However tellurate and tellurite are often referred to as tellurate(VI) and tellurate(IV) respectively in line with IUPAC renaming recommendations. [1] The metatellurate ion is TeO 2− 4 and the orthotellurate ion is TeO 6− 6. Other oxyanions include pentaoxotellurate, TeO 4− 5, [2] ditellurate, Te 2 O 8−
Hydrogen telluride is the inorganic compound with the formula H 2 Te.A hydrogen chalcogenide and the simplest hydride of tellurium, it is a colorless gas.Although unstable in ambient air, the gas can exist long enough to be readily detected by the odour of rotting garlic at extremely low concentrations; or by the revolting odour of rotting leeks at somewhat higher concentrations.
Tellurite is a oxyanion of tellurium with the formula TeO 2− 3.It is the ion of tellurous acid, and is chemically related to tellurium dioxide (TeO 2), whose mineral appearance also bears the name tellurite.
Telluric acid is a weak acid which is dibasic, forming tellurate salts with strong bases and hydrogen tellurate salts with weaker bases or upon hydrolysis of tellurates in water. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It is used as tellurium-source in the synthesis of oxidation catalysts.
The telluride ion is the anion Te 2− and its derivatives. It is analogous to the other chalcogenide anions, the lighter O 2−, S 2−, and Se 2−, and the heavier Po 2−. [1] In principle, Te 2− is formed by the two-e − reduction of tellurium. The redox potential is −1.14 V. [2] Te(s) + 2 e − ↔ Te 2−
3 ion. Oxidation of its aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide gives the tellurate ion. It is usually prepared as an aqueous solution where it acts as a weak acid. [1] [3] H 2 TeO 3 + H 2 O ⇌ H 3 O + + HTeO − 3 K a1 = 2 × 10 −3 HTeO − 3 + H 2 O ⇌ H 3 O + + TeO 2− 3 K a2 = 1 × 10 −8
A tellurite tellurate is a chemical compound or salt that contains tellurite and tellurate anions [TeO 3] 2-[TeO 4] 2-. These are mixed anion compounds , meaning the compounds are cations that contain one or more anions.
Despite their similarities to sulfo-selenide anions, the thiotellurates are not catenation products; instead, the sulfur ligands coordinate to the tellurium as heavier congeners to a tellurate. [15] A thiosubtellurite, TeS 2− 2, is also known. These compounds are of interest because of their potential for ionic conductivity. [16]
