Oxidative addition of TeCl 4 to Vaska's complex gave the trichlorotelluronium complex [IrCl 2 (TeCl 3 )(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (structure depicted), which contains a rare example of a structurally characterized tetravalent tellurium ligand. The coordination at the Te IV center is—in full agreement with the VSEPR model—distorted trigonal bipyramidal.
