Organotellurium Compounds
Tellurides also describe a class of organotellurium compounds formally derived from Te2−. An illustrative member is dimethyl telluride. Such compounds are often called telluroethers because they are structurally related although the length of the C-Te bond is much longer than a C-O bond. C-Te-C angles tend to be closer to 90°.

Famous quotes containing the word compounds:
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
