Tellurium nitride describeschemical compounds ofTe containingN3−. Efforts have been made toward the binary nitrides but the results are inconclusive and it appears that such materials are unstable. Still unconfirmed is Te4N4, which would be an analogue oftetraselenium tetranitride (Se4N4) andtetrasulfur tetranitride (S4N4). It has long been known thatammonia reacts withtellurium tetrachloride, which is similar to the method of synthesis of S4N4.[1][2] The reaction of TeCl4 with atetrahydrofuran solution of N(SiMe3)3 gives a well-defined tellurium nitride [Te6N8(TeCl4)4(THF)4] (THF = tetrahydrofuran).[3]
