Description
Summary:N‐[3‐(Phenyltellanyl)propyl]picolinamide (HL1) or N‐[N″,N″‐methyl(phenyl)aminothiocarbonyl]‐N′‐[3‐(phenyltellanyl)propyl]benzamidine (HL2) react with equivalent amounts of PtCl2 or PdCl2 with formation of neutral [MCl(L1‐κN,N′,Te)] or [MCl(L2‐κS,N,Te)] chelates. A corresponding reaction of HL2 with HgCl2 results in the formation of [HgCl2(HL2‐κS,Te)]. Treatment of [PtCl(L1‐N,N′,Te)] with elemental iodine results in the exclusive oxidation of the metal ion and the platinum(IV) complex [PtI3(L1‐κN,N′,Te)] could be isolated in reasonable amounts. A decomposition of the tellurium‐containing ligand and the formation of [PdI2(PhTeI)2] was observed during a similar procedure with the corresponding palladium complex. The bonding situation inside the latter compound was analyzed through density functional theory calculations. Reactions between MCl2 (M = Pt, Pd, Hg) and potentially tridentate telluroether ligands with additional picolinamido or thiocarbamoylbenzamidinato units give neutral chelates. Long‐range Te···M, Te···halide, or Te···S interactions assemble the obtained molecules to dimeric and/or polymeric arrangements in the solid state.
