“…For TeCl 4 , its dipole moment in benzene solution,29, 30 its solubility in nonpolar solvents, its nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrum,31 and its Raman and infrared spectra32, 33 have all been presented as evidence for its molecular nature. However, molten TeCl 4 conducts electricity,34 whereas the Raman and far‐infrared spectra on molten, solid, and dissolved TeCl 4 have been most often interpreted as being consistent with the ionic formulation [TeCl 3 ] + Cl − . [TeCl 3 ] + has been isolated in the form of a complex with halide acceptors, such as [TeCl 3 ] + [AlCl 4 ] − 35, 36.…”
