The entire ditelluride molecule is planar with an average deviation of its non-H atoms of 0.016 angstrom. It is located on a center of symmetry at (1/2,0,0) with Te-TeA distance 2.725 (1) angstrom and angle C(1)-Te-TeA 85.8 (1)degrees. Each half of the molecule consists of a substituted pyridine ring with average C-N distance 1.334 (6) angstrom, C-C distance 1.38 (1) angstrom and angle C-N-C 117.5 (4)degrees. The ring is substituted in the 2-position [Te-C(1) distance 2.121 (3) angstrom and in the 3-position [Cl-C(2) distance 1.736 (4)] angstrom]. All of these values appear to be normal and there are no abnormally short intermolecular distances present in the structure.
