Abstract: | The novel mercury‐tellurium cluster Hg8(μ‐n‐C3H7Te)12(μ2‐Br)Br3] is formed during the reaction of HgBr2 and (n‐C3H7Te)2Hg in DMSO. Its crystal structure has been elucidated showing Hg8(μ‐n‐C3H7Te)12(μ2‐Br)]3+ units with a bromine‐centered distorted Hg8 cube. The mercury atoms are bridged by n‐C3H7Te— ligands and the resulting clusters are linked to a three‐dimensional network by bromine atoms. The close packing of the cluster is mainly determined by the flexible n‐propyl residues of the telluride building blocks. |
