Reaction of Te-aryl benzenecarbotelluroates of the type ArCOTeAr' (Ar=phenyl p-tolyl, p-bromophenyl; Ar'=phenyl, p-methoxyphenyl) with methyl iodide was found to give symmetrical telluronium salts, (1+)I(1-) in good yields.The reactivity of one of these benzene carbotelluroates towards halogens was also examined.
