title: Formation of Ga2Te2 and M3Te3(M = Ga, In) rings from reactions of sodium ditelluroimidodiphosphinate with Group 13 halides.
abstract: Metathetical reactions of Na[N(iPr2PTe)2] with Group 13 metal halides produce the telluride complexes {Ga(mu-Te)[iPr2PNiPr2PTe]}2(2) and {M(mu-Te)[N(iPr2PTe)2]}3, M = In (3) and Ga (4), which contain central Ga2Te2 and M3Te3 rings, respectively.
