Se(C5F4N)2 and Te(C5F4N)2 were prepared via redox transmetalations of AgC5F4N and the corresponding elements in good yields. The crystal structures of both derivatives exhibit infinite chains caused by a weak intermolecular contact between the chalcogen and one nitrogen atom with a T-shaped (蠄-pentagonal-bipyramidal) ligand arrangement. Crystallization of both reagents from dimethylsulfoxide gave single crystals of the corresponding 1:1 adducts that crystallize in infinite chains best expressed by the formula [E(C5F4N)2路(渭-DMSO)]鈭?/sub> (E = Se, Te). In these cases, the coordination spheres of selenium and tellurium are square-planar (蠄-octahedral). Similar effects are found in the molecular structures of [Te(C5F4N)2路TMTU]鈭?/sub> and [Te(C6F5)2路TMTU]鈭?/sub> (TMTU = tetramethylthiourea). Differences in the Te鈥揝 interatomic distances clearly indicate the C5F4N ligand being significantly more electron-withdrawing in comparison with the C6F5 group; that is, Te(C5F4N)2 is the stronger Lewis acid.
