Coagulation and stabilization of sterically functionalized magnetite nanoparticles in an organic solvent with different technical polymers

Single crystalline zinc tin oxide (ZTO) nanocrystallites were prepared at room temperature through association with a peptide-containing bolaamphiphile molecule. The bolaamphiphile molecules self-assembled to form spherical structures with creation of ZTO nanocrystallites inside. ZTO nanocrystallite synthesis was achieved only when the bolaamphiphile molecule was present, while a mixture of amorphous Sn and Zn precipitates was formed in the absence of the bolaamphiphile molecule. The bolaamphiphile molecule is thought to stabilize the Zn(2+) and Sn(4+) precursor ions by ligation and to induce subsequent condensation forming crystalline ZTO. The ZTO formation was achieved only at a strong acidic condition that promotes dissociation and ionization of Zn and Sn precursors and represses formation of ZnO and H(2)SnO(3). The prepared ZTO nanocrystallites had almost the same band gap energy as ZTO nanoparticles prepared by the conventional hydrothermal process. The outcomes of this study indicate that the controlled mineralization of metal precursor ions in a peptide-containing bolaamphiphile molecule suspension can be an alternative method to synthesize metal oxides at room temperature, while maintaining their crystalline structure and optoelectrical properties.     

Preparation and properties of solution-processed zinc tin oxide films from a new organic precursor

Transparent,smooth and dense zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin films have been successfully produced by using a new precursor solution,zinc acetate and tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate mixed with 2-ethanolamine in methoxyethanol.The ZTO films have been prepared by spin-coating,followed by thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere.The morphology,composition,crystallinity and band gap energy (Eg) of the ZTO thin films have been characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM),Atomic Emission Spectrometry (AES),X-ray Diffraction (...

Anxiolytic Effect of Two Tobacco Essential Oils (Nicotiana tabacum Linn.) on Mice

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum Linn.) is a famous traditional herb used in folk medicine. The essential oils of tobacco have been demonstrated in modern studies to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, while its anxiolytic effect has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anxiolytic effect of Yunnan tobacco essential oil (YTO) and Zimbabwe tobacco essential oil (ZTO) on mice. The constituents of YTO and ZTO were analyzed by GC/MS. The anxiolytic effect of YTO and ZTO (0.1%, 1%, and 10%, v/v) on male ICR mice was evaluated in the light–dark box test (LDB) and the elevated plus maze test (EPM) test via inhalation and transdermal administration. After the behavioral tests, salivary corticosterone levels in mice were measured. The behavioral analysis showed that the administration of both YTO and ZTO elevated the time that the mice spent in the light chamber in the LDB test compared to the untreated control. In the EPM test, YTO and ZTO increased the time spent in open arms and the number of entries into the open arms. In addition, both YTO and ZTO significantly decreased salivary corticosterone levels in mice (p ≤ 0.001). In summary, our results demonstrated that inhalation and transdermal administration of both YTO and ZTO showed anxiolytic effect on male ICR mice.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of Zn2SnO4 nanorods in the diameter regime of sub-5 nm and their properties

Single crystalline Zn(2)SnO(4) (ZTO) nanorods 2-4 nm in diameter and around 20 nm in length were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process with use of hydrazine hydrate as an alkaline mineralizer instead of NaOH or NH(3).H(2)O. By analyzing the UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, the optical band gap (E(g)) of the nanorods was found to be 3.87 eV, which indicates a blue shift of 0.27 eV from that of bulk ZTO (3.6 eV). In situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction was employed to study the thermal expansion coefficient and the variation of lattice parameter with temperature of the product. Furthermore, we discussed the chemical mechanism and key factors to the hydrothermal formation of the sub-5 nm ZTO nanorods.     

