Tri­phenyl­tellurium chloride

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H15ClTe, contains two mol­ecules which are in inverted orientations. The compound displays a tetra­hedral geometry around the Te atom in spite of there being five electron domains. This is attributed to the fact that the lone pair is not sterically activ...
