Cleavage of Bulky Diaryl Ditellurides with Bromine and Iodine; Crystal Structure of Et4N+ 2,4,6-(i-C3H7)3C6H2TeI-2Bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) ditelluride (1a), obtained from 2,4,6-triisopropylphenylmagnesium bromide with tellurium followed by oxidation with oxygen, and bis(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) ditelluride (1b) react with equimolar amounts of bromine and iodine to provide new monomeric arenetellurenyl halides 2,4,6-R3C6H2TeX (2a, b, 3a, b: R = i-C3H7, t-C4H9; X = Br, I). Both tellurenyl iodides are thermally more stable than the corresponding bromides. Green 2,4,6-(i-C3H7)3C6H2TeI (3a) reacts with Et4N+I- to give the stable, red adduct Et4N+ 2,4,6-(i-C3H7)3C6H2TeI-2 (4a). An X-ray crystal structure determination of 4a revealed a T-shaped structure of the hypervalent aryldiiodotellurate(II) anion. Iodide-ion transfer between aryldiiodotellurate(II) and arenetellurenyl iodide is a fast process (1H-NMR time scale). 125Te-NMR data of this anion and of tellurenyl halides are compared with those of the ditellurides and of lithium benzenetellurolates (LiTeR·(THF)x).
