The tellurium diimide dimer [ t BuNTe(μ‐N t Bu) 2 TeN t Bu] ( 1 ) and B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 form a 1:1 adduct which instigates THF ring‐opening to give [ t BuNTe(μ‐N t Bu) 2 TeN( t Bu)(CH 2 ) 4 OB(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] ( 3 ) quantitatively; complex 3 is also formed rapidly when 1 is added to a THF solution of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 .