The study of the emulsification efficiency of Aerosil and HPMCAS type and their ratio to stabilize emulsions of zedoary turmeric oil

The solid particles or polymers were often solely used to stabilizing emulsions, as an interesting alternative to classical used emulsifiers. However, a united use of them and the relation between them at stabilizing emulsions were little reported. Our previous study showed that the preparation of microspheres containing zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO, as an oily drug), Aerosil200 particles and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS). ZTO emulsions were produced when the microspheres were immersed into aqueous media and disaggregated under gentle agitation, and were stabilized by Aerosil200 particles and HPMCAS. Nevertheless, more work needs to be carried out to explain the factor affecting emulsification efficiency of microspheres, which will facilitate the design of the microsphere formulation. Thus, in this study, we dealt with a system consisting of Aerosil, HPMCAS, ZTO and water. To predict the best ratio of Aerosil/polymer and thus obtain the best satisfying ZTO emulsions, the bonding studies were carried out with Aerosil and HPMCAS. A series of emulsions was prepared and the stability and droplet size of resultant emulsions were investigated. The results indicated two kinds of HPMCAS (HPMCAS-LG and -HG) showed the different affinity for Aerosil200, which resulted in the unlike capability to stabilize emulsions when at the same Aerosil/polymer ratio. The stability and droplet size of emulsions increased on increasing the ratio Aerosil to polymer, and the best ratio was predictable from the Langumuir-fit of the adsorption isotherms. Appropriate hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity with Aerosil particles were very important to stabilizing the ZTO emulsions.     

Enhanced Lifetime and Photostability with Low‐Temperature Mesoporous ZnTiO3/Compact SnO2 Electrodes in Perovskite Solar Cells

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 25 % mainly have SnO₂ or TiO₂ as electron‐transporting layers (ETLs). Now, zinc titanate (ZnTiO₃, ZTO) is proposed as mesoporous ETLs owing to its weak photo‐effect, excellent carrier extraction, and transfer properties. Uniform mesoporous films were obtained by spinning coating the ZTO ink and annealed below 150 °C. Photovoltaic devices based on Cs_0.05FA_0.81MA_0.14PbI_2.55B_r0.45 perovskite sandwiched between SnO₂‐mesorporous ZTO electrode and Spiro‐OMeTAD layer achieved the PCE of 20.5 %. The PSCs retained more than 95 % of their original efficiency after 100 days lifetime test without being encapsulated. Additionally, the PSCs retained over 95 % of the initial performance when subjected at the maximum power point voltage for 120 h under AM 1.5 G illumination (100 mW cm^?2), demonstrating superior working stability. The application of ZTO provides a better choice for ETLs of PSCs.     

Study of the preparation of sustained-release microspheres containing zedoary turmeric oil by the emulsion-solvent-diffusion method and evaluation of the self-emulsification and bioavailability of the oil

The purpose of this study was to design a sustained-release formulation of an oily drug. The sustained-release microspheres with self-emulsifying capability containing zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO) were prepared by the quasi-emulsion-solvent-diffusion method. The micromeritic properties, the efficiency of emulsification and the drug-release behavior of the resultant microspheres were investigated. The bioavailability of the microspheres was compared with conventional ZTO self-emulsifying formulations for oral administration using 12 healthy rabbits. An HPLC method was employed to determine the concentration of germacrone in plasma, which was used as an index of ZTO. Spherical and compacted microspheres with average diameters of 100-600 microm have been prepared, and their release behavior in distilled water containing 1.2% (w/v) of polysorbate-80 can be controlled by the ratio of polymer/Areosil200 in the microspheres. The resultant emulsions with mean droplet sizes of 200-500 nm are produced when the microspheres are immersed in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) under gentle agitation. The stability and the droplet size of the resultant emulsions are also affected by the polymer/Areosil200 ratio in the formulation, while the amount of talc has a marked effect on the self-emulsifying rate. The plasma concentration-time profiles with improved sustained-release characteristics were achieved after oral administration of the microspheres with a bioavailability of 135.6% with respect to the conventional self-emulsifying formulation (a good strategy for improving the bioavailability of an oily drug). In conclusion, the sustained-release microspheres with self-emulsifying capability containing ZTO have an improved oral bioavailability. Our study offers an alternative method for designing sustained-release preparations of oily drugs.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic properties of Zn2SnO4

