Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structure of 3,4-quinoxalino-1-tellura(II)cyclopentane has been determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The crystals are tetragonal, space group I41/a with a = b = 25.315(8), c = 6.010(1) Å and V = 3851.38 Å3. The density of 1.96 g cm?3 calculated on the basis of 16 molecules per unit cell is in agreement with the flotation value of 1.91 g cm?3. The structure has been refined to a conventional R value of 0.0408 using 744 independent observed reflections obtained from four-circle diffractometer measurements. The structure consists of discrete molecules TeC = 2.134 Å (av.), CN = 1.343 Å (av.) and angle CTeC = 80.7° (e.s.d. 0.5) but the intermolecular TeTe bonds (3.791 and 3.998 Å) are less than the sum of the Van der Waals' radii thus indicating the presence of secondary bonding. These short intermolecular contacts in the crystal structure are consistent with the anomalous physical properties observed. |
