Abstract

Reactions of the dianion [Te(^tBuN)P(μ-N^tBu)₂P(N^tBu)Te]²⁻ with I₂ or [Cp*RhCl₂]₂ unexpectedly produced complexes of the novel spirocyclic Te₅ dianion [{^tBuN(Te)P(μ-N^tBu)₂P(Te)N^tBu}₂μ-Te]²⁻, which is N,N′-coordinated to two Na⁺ ions in the disodium derivative and adopts a Te,Te′,Te′′-bonding mode in the Cp*Rh complex.
