Structure of a diorganotelluroxonium(IV) cation, {[2,6-(CH(2)NMe(2))(2)C(6)H(3)Te(μ-O)](2)}(2+), with the tri­chlorido­(dimethyl sulfoxide)­platinum(II) anion

In the title salt, di-μ-oxido-bis­{2,6-bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­meth­yl]phenyl-κC (1)}tellurium(­IV) bis[tri­chlorido­(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)platinate(II)], (C(24)H(38)N(4)O(2)Te(2))[PdCl(3)(C(2)H(6)OS)](2), which crystallizes in the triclinic space group P [Image: see text], each Te atom is in a distorted five-coordinated TeO(2)N(2)C square-pyramidal geometry (τ values of 0.026 and 0.001) with the C atoms of the phenyl rings occupying the apical positions. The phenyl rings in the [C(24)H(38)N(4)O(2)Te(2)](2+) cation are in a cis arrangement to enable this species to participate in Te⋯Cl cation–anion inter­actions. There are also C—H⋯O inter­actions involving the dimethyl sulfoxide ligands and numerous cation–anion and anion–anion C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, which link the ions into a complex three-dimensional array.
