Abstract
A set of N-coordinated tellurium(II) compounds containing either C,N-chelating ligands CNR (where CN = 2-(RNCH)C6H4, R = tBu or Dipp; Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) or N,C,N pincer ligands NCNR (where NCN = 2,6-(RNCH)2C6H4, R = tBu or Dipp) were synthesized. In the case of C,N-chelated compounds, the reaction of CNDippLi with Te(dtc)2 (where dtc = Et2NCS2) in a 1 : 1 molar ratio smoothly provided the carbamate CNDippTe(dtc) which upon treatment with 2 eq. of HCl provided the chloride CNDippTeCl. In contrast, the analogous conversion of NCNRLi with Te(dtc)2 surprisingly furnished ionic bromides [NCNRTe]Br as a result of the exchange of dtc by Br coming from nBuBr present in the reaction mixture. Furthermore, the reaction of CNDippTeCl or [NCNRTe]Br with silver salts AgX (X = OTf or SbF6) provided the expected tellurenium cations [CNDippTe]SbF6 and [NCNRTe]X. To further increase the Lewis acidity of the central atom, the oxidation of selected compounds with 1 eq. of SO2Cl2 was examined yielding stable compounds [CNtBuTeCl2]X and [NCNtBuTeCl2]X. The oxidation of the Dipp substituted compounds proved to be more challenging and an excess of SO2Cl2 was necessary to obtain the oxidized products [CNDippTeCl2]SbF6 and [NCNDippTeCl2]SbF6, which could solely be characterized in solution. Compounds [CNtBuTeCl2]OTf and [NCNtBuTeCl2]OTf were shown to undergo a controlled hydrolysis to the corresponding telluroxanes. All compounds were studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in solution and for selected compounds solid state 125Te NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis were performed. The Lewis acidity of the studied cations was examined by the Gutmann-Beckett method using Et3PO as the probing agent. The Te-N chalcogen bonding situation of selected compounds has also been examined computationally by a set of real-space bonding indicators.

Abstract
The aryltellurenyl cation [2-(tBuNCH)C6 H4 Te]+ , a Lewis super acid, and the weakly coordinating carborane anion [CB11 H12 ]- , an extremely weak Brønsted acid (pKa =131.0 in MeCN), form an isolable ion pair complex [2-(tBuNCH)C6 H4 Te][CB11 H12 ], in which the Brønsted acidity (pKa 7.4 in MeCN) of the formally hydridic B-H bonds is dramatically increased by more than 120 orders of magnitude. The electrophilic activation of B-H bonds in the carborane moiety gives rise to a proton transfer from boron to nitrogen at slightly elevated temperatures, as rationalized by the isolation of a mixture of the zwitterionic isomers 12- and 7-[2-(tBuN{H}CH)C6 H4 Te(CB11 H11 )] in ratios ranging from 62 : 38 to 80 : 20.
