Two polymorphs of dimesityltellurium dichloride
Abstract
The title compound Mes2TeCl2 crystallises from CHCl3 as colourless plates and needles that turned out to be triclinic and monoclinic modifications. Both polymorphs have been investigated by X-ray crystallography. The molecular structures are very similar. Crystal packing effects have only a marginal influence on the structural parameters.
