reaction of mercury (II) dibromide with tris(n-butyl) phosphine telluride: Formation of an unusual (Hg Te)3 ring system

“…Thus, PdTe was synthesized by the reaction between Pd(PPh,), and triethylphosphine telluride (Et,PTe) [3] and the reaction between Et,PTe and elemental mercury yielded HgTe [4]. Because of our interest in semiconducting thin films of metal chalcogenides, we have undertaken a study of the reactions between phosphine tellurides and metal salts in nonaqueous media.…”

Synthesis, Spectral and Antimicrobial Studies of Some d10 Metal-Ions Ditellura Tetraazamacrocyclic Complexes

“…The macrocyclic complexes are also significant in coordination chemistry due to their biological activity [5][6][7] , applications in biometallic activation and catalysis 8 , as models for biochemically important proteins and enzymes [9][10][11][12][13] and as single source precursors in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition processes [14][15][16] . Coordination behavior of organometallic compounds containing bidentate ligands has been the subject of substantial studies in recent years [17][18][19] .…”

Supramolecular Arrangements in Organotellurium Compounds via Te···Halogen Contacts

“…Tellurium is a chemical element showing this kind of soft interactions, also known as secondary bonding (Alcock, 1972). Organotellurium compounds have been investigated mainly in organic synthesis (Singh & Sharma, 2000;Petragnani & Stefani, 2005), but also in medicine (Ba et al, 2010), in materials science (Steigerwald & Sprinkle, 1987;Hails et al, 2001) and recently in polymerization processes (organotellurium-mediated living radical polymerization (TERP)) (Kitayama et al, 2010) and to protect materials (lubricants, polymers) from oxidation (Shanks et al, 2006). The type of the Te···X interaction (and the secondary bonding interaction) and its relevance in the tellurium coordination polyhedra have been discussed (Alcock, 1972;ZukermanSchpector & Haiduc, 2001).…”
