Useful starting compounds for the synthesis of metal complexes are provided by the thermally sensitive and photosensitive tellurophenols 1 (R = Me, i Pr, t Bu). For instance, the methyl‐substituted compound 1 reacts with [Cd{N(SiMe 3 ) 2 } 2 ] to give [Cd(TeC 6 H 2 Me 3 ) 2 ] ∞ , whose linear one‐dimensional chain structure is due to the spatial bulk of the mesityl groups.
