organic compounds
The title compound, C24H56N6O2Te42+·2I−·C2H3N or H[(tBuNH)Te(μ-NtBu)2Te(μ-O)]2(I)2·MeCN, provides the first example of the cis form of an imidotelluroxane dication. The basket-shaped structure is bispirocyclic, with a `backbone' TeTeTeTe pseudo-torsion angle of −31.51 (3)°. The structure exhibits two ionic TeI interactions [3.4103 (8) and 3.445 (1) Å] and two TeI close contacts [3.863 (1) and 3.924 (1) Å] within the molecule, and two TeI close contacts [3.651 (1) and 3.703 (2) Å] between ions. The intermolecular close contacts connect the cations into pairs which are linked by a weak TeI contact [4.090 (1) Å] to form an infinite chain.
