Telluroxide

Last updated

A telluroxide is a type of organotellurium compound with the formula R2TeO. These compounds are analogous to sulfoxides in some respects. Reflecting the decreased tendency of Te to form multiple bonds, telluroxides exist both the monomer and the polymer, which are favored in solution and the solid state, respectively: [1]

(R2TeO)n n R2TeO

Telluroxides are prepared from the telluroethers by halogenation followed by base hydrolysis:

R2Te + Br2 → R2TeBr2
R2TeBr2 + 2 NaOH → R2TeO + 2 NaBr + H2O

Organonickel chemistry is a branch of organometallic chemistry that deals with organic compounds featuring nickel-carbon bonds. They are used as a catalyst, as a building block in organic chemistry and in chemical vapor deposition. Organonickel compounds are also short-lived intermediates in organic reactions. The first organonickel compound was nickel tetracarbonyl Ni(CO)4, reported in 1890 and quickly applied in the Mond process for nickel purification. Organonickel complexes are prominent in numerous industrial processes including carbonylations, hydrocyanation, and the Shell higher olefin process.
