IMAGES FORMED BY DECOMPOSITION OF TE (II) COORDINATION COMPLEXES

摘要

Tellurium images are formed by the decomposition of tellurium (II) coordination complexes in the presence of a catalyst. The complexes are characterized in that at least one of the four coordination positions of the tellurium (II) is occupied by a sulfur containing ligand. Preferred ligands that can be coordinated with tellurium are sulfur containing bidentate anionic ligands. Another preferred group of complexes are complexes wherein the tellurium (II) is complexed to either two or four sulfur containing neutral ligands.
