A rare supramolecular assembly (stairs) of (cyclic tellurane) 1,3-dihydro-2λ4-benzotellurole-2,2-diyldicinnamate [C8H8Te(OCOCHCHC6H5)2] based on intermolecular and intramolecular Te-O secondary bonds and assisted by C-H-O hydrogen bonds

Supramolecular association of cyclic telluranes [C8H8Te(OCOCHCHC6H5)2] based on intermolecular and intramolecular Te-O secondary bonds and assisted by C-H-O hydrogen bonds is described.