Nanosized Zn₂SnO₄ (ZTO) particles were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal process in water/ethylene glycol mixed solution using amines (ethylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, and n-octylamine) as mineralizer. The products were characterized by X-ray diffractions (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N₂ adsorption. The results indicated that the hydrothermal conditions, such as alkaline concentration (n-butylamine), reaction temperature, solvent composition, and the kind of amines, had an important influence on the composition, crystallinity, and morphology of the product. The as-synthesized ZTO samples exhibited high activities and durabilities for photodegradation of methyl orange and the activities were mainly affected by the crystallinities of the samples. A hexagonal-shaped ZTO (H-ZTO) sample was prepared in 0.53 M of n-butylamine solution at 180 °C for 20 h and its optical properties were characterized by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and Photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Furthermore, the photocatalytic H₂ evolution reaction from ethanol aqueous solution over H-ZTO was also investigated.     

ESR and luminescence of ZnWO<Subscript>4</Subscript> crystals activated by gadolinium ions

The crystals of zinc tungstate (ZTO) are a radiation-hardened matrix and are widely used as scintillators for high energy radiation. Therefore, it is interesting to study the possibility of introducing gadolinium ions into this structure to obtain the lasing properties. In order to activate ZTO crystals by gadolinium ions, 0.5 mol.% of Gd₂O₃ is added to the load. High-quality large crystals of ZTO are produced. The spectra of optical transmission, luminescence excitation, and luminescence are measured at room temperature. It is shown that the introduction of gadolinium ions does not result in a shift of the main luminescence band of the ZTO crystals. The analysis of the ESR spectra and their modeling enables the calculation of spin-Hamiltonian parameters. It is shown that the observed spectrum depends on the state of Gd³⁺ ions with S = 7/2 and is well described by the spin-Hamiltonian parameters g _x = 1.9835, g _y = 1.9685, g _z = 1.9688 and D = 644.88 Gs, E = 161.49 Gs. Directions of the principal values of the D tensor are determined; they reflect a strong distortion of the nearest-neighbor oxygen environment.

Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of One-dimensional ZnO-Zn2SnO4 Mixed Oxide Nanowires

Mixed oxide photocatalysts, ZnO-Zn2SnO4 (ZnO-ZTO) nanowires with different sizes were prepared by a simple thermal evaporation method. The ZnO-ZTO nanowires were characterized with a scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectrometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectrThe photocatalytic activity of the ZnO-ZTO mixed nanowires were studied by observing the photodegradation behaviors of methyl orange aqueous solution. The results suggest that the ZnO-ZTO mixed oxide nanowires have a higher photocatalytic activity than pure ZnO and Zn2SnO4 nanowires. The photocatalyst concentration in the solution distinctly affects the degradation rate, and our results show that higher photodegradation efficiency can be achieved with a smaller amount of ZnO-ZTO nanowire catalyst, as compared to the pure ZnO and ZTO nanowires. Moreover, the photocatalytic activity can also be enhanced by reducing the average diameter of the nanowires. The activity of pure ZnO and ZTO nanowires are also enhanced by physically mixing them. These results can be explained by the synergism between the two semiconductors.     

