Green crystals of the title compound, C14H14I2O2Te·0.5C2H6OS, space group P32, show twinning by merohedry (class II). The asymmetric unit contains two organotellurium mol­ecules and one dimethyl ­sulfoxide (DMSO) mol­ecule. The crystal structure displays secondary Te...I and Te...O(DMSO) bonds that lead to [(4-MeOC6H4)2TeI2]2·DMSO supra­molecular units in which the two independent organotellurium mol­ecules are bridged by the DMSO O atom. In addition to these secondary bonds, I...I inter­actions link translationally equivalent organotellurium mol­ecules to form nearly linear ...I—Te—I...I—Te—I... chains. These chains are crosslinked, forming two-dimensional arrays parallel to (001). The crystal packing consists of a stacking of these sheets, which are related by the 32 axis. This study describes an unusual dimeric arrangement of X—Te—X groups.

Comment top

As part of our studies of organotellurium compounds (Farran et al., 2002a,b, and references therein), we have synthesized several bis(aryl)tellurium(IV) dihalides, among them bis(4-methoxyphenyl)tellurium diiodide, (I). During crystallization trials of (I) we observed the formation of crystals of various morphologies and colours, depending on the solvents and conditions used. This observation, and the well known facts that organotellurium(IV) iodides frequently display secondary bonding, which gives rise to a wide variety of supramolecular assemblies (Zukerman-Schpector & Haiduc, 2001; Haiduc & Zukerman-Schpector, 2001), that they are often polymorphic [see, for example, McCullough et al. (1985), Närhi et al. (2004), Srivastava et al. (2004) and Beckmann et al. (2005), and references therein], and that they have colours that are related to the occurrence of noncovalent interactions (McCullough et al., 1985; Dewan & Silver, 1977), led us to a systematic study of these specimens.

In a previous paper (Farran et al., 1998), we reported the crystal structures of two polymorphs of (I), namely (Ia) in space group P1 with Z = 8 and (Ib) in space group P1 with Z = 4, and mentioned several other crystal phases containing (I) and iodine, benzene, acetonitrile and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Among these crystals, those including DMSO were remarkable in their colour as, unlike the shades of red displayed by other crystals, they were green with a metallic lustre (Fig. 1). Chemical and spectroscopic analyses revealed that these green crystals correspond to the title DMSO hemisolvate of (I), (II). Here, we describe the crystal structure determination of (II) based on X-ray diffraction data from a merohedral twin. The study revealed that the asymmetric unit contains a supramolecular entity made up of two molecules of (I) bridged by one DMSO molecule (Fig. 2).

Bond distances and angles in the molecules of (I) in the title hemisolvate (Table 1) are similar to those observed in polymorphs (Ia) and (Ib). In the supramolecular unit, each Te has an extended environment that can be described as a distorted octahedron based on the two Te—C and the two Te—I bonds, together with the secondary interactions Te···I and Te···O (Fig. 2). The Te···I distances are similar to those observed in polymorphs (Ia) and (Ib) (Table 2), while the Te···O distances are comparable with those found in similar DMSO solvates (e.g. Mørkved et al., 1997). The two TeC2I3O octahedra share the face defined by atoms I2, I4 and O1s (Fig. 3). Two regular octahedra joined by a common face display (idealized) 62m point symmetry but, in this case, the different nature of the atoms at the vertices reduces the symmetry to 2. Indeed, in the crystal structure a pseudo twofold axis through atom O1s can be considered. This local symmetry axis also relates the Me groups of DMSO and the two disordered positions of the S atom (site occupancy factors 0.56:0.44) (Fig. 3), while the aryl moieties break down the pseudosymmetry.

In the (Ia) and (Ib) crystal structures, each Te atom forms two secondary Te···I bonds and has a distorted TeC2I4 octahedral environment. This arrangement results in centrosymmetric tetramers with step-like Te4I8 cores (Fig 4c). This seems to be the basic structural unit that dominates the crystal packing of (I) in the absence of other donor atoms capable of forming Te···X secondary bonds (e.g. X = O). In the title hemisolvate, one of the Te···I interactions is replaced by a Te···O interaction. As a result of this arrangement, the linear I—Te—I moieties are not nearly parallel (Fig 4b) as in the step-like Te4I8, but form an angle of 61.09 (3)°. Zukerman-Schpector et al. (2002) discussed the possible dimeric, tetrameric and polymeric assemblies formed by diorganotellurium(IV) dihalides through Te···halogen interactions, and the non-parallel dimeric arrangement observed in the present structure is included in their scheme. The structure of (p-PhOC6H4)2TeCl2, previously studied by us (de Matheus et al., 1991), was wrongly given as an example of a non-parallel dimer, whereas in reality it is a parallel dimer (Fig. 4a). The structure of (II), however, does constitute an example of this non-parallel dimeric arrangement. Two other cases of non-parallel X—Te—X moieties are bis(dichlorophenyltelluro)methane (Batchelor et al., 1987) and bis(dibromomesityltelluro)methane (Dakternieks et al., 2000). In these structures, the X—Te—X moieties are covalently bridged by a methylene group in a similar way to (II), where they are bridged by the O atom of the DMSO. Moreover, in these two structures, a crystallographic twofold axis (through the methylene C atom) relates the two moieties.

