(PhTe)(3)(-): The Anionic Tellurium Analogue of I(3)(- ).
The missing link between solid-state tellurium chemistry and polyhalide ions is provided by the synthesis of the almost linear (PhTe)(3)(-) ion, whose structure is shown. Tritelluride units are a recurring motif in the solid state and are related to the structures of polyhalides.