A validated LC‐MS/MS assay for the quantitative determination of curdione in rabbit plasma and its application to a pharmacokinetic study after administration of zedoary turmeric oil and bioavailability of the oil

A selective and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the first time for the identification and quantification of curdione in rabbit plasma after vaginal drug administration and intravenous administration of zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO) solution (10 mg/kg). The analysis was performed on a triple‐quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer with multiple reaction monitoring mode via electrospray ionization source in positive ionization mode. After mixing with internal standard diazepam, plasma samples were extracted with ethyl ether–acetic ether (1:1, v/v). Chromatographic separation was carried out on a C₁₈ column with gradient elution using a mixture of water and acetonitrile (both containing 0.1% formic acid) as mobile phases. Linearity ranged over 1.06–106 and 10.6–530 ng/mL (r ≥ 0.995) with the lower limit of quantfication 1.06 ng/mL. The intra‐ and inter‐day precision relative standard deviation values were <12% and the accuracy relative error was from ?10.6 to ?6.1% at all quality control sample levels. The method was applied to a study of the pharmacokinetics of curdione after vaginal drug administration and intravenous administration of ZTO. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

[Zn(phen)₃]·ZTO·6H₂O(1) and[Cu(phen)₃]·ZTO·6H₂O(2) were synthesized by the reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O/Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O with 4,4-azo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one(ZTO) and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen). The two compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectrum analysis, respectively. Compound 1 was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. For compound 1, the coordination geometry around the Zn²⁺ is a distorted octahedron, with the bite angles of 76.7(3)°-77.6(4)° for all three phen ligands. Moreover, the thermal behaviors and thermal decomposition kinetics were studied and analyzed. Besides, thermal stability and safety parameters(T_SADT, T_b) are 164.7 and 166.4℃ for compound 1, and 149.6 and 150.8℃ for compound 2, respectively.     

Cyclic and polycyclic tellurium-tin and tellurium-lead compounds--synthesis, structures and thermal decomposition

The miscellaneously substituted silyltellanes tBu(2)PhSiTeSiMe(3) (1) and (Me(3)Si)(3)SiTeSiMe(3) were used to synthesize the cyclic tin(II) and lead(II) tellurolates [(tBu(2)PhSiTe)(4)M(2)] (M = Sn (2), Pb (3)), [tBu(2)PhSiTePbC(SiMe(3))(3)](2) (4) and the uncommon cluster compound [{(Me(3)Si)(3)SiTe}(4)Te(2)Sn(4)] (5).     

Syntheses and structures of P-anilino-P-chalcogeno- and P-anilino-P-iminodiazasilaphosphetidines and their group 12 and 13 metal compounds

The P-anilino-P-chalcogeno(imino)diazasilaphosphetidines [Me(2)Si(mu-N(t)Bu)(2)P=E(NHPh)] (E = O (3), S (4), Se (5), N-p-tolyl (6)) were synthesized by oxidizing the P-anilinodiazasilaphosphetidine [Me(2)Si(N(t)Bu)(2)P(NHPh)] (2) with cumene hydroperoxide, sulfur, selenium, and p-tolyl azide, respectively. The lithium salt of 4 reacted with thallium monochloride to produce ([Me(2)Si(mu-N(t)Bu)(2)P=S(NPh)-kappaN-kappaS]Tl)(7), which features a two-coordinate thallium atom. Treatment of 4-6 with AlMe(3) gave the monoligand dimethylaluminum complexes ([Me(2)Si(mu-N(t)Bu)(2)P=E(NPh)-kappaN-kappaE]AlMe(2)) (E = S (8), Se (9), N-p-tolyl (10)), respectively. In these complexes the aluminum atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by one chelating ligand and two methyl groups, as a single-crystal X-ray analysis of 8 showed. A 2 equiv amount of 4-6 reacted with diethylzinc to produce the homoleptic diligand complexes ([Me(2)Si(mu-N(t)Bu)(2)P=E(NPh)-kappaN-kappaE](2)Zn)(E = S (11), Se (12), N-p-tolyl (13)). A crystal-structure analysis of 11 revealed a linear tetraspirocycle with a tetrahedrally coordinated, central zinc atom.     

