Synthesis and structures of M[N(TePPri2)2-Te,Te']n (n = 2, M = Zn, Cd, Hg; n = 3, M = Sb, Bi): the first ditelluroimidodiphosphinato p- and d-block metal complexes.
Reactions of Na[N(TePPri2)2] with the appropriate metal halide produce the air-stable complexes M[N(TePPri2)2-Te,Te']n (n = 2, M = Zn, Cd, Hg; n = 3, M = Sb, Bi), which adopt distorted tetrahedral (M = Zn, Cd, Hg) and octahedral (M = Sb, Bi) structures, respectively.
