Tellurium tetrabromide (TeBr4) is an inorganic chemical compound. It has a similar tetrameric structure to TeCl4.[2] It can be made by reacting bromine and tellurium.[3] In the vapour TeBr4 dissociates:[2]
- TeBr4 → TeBr2 + Br2
It is a conductor when molten, dissociating into the ions TeBr3+ and Br− Solutions in benzene and toluene are non conducting and TeBr4 is present as the tetramer, Te4Br16.[2] In solvents with donor properties such as acetonitrile, CH3CN ionic complexes are formed which make the solution conducting:
- TeBr4 + 2CH3CN → (CH3CN)2TeBr3+ + Br−
