Bromo- and chloro-substituted tellurium(II) dithiocarbamate complexes
were prepared by the reaction of iododiethylditlaiocarbamatotellurium(
II), dissolved in dichloromethane, with a suspension of their respecti
ve silver halide. The structure determination reveals the orthorhombic
crystals of the complexes to be isomorphous, having halide-bridged po
lymeric structures. The polymeric chain adopts a helical configuration
with the period of the helix being the length of the a-axis. Each tel
lurium has a TeS(2)X(2) coordination, The Te-Br and Te-Cl distances ob
served in the complexes are 2.867(3) and 2.686(2) Angstrom, respective
ly and this structure is similar to that of Te{(C2H5)(2)NCS2}I. Copyri