In the present crystal structure, I···I interactions link translationally equivalent molecules of (I) to form nearly linear ···I—Te—I···I—Te—I··· chains (Table 2). Each supramolecular unit, 2(I).DMSO, is involved in two such chains (in the asymmetric unit, one parallel to the crystallographic a axis and the other to the a+b direction). As a result of the cross-linking of these chains, a two-dimensional array parallel to (001) is formed (Fig. 5a). The crystal structure consists of a stacking of these sheets, which are related by the 32 axis (Fig. 5b). Nearly linear ···I—Te—I···I—Te—I··· chains have been reported previously (Chao & McCullough, 1962; Knobler et al., 1970). In the first case, all chains are parallel and no sheets are formed. In the second, perpendicularly cross-linked chains define sheets similar to those described here.

We have discussed the role of secondary bonds in supramolecular self-assembly and packing of crystal forms of (I). Furthermore, two other points are worthy of note: their influence on covalent bond distances and on colour. The former is a well known characteristic of diorganotellurium(IV) dihalides (McCullough et al., 1985) and can also be observed in the hemisolvate (II), and in the polymorphs (Ia), and (Ib): the higher the number of secondary bonds to iodine, the longer the Te—I distance. Thus, in (II), two sets of Te—I distances can be found, one for I atoms involved in two secondary bonds and another for I atoms forming one secondary bond only (Table 2), while in (Ia) and (Ib), three sets were observed, for I atoms with two, one or zero secondary bonds. With regard to the colour of organotellurium(IV) iodides, the influence of secondary bonds has been discussed previously (McCullough et al., 1985; Dewan & Silver, 1977). Secondary Te···I bonds produce a range of orange to red colours, while I···I interactions give rise to darker colours (purple, violet or even black). In contrast, cases of green compounds have proved more difficult to explain (McCullough et al., 1985). In the present structure, the unusual supramolecular arrangement in (II), with the presence of a Te···Te contact (Table 2) and the Te···DMSO coordination, might be an explanation for the green colour.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was prepared as described previously by Farran et al. (1998). Green crystals of the title hemisolvate, (II), were obtained by slow evaporation from a DMSO solution of (I) at room temperature or at 277 K. After removal from solution and drying, the crystals decompose slowly (few days) in air to give a red unsolvated crystalline powder. The crystal studied was protected with perfluoropolyether oil (FOMBLIN from Aldrich) during the measurement.

Refinement top

Refinement was carried out with the program JANA2000 (Petříček et al., 2000). After successive cycles, the refinement converged to an overall agreement factor of approximately 0.2. In addition, a large number of bond distances and angles showed unreasonable values. As the trigonal metric allows twinning by merohedry of class II (Giacovazzo, 2002), we tried a refinement model assuming a twofold rotation around the a axis as the twinning operation. The introduction of the corresponding twin law (1 0 0, -1 -1 0, 0 0 -1) and the subsequent refinement of the volume fraction of the second individual led to a rapid decrease in the overall agreement factor and resulted in reasonable bond distances and angles.

The noncentrosymmetric space group furthermore allows for the formation of racemic twins. If the corresponding additional twinning elements are taken into account, a four-component twin is obtained, where two twin symmetry operations have determinant 1 and the other two have determinant -1. A refinement using this four-component twin model showed that the volume fractions of the components corresponding to twin symmetry operations with determinant -1 are not significantly different from 0. Therefore, the parameter x- [the sum of the volume fractions corresponding to twin laws of determinant -1; this factor is the equivalent of the Flack parameter for multiply twinned crystals (Flack & Bernardinelli, 1999)] is 0 and the crystalline sample contains exclusively the structure in space group P32.
