โฆ Synopsis
The heights of the rotational barriers of the ditelluride bridge in H 2 Te 2 and (CH 3 ) 2 Te 2 have been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level with the 3-21G basis set. The minima in the rotational potential energy functions occur at torsional angles of 87.58ะ and 89.32ะ, respectively. The barriers were determined by complete geometry optimization at each point along the potential surface. In addition, preliminary results on the stability of H 2 Te 2 are reported. The molecule is found to be stable with respect to dissociation into H 2 Te โซืโฌ Te or H 2 โซืโฌ Te 2 .
