Abstract
The formation and the crystal and molecular structure of (mu -oxo)bis(chlor o(methyl)thienyltellurium(IV)), [Me(Th)TeCl](2)O, are described. The compou nd is orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, a = 1893.30(2), b = 891.96(2), c = 96 6.24(5) pm, Z = 4. The tellurium atom shows trigonal bi pyramidal coordinat ion with chlorine and the bridging oxygen atoms in axial, and methyl and th ienyl groups in equatorial positions. The two close intermolecular Te(1). . . Cl(1) contacts expand the coordination sphere around tellurium to an alm ost regular octahedron.
