Shielding by four TeCl 4 molecules is observed for the distorted rhombic dodecahedron core of the tellurium nitride Te 6 N 8 (see picture). With the characterization of this structure, the composition of the tellurium nitride discovered 100 years ago has now been determined. As a result of the shielding effect, the explosive character of the nitride is lost.
