The perfluoroaryl tellurolates C6F5TeLi (1) and 4-CF3C6F4TeLi (2) were prepared. These intermediates were identified by NMR spectroscopy and may form, depending on the reaction conditions, either the corresponding ditellanes C6F5TeTeC6F5 (3) and CF3C6F4TeTeC6F4CF3 (4) by subsequent oxidation, or in the case of 1, a telluranthrene (C6F4Te) 2 (5) by reaction with itself. The halogenation products of 5,(C6F4Te) 2F4 (6),( ...
