Double insertion of CO2 into an Al-Te multiple bond.

We report the [Al(NONDipp)(Te)(THF)]- anion containing a terminal aluminium telluride bond. DFT calculations confirm appreciable Al-Te multiple bond character and reaction with CO2 proceeds via a double insertion to afford the previously unknown tellurodicarbonate ligand.
