Abstract: The crystal structure of 2-[N,N-dimethylamino)methyl]benzenetel-lurenyl chloride (2), a compound previously formulated as bis[[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl] ditelluride bis hydrochloride (1a), was determined. In the molecule 2, tellurium is bonded to the carbon of the phenyl group [2.120(3) Å], the nitrogen of the ortho dimethylamino substituent [2.362(3) Å], and the chlorine atom [2.536(1) Å]. There also is an intermolecular interaction of the tellurium atom with the phenyl ring of a neighbouring molecule [3.655(1) Å], resulting in the formation of zigzag chains along the b axis. The noncentrosymmetric space group of the crystal can be explained by the chiral surrounding of tellurium.
