Telluracycloalkanes were fluorinated with XeF2 and the resulting tellurium(IV) fluorides were reacted with (CH3)3SiN3 to obtain the corresponding tellurium(IV) azides. The products, (CH2)5TeF2, (CH2)4TeF2, (CH2)5Te(N3)2 and (CH2)4Te(N3)2, were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The molecular structure of (CH2)4TeF2 as well as the structure of an oxygen bridged species, [(CH2)5TeN3]2O, have been determined by X-ray diffraction.
