[H(x)TeV9O28]((5-x)-) (x=1 and 2): vanadotellurates with decavanadate structure.

Two new vanadotellurates, [HTeV(9)O(28)](4-) and [H(2)TeV(9)O(28)](3-) have been synthesized and structurally characterized as tetra-n-butylammonium (TBA) salts: TBA(4)[HTeV(9)O(28)]·2CH(3)CN [triclinic, space group P ̅1, a = 16.7102(6) Å, b = 17.4680(7) Å, c = 17.

Tetrahedral tellurate.

A tetraethylammonium (TEA) salt of TeO 4 (2-) was synthesized by reacting Te(OH) 6 with tetraethylammonium hydroxide. X-ray structural analysis of (TEA) 2TeO 4.2H 2O confirmed that this new compound consists of discrete TeO 4 (2-) anions of distorted tetrahedral structure together with TEA cations and water molecules of crystallization [ a = 8.
