title: Chlorido{2-[(dimethyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κN,C}tellurium.
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C(9)H(12)ClNTe, contains isolated mol-ecules with no close Te⋯Cl inter-molecular contacts and has the same composition as a previously published structure [Engman et al. (2004 ▶). Phospho-rus Sulfur Silicon Relat. Elem.179, 285-292]. However, in this case, the compound has crystallized in a centrosymmetric space group, unlike the previously published structure which contained enanti-omerically pure chiral mol-ecules. In all other aspects, the metrical parameters are similar. The mol-ecules with a T-shaped coordination environment about the Te atom are linked into dimers by C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
