Chlorido{2-[(dimethyl-amino)-meth-yl]phenyl-κN,C}tellurium
Abstract:
The crystal structure of the title compound, C(9)H(12)ClNTe, contains isolated mol-ecules with no close Te⋯Cl inter-molecular contacts and has the same composition as a previously published structure [Engman et al. (2004 ▶). Phospho-rus Sulfur Silicon Relat. Elem.179, 285-292]. However, in this case, the compound has crystallized in a centrosymmetric space group, unlike the previously published structure which contained enanti-omerically pure chiral mol-ecules. In all other aspects, the metrical parameters are similar. The mol-ecules with a T-shaped coordination environment about the Te atom are linked into dimers by C-H⋯Cl inter-actions.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
