Abstract

•Chemistry of platinum group metal complexes with tellurium ligands is reviewed.•Dissimilarity of tellurium ligands chemistry from lighter congener is highlighted.•The catalytic activity of metal tellurium complexes is discussed.•Structural aspects of several novel complexes are presented.

This article focuses on recent developments in the chemistry of platinum group metals (Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd and Pt) with tellurium ligands. Attempts have been made to present a comprehensive account of the subject matter. Platinum group metal complexes with different kinds of tellurium ligands, such as diorganoditellurides, tellurolates, telluroethers, tellurides, polytellurides and tellurium(IV), are described. Various aspects of these complexes like synthesis, reactivity, structures and applications are covered in this review.
