An unusual bonding mode for a porphyrin ligand is seen in the tellurium porphyrin complex prepared by treatment of TeCl 4 with dilithio meso ‐tetra( p ‐tolyl)porphyrin [Li 2 (ttp)]. The structure of [Te(ttp)Cl 2 ] (see picture) has a five‐coordinate, square‐pyramidal geometry involving a distorted tridentate porphyrin ligand and cis ‐dichloride ligands.
