✦ Synopsis


The compounds [(Me 3 SiO) 8 Te 2 O 2 ] (1) and [(Me 4 Si 2 O 2 ) 3 Te] (2) have been prepared in good yields through Bronsted acid-base reaction of Te(OH) 6 with Me 3 SiNEt 2 and Me 4 Si 2 (NEt 2 ) 2 , respectively. They have been characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The formation of dinuclear 1 is the result of fast intermolecular condensation of two partially silylated orthotelluric acid units during the esterification process. Its structure consists of two edge-fused TeO 6 -octahedra, bearing a four-membered Te 2 O 2 ring as central motif. In contrast, the main structural feature of chiral 2 is a TeO 6 octahedron which is fully silylated by three bidentate 1,1,2,2-tetramethyldisilanediyl units, resulting in a racemic mixture. The metastability of 2 is remarkable since the Te(+ 6) center usually acts as a strong oxidation reagent toward the Si±Si bond in disilanes. 1 and 2 represent potential starting compounds for molecular Te x O y aggregates as hybrid components for new glasses by sol-gel procedure.

## Abstract The antimony analogue of choline bromide, [Me~3~SbCH~2~CH~2~OH]Br (1), is formed by the reaction of Me~3~Sb with BrCH~2~CH~2~OH. Crystals of (Me~3~SbCH~2~COO)~8~(NaBr)~7~(MeOH)~9~(H~2~O) (2) are obtained from [Me~3~SbCH~2~COOH]Br and Na~2~CO~3~ in methanol. Crystals of 1 contain stiboni
