[TeSe3]2− and [TeSe2]2− as synthons
Abstract
The [Au2(TeSe2)2]2− anion has been prepared from the reaction of [TeSe3]2− with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 and from the reaction of [TeSe2]2− with AuCN in DMF. Reaction of [TeSe2]2− with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 leads ultimately to the [Au2(Te2)2]2− anion.
