eng Intramolecularly Coordinated 2-Iminomethylphenyltellurium Compounds Procedures for the synthesis of 2-(tBuNCH)-C6H4Te(S2CNEt2) (1a), 2-(2', 6'-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)NCH) C6H4Te(S2CNEt2) (1b), [2-(tBuNCH) C6H4](2)Te (2a), 2-(tBuNCH)C6H4TeCl (3a), and 2(tBuNCH) C6H4TeCl3 (4a) have been developed. Compounds 1a-4a possess 2-iminomethylphenyl groups that provide intramolecular N donation to the Te atoms, which was investigated by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The Te-N bond lengths increase in the order 3a [2.203(2) angstrom] < 4a [2.286(1) angstrom] < 1b [2.337(2) angstrom] < 1a [2.407(2) angstrom] < 2a [2.688(2) angstrom]. The nature of these bonds, which span a wide range from weak to strongly dative, was computationally analyzed for 1a-4a by means of DFT calculations using real-space bonding indicators derived from the atoms-in-molecules (AIM), electron localizability indicator (ELI-D), and noncovalent interactions (NCI) indicator toolkits. The analysis of the electrostatic potentials (ESPs) of proper fragments revealed considerable sigma-hole bond contributions in 3 and 4.
