A carbide carbon atom as a vertex stabilized by coordination to the Lewis acid TeBr 4 is a feature of the cubane‐like cluster 1 shown on the right. This complex, which is indefinitely stable in the solid state but dissolves only in DMSO—and then with rapid decomposition—is the ultimate product in the reaction between [Te 2 Fe 3 (CO) 9 ] and CBr 4 .
