The reaction of Ph2Te with [RuCl2(CO)(3)](2) affords a monomeric ruthenium
complex [RuCl2(CO)(2)(TePh2)(2)]. The X-ray structure shows the formation o
f the trans(Ph2Te), cis(Cl), cis(CO) isomer. The C-13 NMR and Te-125 NMR sp
ectra of the complex an reported. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights
