TeCle

The major product obtained from the reaction of TeCU with (McsSijsN is determined by the stoichiometry. When approximately equimolar amounts of the two reagents in THF are used the dimeric cluster TceNs (stabilized by coordination to four TeCU molecules) is obtained in high yields (Section 5.2.8). When the same reaction is carried out in acetonitrile with a molar ratio of 2 1, followed by treatment of the product with AsFs in SO2, [Tc4N2Cl8][AsF6]2 is obtained Section The dication [Tc4N2Cl8] in this salt is the dimer of the hypothetical tellurium(IV) imide [Cl3Te-N=TeCl]. ...

See also p. 776. There are, in addition, a fascinating series of bromoselenate(II) dianions based on fused planar SeBr4 units, e.g. Se3Brg ", Se4Bri4 ,... 

Tellurium and cadmium Electrodeposition of Te has been reported [33] in basic chloroaluminates the element is formed from the [TeCl ] complex in one four-electron reduction step, furthermore, metallic Te can be reduced to Te species. Electrodeposition of the element on glassy carbon involves three-dimensional nucleation. A systematic study of the electrodeposition in different ionic liquids would be of interest because - as with InSb - a defined codeposition with cadmium could produce the direct semiconductor CdTe. Although this semiconductor can be deposited from aqueous solutions in a layer-by-layer process [34], variation of the temperature over a wide range would be interesting since the grain sizes and the kinetics of the reaction would be influenced.
