Synthesis and structural characterization of dinuclear tellurolate palladium(II) complexes

The synthesis and the structural characterization of the tellurolate-palladium complexes [PdCl(μ-TePh)PPh2Py]2 and [PdCl(μ-TePh)PPh3]2 are described. Although no PdPd interactions were observed, the tellurium atoms attain secondary bonds with a covalent character.
