HEPTACARBONYLBIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE)-BIS(MU(3)-TELLURIUM)-TRIIRON

The heptacarbonyl-1kappa3C,2kappa2C,3kappa2C-bis(mu3-tellurido)-bis(triphenylphosphine)-2kappaP,3kappaP-triiron, (PPh3)2-Fe3(CO)7(mu3-Te)2, structure is a distorted square-pyramid motif with three Fe and two Te atoms at the vertices; Fe(1), Fe(2), Te(1) and Te(2) form the base of the pyramid with Fe(1)-Te(1) = 2.531 (1), Fe(1)-Te(2) = 2.544 (1), Fe(2)-Te(1) = 2.539 (1) and Fe(2)-Te(2) = 2.549 (1) angstrom. Fe(1) and Fe(2) have two terminal carbonyl ligands and one triphenylphosphine ligand; the phosphine ligands are coordinated equatorially to Fe(1) and axially to Fe(2). The apical Fe(3) atom has three terminal carbonyl ligands
