Iodination of Ph 2 Te 2 Se by molecular iodine is directed towards the Te atom and yields {diiodo[(phenyltellanyl)selanyl]‐λ 4 ‐tellanyl}benzene, PhTeSeTeI 2 Ph or C 12 H 10 I 2 SeTe 2 . The molecule can be considered as a chimera of PhTeSe R , PhTeSeTePh and R ′TeI 2 Ph fragments. The crystal structure features a complex interplay of the supramolecular synthons Te…π(Ph), Se…Te and I…Te, combining molecules into a three‐dimensional framework. Their combination affords long‐range supramolecular synthons which are fused in a way resembling the mythological chimera and could be defined as chimeric supramolecular synthons . The energies of the intermolecular interactions have also been calculated and analyzed.
