The synthesis and characterisation, particularly by 13C NMR spectroscopy, of 1,2-bis(p-ethoxyphenyltelluromethyl)benzene and tetrakis(p-ethoxyphenyltelluromethyl)methane are reported.A preliminary investigation of the coordination chemistry of 1,2-bis(p-ethoxyphenyltelluromethyl)benzene (I) has given complexes of stoicheiometry , and , which are insoluble and generally intractable.Some physical data, particularly low frequency infrared spectra and 125Te Moessbauer spectra, are briefly discussed.