Synthesis and structure of amido- and imido(pentafluorophenyl)borane zirconocene and hafnocene complexes: N-H and B-H activation

Treatment of Me(2)S·B(C(6)F(5))(n) H(3-n) (n=1 or 2) with ammonia yields the corresponding adducts. H(3)N·B(C(6)F(5))H(2) dimerises in the solid state through N-H···H-B dihydrogen interactions. The adducts can be deprotonated to give lithium amidoboranes Li[NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(n)H(3-n)]. Reaction of the n=2 reagent with [Cp(2)ZrCl(2)] leads to disubstitution, but [Cp(2)Zr{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}(2)] is in equilibrium with the product of β-hydride elimination [Cp(2)Zr(H){NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}], which proves to be the major isolated solid. The analogous reaction with [Cp(2)HfCl(2)] gives a mixture of [Cp(2)Hf{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}(2)] and the N-H activation product [Cp(2)Hf{NHB(C(6)F(5 )(2)H}]. [Cp(2)Zr{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}(2)]·PhMe and [Cp(2)Hf{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}(2)]·4(thf) exhibit β-B-agostic chelate bonding of one of the two amidoborane ligands in the solid state. The agostic hydride is invariably coordinated to the outside of the metallocene wedge. Exceptionally, [Cp(2)Hf{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}(2)]?PhMe has a structure in which the two amidoborane ligands adopt an intermediate coordination mode, in which neither is definitively agostic. [Cp(2)Hf{NHB(C(6)F(5))(2)H}] has a formally dianionic imidoborane ligand chelating through an agostic interaction, but the bond-length distribution suggests a contribution from a zwitterionic amidoborane resonance structure. Treatment of the zwitterions [Cp(2)MMe(μ-Me)B(C(6)F(5))(3)] (M=Zr, Hf) with Li[NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(n)H(3-n)] (n=2) results in [Cp(2) MMe{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(2)H}] complexes, for which the spectroscopic data, particularly (1)J(B,H), again suggest β-B-agostic interactions. The reactions proceed similarly for the structurally encumbered [Cp'(2)ZrMe(μ-Me)B(C(6)F(5))(3)] precursor (Cp'=1,3-C(5)H(3)(SiMe(3))(2) , n=1 or 2) to give [Cp'(2)ZrMe{NH(2)B(C(6)F(5))(n)H(3-n)}], both of which have been structurally characterised and show chelating, agostic amidoborane coordination. In contrast, the analogous hafnium chemistry leads to the recovery of [Cp'(2)HfMe(2)] and the formation of Li[HB(C(6)F(5))(3)] through hydride abstraction.     

New diamide-diamine ligands and their zirconium and hafnium dichloride and bis(dimethylamide) complexes

The multigram syntheses of the protio ligands (2-NC(5)H(4))CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2)NHSiMe(2)R)(2) (R = Me, H(2)N(2)NN' 3; R = (t)Bu, H(2)N(2)NN() 4) are described via reactions of the previously reported (2-NC(5)H(4))CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2) (1). A new synthesis of 1 is reported starting from 2-aminomethylpyridine and N-tosylaziridine, proceeding via (2-NC(5)H(4))CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2)NHTs)(2) (2). Reaction of H(2)N(2)NN' or H(2)N(2)NN* with (n)BuLi gives good yields of the dilithiated derivatives Li(2)N(2)NN' and Li(2)N(2)NN*. Reaction of H(2)N(2)NN' or H(2)N(2)NN* with [MCl(2)(CH(2)SiMe(3))(2)(Et(2)O)(2)] gives the cis-dichloride complexes [MCl(2)(L)] (L = N(2)NN', M = Zr 7 or Hf 8; L = N(2)NN(), M = Zr 9). The corresponding reactions of H(2)N(2)NN' or H(2)N(2)NN* with [Zr(NMe(2))(4)] afford the bis(dimethylamide) derivatives [Zr(NMe(2))(2)(L)] (L = N(2)NN' 10 or N(2)NN* 11). All of these protonolysis reactions proceed smoothly and in good yields. Attempts to prepare the titanium complexes [Ti(X)(2)(N(2)NN')] (X = Cl or NMe(2)) were unsuccessful. The X-ray crystal structures of (2-NC(5)H(4))CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2)NHTs)(2).EtOH, [ZrCl(2)(N(2)NN')].0.5C(6)H(6), [Zr(NMe(2))(2)(N(2)NN')], and [Zr(NMe(2))(2)(N(2)NN*)] are reported.     

