Tellurium dithiocyanate complexes

The group VIB cyanides, thiocyanates and selenocyanates and their complexes with species such as thiourea have been described.1,45 For example, the tellurium dithiocyanate complex has been prepared45 by treatment of tellurium dichloride or tellurium dibromide with ammonium thiocyanate. It seems that little information exists on the preparation of tellurocyanates and there is a sparsity of data on polonium derivatives. Indeed, the only known cyanide of polonium is probably a salt of the quadrivalent element.1...

Tellurium dithiocyanate is known only in the form of its yellow complexes with thioureas. These complexes were prepared from bis[thiourea]tellurium dihalides and potassium or ammonium thiocyanate in aqueous or methanolic media. 

Tellurium pseudohaUdes, such as the dicyanide [14453-24-8] Te(CN)2, the dithiocyanate [83543-04-8] Te(SCN)2, and thiourea complexes with Te(SCN)2, have been prepared. These are similar to the haUdes in properties.
