2,4,6,8-tetrakis benzenetellurolato

Bis[tetraethylammonium tetrakis[benzenetellurolato] ferrate(II) was obtained from sodium benzenetellurolate and the tetrachloroferrate(II) salt as a red solid. This compound reacted with sodium hydrogen tclluridc to give a complex with an Fc/Tc/benzenctcllurolatc ratio of 1 1 l3. 

Tris[tetraethylammonium] Tetrakis [benzenetellurolate(tellurido) ferrate]3 Under an atmosphere of nitrogen, 4.54 g (4 mmol) of bis[tetraethylammonium] tetrakis[benzenetellurolato]ferrate(II) dissolved in 40 m/ acetonitrile are dropped into a solution of sodium hydrogen telluride in 30 ml acetonitrile. (The sodium hydrogen telluride was prepared from 0.51 g (4.0 mmol) tellurium powder and a three-fold excess of sodium borohydride in ethanol, evaporation of the ethanol, and dissolution of the residue in 30 ml acetonitrile.)