Aluminium alkyl and aryloxide complexes of pyrazine and bipyridines: synthesis and structure

The reaction of AlMe(3) and [((t)Bu)(2)Al(micro-OPh)](2) with pyrazine (pyz), 4,4'-bipyridine (4-4'-bipy), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpetha) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpethe) yields (Me(3)Al)(2)(micro-pyz)(1), (Me(3)Al)(2)(micro-4,4'-bipy)(2), (Me(3)Al)(2)(micro-bpetha)(3), (Me(3)Al)(2)(micro-bipethe)(4), Al((t)Bu)(2)(OPh)(pyz)(5), [((t)Bu)(2)Al(OPh)](2)(micro-4,4-bipy)(6a), [((t)Bu)(2)Al(OPh)](2)(micro-bpetha)(7a), [((t)Bu)(2)Al(OPh)](2)(micro-bipethe)(8a). Compounds 1-4, 6a and 7a have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. In solution compounds 1-4 undergo a rapid ligand-dissociation equilibrium resulting in a time-average spectrum in the (1)H NMR. In contrast, the solution equilibria for compounds 5-8a are sufficiently slow such that the mono-aluminium compounds may be observed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy: Al((t)Bu)(2)(OPh)(4,4-bipy)(6b), Al((t)Bu)(2)(OPh)(bpetha)(7b) and Al((t)Bu)(2)(OPh)(bpethe)(8b). The inability to isolate [((t)Bu)(2)Al(OPh)](2)(micro-pyz) and the relative stability of each complex is discussed with respect to the steric interactions across the bridging ligand (L) and the electronic effect on one Lewis acid-base interaction by the second Lewis acid-base interaction on the same ligand.     

Kinetic and donor stabilization of organotellurenyl iodides and azides

The first tellurium compounds containing the extremely bulky tris(phenyldimethylsilyl)methyl (Tpsi) and 2,6-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl (2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)) moieties have been synthesized and isolated. Careful oxidation of the tellurolate TpsiTeLi (1) resulted in the formation of the crowded ditellane (TpsiTe)(2) (2), and iodination of 2 gave the alkanetellurenyl iodide TpsiTeI (3). In a similar fashion, the terphenyl-substituted ditellane (2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)Te)(2) (9) and the arenetellurenyl iodide 2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)TeI (10) were prepared. Reaction of the iodides TpsiTeI (3) and 2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)TeI (10), as well as TripTeI, MesTeI (Trip = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl, Mes = 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl), and the donor-stabilized 2-Me(2)NCH(2)C(6)H(4)TeI, with AgN(3) resulted in the formation and isolation of the corresponding tellurenyl azides TpsiTeN(3) (4), TripTeN(3) (7), MesTeN(3) (8), 2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)TeN(3) (11), and 2-Me(2)NCH(2)C(6)H(4)TeN(3) (12). Furthermore, the corresponding tris(ethyldimethylsilyl)methyl-containing (Tesi) tellurium compounds (TesiTe)(2), TesiTeI (5), and TesiTeN(3) (6) have been prepared but could not be isolated in pure form. The crystal structures of TpsiTeLi (1), (TpsiTe)(2) (2), TpsiTeN(3) (4), 2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)TeI (10), 2,6-Trip(2)C(6)H(3)TeN(3) (11), and 2-Me(2)NCH(2)C(6)H(4)TeN(3) (12) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Additionally, computational studies of the molecules for which experimental structural data were available were performed.
