Abstract
The synthesis and comprehensive characterization of the first dicationic tellurium analogues of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been reported, in both the +2 and +4 oxidation states. For the +2 oxidation state, a base‐stabilized form of TeCl~2~ is used as the starting material. The dications are isolated by means of halide metathesis and the solid‐state structures confirm the previously calculated diimine bonding arrangement. For Te^IV^, a diamine is used in a high‐yielding dehydrohalogen coupling reaction from TeCl~4~. The dicationic NHC analogue is isolated in a base‐stabilized form through halide abstraction and subsequent coordination by pyridine.

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have found increasing use as reagents for a range of organic transformations and in asymmetric organocatalysis. The performance of these molecules can be improved and tuned by functionalisation. Functionalised carbenes can anchor free carbenes to the metal site, introd
