title: 2-(Dimethyl-amino-meth-yl)phenyl phenyl telluride.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(17)NTe, is a heteroleptic Te, N-bidentate ligand having a short Te⋯N contact [2.8079 (16) Å] involving a secondary bonding inter-action between the amino N and Te(II) atoms. The Te-C bond [2.136 (2) Å] trans to the amino group is slightly elongated compared to the other Te-C bond [2.1242 (18) Å] due to the hypervalent inter-action. The bond angle for the trans N-Te-C atoms [164.92 (6)°] deviates significantly from linearity.
