Chlorido{2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-phenyl-κ 2N,C}tellurium

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C 9H 12ClNTe, contains isolated molecules with no close Te···Cl intermolecular contacts and has the same composition as a previously published structure [Engman et al. (2004). Phosphorus Sulfur Silicon Relat. Elem. 179, 285-292]. However, in this case, the compound has crystallized in a centrosymmetric space group, unlike the previously published structure which contained enantiomerically pure chiral molecules. In all other aspects, the metrical parameters are similar. The molecules with a T-shaped coordination environment about the Te atom are linked into dimers by C-H···Cl interactions.
