Iodidomesityltellurium(II) iodido­trimesitylditellurium(II)(Te—Te)

In the title compound, C₉H₁₁ITe·C₂₇H₃₃ITe₂ or (Mes)TeI·(Mes₂Te)TeI(Mes) (Mes is mesityl or 2,4,6-trimethyl­phen­yl), a strong Te...I inter­action of 3.3157 (9) Å links the Te atom of an iodidomesityltellurium(II) moiety, (Mes)TeI, and an I atom of the iodidotrimesitylditellurium(II) unit, (Mes₂Te)TeI(Mes). Further weak Te...I contacts of 4.0818 (9) Å give rise to one-dimensional chains along the b axis in the crystal structure. An intra­molecular C—H...π(arene) inter­action is present in the (TeMes₂)TeI(Mes) moiety, with a C...Cg distance of 3.497 (9) Å and a C—H...Cg angle of 142° (where Cg is the centroid of a mesityl ring of the Mes₂Te moiety).
