Abstract

Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

The cover picture shows the generation of the tellurium(II) cationic species bearing a sterically demanding ligand, exhibiting a deep red color. It was generated from the corresponding tellurium halides and trapped by diene and phosphane to give the corresponding adducts. The tellurium(II) cationic species was found to be regenerated by the thermolysis of the diene adduct. Details are discussed in the Short Communication by T. Sasamori, N. Tokitoh et al. on p. 775 ff. The origin of ?tellurium? is “tellus” in Latin meaning “earth”.
