Canted chalcogens : Relatively stable selenirenium salts (R 1 2 C 2 SeR) + X − (R 1 = tert ‐alkyl) are prepared by reaction of RSe + X − with acetylenes; the bond angle at selenium is only 38°. Highly unstable tellurirenium salts (R 1 2 C 2 TePh) + X − from PhTe + X − and di‐ tert ‐alkylacetylenes have a bond angle at tellurium of 34° (see picture). These three‐membered‐ring cations were experimentally and theoretically investigated.
