Molecular aggregates, zig-zag 2D-stairs, -ribbons and 3D-supramolecular networks of cyclic telluranes assisted by intermolecular Te ⋯ Cl and Te ⋯ Br secondary bonding
Te ⋯ Cl and Te ⋯ Br secondary bonds assisted molecular aggregates zig-zig 2D-stairs, -ribbons of cyclic telluranes in 1–3 and 3D-supramolecular networks in 4 and are described after 5. The supramolecular associations of these cyclic telluranes 1–5 are compared with the supramolecular associations in their precursors and in acyclic telluranes (C4H8TeCl2,C4H8TeBr2,C5H10TeBr2,C8H8TeCl2.C8H8TeBr2).

Results and discussion
The complexes (1–5) have been synthesized by metathetical reactions of (C4H8TeI2 [18], C5H10TeI2 [19a], C8H8TeI2 [20]) with freshly prepared silver salts AgX (X=Cl, Br) or [Et4N]Cl. Metathetical reactions with [Et4N]Cl have not been so far reported in case of organotellurium iodides. Moreover it is interesting to note that this method affords X-ray quality crystals, which are not obtained when exchange is carried out with silver salts. Previously solids of C4H8TeCl2 and C4H8TeBr2 have been
Experimental
1,4-diiodobutane, 1,5-diiodopentane, α,α′-dibromoxylene, Te metal and NaI were procured from Aldrich and used as such. 2-Methoxyethanol, benzene and acetone were purified and dried by standard procedures. The (precursors) cyclic telluranes viz. C4H8TeI2 [18] (reaction of 1,4-diiodobutane with Te metal in the temperature range 130–140 °C), C5H10TeI2 [19a] (reaction of 1,5-diiodopentane with Te metal at 150 °C) and C8H8TeI2 [20] (reaction of α,α′-dibromoxylene, Te metal and NaI in

Te⋯N secondary-bonding interactions in tellurium crystals: Supramolecular aggregation patterns and a comparison with their lighter congeners
2022, Coordination Chemistry ReviewsCitation Excerpt :As the magnitude of the σ-hole increases with the polarisation of the element it is at a maximum for tellurium among the Group 16 elements. For this reason, it is not surprising that secondary-bonding interactions in crystals involving tellurium have long captured the attention of crystallographers in terms of supramolecular association and the influence of this upon the tellurium atom’s coordination geometry [23–40]. While the foregoing is focussed upon crystallographic studies, it should be noted that secondary-bonding interactions formed by tellurium have also be observed in solution [41,42] and even in the gas-phase [43].
Synthesis of symmetric N,O-donor ligands derived from pyridoxal (vitamin B6): DFT studies and structural features of their binuclear chelate complexes with the oxofilic uranyl and vanadyl(V) cations
2014, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The O3 atom of the uranyl cation acts as acceptor for two hydrogen bonds from the hydrogens of the methyl groups of the neighboring dimethyl sulfoxide groups. These type of atomic interactions allow us to link this structure with species of three-dimensional stairs (Fig. 3, symmetry transformations used to generate equivalent atoms: (#) 1 + x, y, z) [29]. The intermolecular bonds and distances showed in Table 3 for the atoms CH⋯O3(#) support the evidences of growth of the supramolecular assembly of complex 1 along the crystallographic plane ac (see Fig. 3).

2012, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :In the complexes 4 and 5 this sulfur atom also enters into the formation of intermolecular Te⋯S secondary bonds and these intermolecular Te⋯S secondary bonds generate tetrameric- and trimeric supramolecular associations of 4 and 5, respectively (Figs. 3 and 5; Table 3). Normally, the organotellurium(IV) complexes possessing intramolecular bonds [38,39] discourage the formation of intermolecular bonds and vice versa [40–48]. The supramolecular associations of complexes 4 and 5 contain both the intramolecular- and intermolecular Te⋯S secondary bonds and thus possess more structure plasticity which makes them unique and possible suitable candidates for (a) nonlinear optics [49–51] and (b) solid state electrical conductivity [52].
