Crystal and molecular structure of bis(NN′-dimethylformamidine) disulphide hexachlorotellurate
Abstract
The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray analysis using direct methods. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pna21 with a= 13.874, b= 13.822, c= 9.914 Å, Z= 4, and R= 0.029 for 1 648 independent reflections. It consists of discrete [(MeHN)2CS]22+ and TeCl62– ions. The co-ordination of the Te atom is distorted octahedral with the Te–Cl distances ranging from 2.420 to 2.740 Å.
