Abstract: | Bisphenoxatelluronium dinitrate is monoelinie, P21/c: a = 11.638(4), b = 28.266(8), c = 8.546(3) å, β = 119.73(2)°, z = 4 at t = 22°. All atoms including hydrogen were located. The two ring systems, I and II, are folded along their Te-O axes, 147° and 163°, respectively. The average ring bond distances are: Te-C = 2.091, C-C = 1.377, C-O = 1.370 Å. Each Te is bonded to one NO3 group, Te1-ON1 = 2.485(5), Te2-ON4 = 2.393(4) Å, and an oxygen bridge connects the ring systems, Te1-OB = 1.966(4), Te2-OB = 2.001(4) Å, Te1-OB-Te2 = 125.0(2)°. The bond distances and angles of the structure are compared to those of related compounds. |
