Hydrogen ditelluride or ditellane is an unstable hydrogen dichalcogenide containing two tellurium atoms per molecule, with structure HTeTeH. It can possibly be formed at the tellurium cathode in electrolysis in acid.[2] When electrolysed in alkaline solutions, a tellurium cathode produces ditelluride Te22− ions, as well as Te2− and a red polytelluride. The greatest amount of ditelluride is made when pH is over 12.[3]
Production
Apart from its speculative detection in electrolysis, ditellane has been detected in the gas phase produced from di-sec-butylditellane.[1][4]
Properties
Hydrogen ditelluride has been investigated theoretically, with various properties predicted. The molecule is twisted with a C2 symmetry. There are two enantiomers. Hydrogen ditelluride is equal simplest in its unsymmetrical molecule, any simpler molecule will not have the required low symmetry. The equilibrium geometry (not counting zero point energy or vibrational energy) has the molecule with 2.879 Å between the tellurium atoms, and 1.678 Å between hydrogen and tellurium. The H-Te-Te angle is 94.93°. The angle of lowest energy between the two H-Te bonds (dihedral angle) is 89.32°. The trans cofiguration is higher in energy (3.71 kcal/mol), and the cis would be even higher (4.69 kcal/mol).[5]
Being chiral the molecule is predicted show evidence of parity violation, however this may get interference from stereomutation tunneling, where the P enantiomer and M enantiomer spontaneously convert into each other by quantum tunneling. The parity violation effect on energy comes about from virual Z boson exchanges between the nucleus and electrons.[6] It is proportional to the cube of the atomic number, so is stronger in tellurium molecules than others higher up in the periodic table (eg O, S, Se). Because of parity violation, the energy of the two enantiomers differs, and is likely to be higher in this molecule than most moleculess. So an effort is underway to observe this so-far undetected effect. The tunneling effect is reduced by higher masses, so that the deuterium form, D2Te2 will show less tunneling. In a tortional vibrational mode the molecule can twist back and forward storing energy. Seven different quantum vibration levels are predicted below the energy to jump to the other enantiomer. The levels are numbered vt=0 up to 6. The sixth level is predicted to be split into two energy levels because of quantum tunneling.[7] The parity violation energy is calculated as 3×10−9 cm−1 or 90 Hz.[7]
The different vibrational modes for H2Te are symmetrical stretch of H-Te, symmetrical bend of ∠H-Te-Te, torsion, stretch Te-Te, asymmetrical stretch H-Te, asymmetrical bend of ∠H-Te-Te.[7] The time to tunnel between enantiomers is only 0.6 ms for H2Te2, but is 66000 seconds for T2Te2.[7]
Related
There are organic derivatives, in which the hydrogen is replaced by organic groups. One example is bis-(2,4,6-tributylphenyl)ditellane.[8] Others are diphenylditellane and 1,2-bis(cyclohexylmethyl)ditellane.
