Abstract

A reaction of 2-chloro-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine with sodium ditelluride in DMF afforded bis(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl) ditelluride, a new representative of dihetaryl ditellurides. An X-ray diffraction study revealed an unusual planar trans-conformation of this compound, which is stabilized by both intramolecular attractive non-valent Te...N interactions (3.082(2) A) and π-stacking of the aromatic heterocycles (the centers of the pyrimidine rings are disposed at 3.421(3) ). The energy parameters of the factors that make the molecular structure flattened were estimated by quantum chemical DFT calculations.
