Complexes with ''naked'' main group elements acting as ligands continu
e to attract a great deal of interest. Reported herein are the synthes
es and structures of a telluride and a ditelluride derivative of perme
thyltitanocene and their interconversion. The eta(2)-ditelluride is a
rare example of this type of complex and may be employed as a ''Te-2''
transfer agent when treated with some alkyl halides.
