The hydrolysis of tBuNTe(μ-NtBu)2TeNtBu (1) with 1 or 2 equiv of (C6F5)3B·H2O results in the successive replacement of terminal imido groups by oxo ligands to give the telluroxane-Lewis acid adducts (C6F5)3B·OTe(μ-NtBu)2TeNtBu (2) and [(C6F5)3B·OTe(μ-NtBu)2Te(μ-O)]2 (3), which were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The TeO distance in 2 is 1.870(2) Å. The di-adduct 3 involves the association of four tBuNTeO monomers to give a tetramer in which both terminal TeO groups [d(TeO) = 1.866(3) Å] are coordinated to B(C6F5)3. The central Te2O2 ring in 3 is distinctly unsymmetrical [d(TeO) = 1.912(3) and 2.088(2) Å]. The X-ray structure of (C6F5)3B·NH2tBu (4), the byproduct of these hydrolysis reactions, is also reported. The geometries and energies of tellurium(IV) diimides and imido telluroxanes were determined using quantum chemical calculations. The calculated energies for the reactions E(NR)2 + Te(NR)2 (E = S, Se, Te; R = H, Me, tBu, SiMe3) confirm that cyclodimerization of tellurium(IV) diimides is strongly exothermic. In the mixed-chalcogen systems, the cycloaddition is energetically favorable for the Se/Te combination. The calculated energies for the further oligomerization of the dimers XE(μ-NMe)2EX (E = Se, Te; X = NMe, O) indicate that the formation of tetramers is strongly exothermic for the tellurium systems but endothermic (X = NMe) or thermoneutral (X = O) for the selenium systems, consistent with experimental observations.

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Structural Trends for Selenium(IV) Imides and Oxides: X-ray Structure of Se3(NAd)2
Maaninen, Tiina; Tuononen, Heikki; Schatte, Gabriele; Suontamo, Reijo; Valkonen, Jussi; Laitinen, Risto; Chivers, Tristram (ACS, 2004)The thermal decomposition of Se(NAd)2 (Ad = 1-adamantyl) in THF was monitored by 77Se NMR and shown to give the novel cyclic selenium imide Se3(NAd)2 as one of the products. An X-ray structural determination showed that ... -
