We present the reactivity and photochemistry of 2,5-diphenyltellurophene. A change in oxidation state from Te(ii) to Te(iv) occurs by oxidative addition of bromine, chlorine, and fluorine from appropriate halogen sources. Photoreductive halogen elimination is demonstrated using optical absorption spectroscopy and NMR spectroscopy. The photodebromination reaction occurs with 16.9% quantum yield,...

A highly sensitive and selective catalytic method with 2.5-order differential oscillopolarographic detection is described for the determination of tellurium, based on its activation effect on the slow Pd(II)-catalyzed reaction of sodium hypophosphite and methyl red in hydrochloric acid medium at 100 degrees C. Methyl red exhibited a sensitive 2.5-order differential polarographic wave at -0.35 V...

Coevaporated bismuth-tellurium and antimony-tellurium films were fabricated under various deposition conditions scontrolled evaporation rates of individual species, substrate temperature, and substrate materiald, and their thermoelectric sTEd properties sSeebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and carrier concentrationd were measured in search of optimal TE performance. The tellurium atomi...

Owing to the very brittle nature of tellurium powder, nanoscopic grains with an average size of 4.8 ± 0.8 nm were produced by dry vibration milling technique using a mixer/mill apparatus. A novel material was obtained by binding the nanosized tellurium grains with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer. The morphology, elemental composition, and structural and optical properties of Te/PMMA fi...

Tellurium thin films were studied for use as ammonia gas sensors operable at room temperature. The films showed a reversible increase in resistance when exposed to ammonia and the response was found to be linear in the range of 0-100 ppm. The interaction of ammonia with tellurium film was investigated using Raman, X-ray photoelectron and impedance spectroscopy techniques. The results of Raman a...
