Abstract

The reactions of CuCl and tBuTeSiMe3 in the presence of phosphine ligands result in the formation of four new Cu/Te cluster complexes, [Cu18Te6(TetBu)6(PPh2Et)7], [Cu19Te6(TetBu)7(PEt3)8], [Cu27Te15(PiPr2Me)12] and [Cu58Te32(PtBu2 nBu)14], which have been structurally characterized by single crystal structural analysis. The former two clusters show a layer-type tellurium frameworks in which the copper atoms are asymmetrically spread. The latter two clusters possess a tellurium framework in a body-centered Te14-Frank-Kasper polyhedron or a Te28 polyhedron with four interstitial tellurium atoms and belong to mixed-valence Cu/Te compounds.
