Abstract
AbstractThe cover picture shows yellow crystals and red melt of tellurium(II) dimethanethiolate, Te(SCH3)2, together with its molecular structure in the solid state and the lightinduced deposition of elemental tellurium on glass, from a solution of Te(SCH3)2. In the solid state, Te(SCH3)2 exhibits a cis conformation of the methyl groups with respect to the TeS2 plane, an unprecedented case for nonfunctionalized organotrichalcogenides. For Te(SR)2 (R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu) Te−S bonding and Te···S intermolecular distances are correlated, as are 125Te NMR chemical shifts and the ionization energies of the corresponding thiols. Results are rationalized in terms of σ‐ and π‐type np(S)‐σ*(Te−S) orbital interactions. Details are presented in the article by H. Fleischer et al. on p. 815 ff.
