Specification: |
Telluric acid (CAS NO.7803-68-1) is also called Telluric(VI) acid ; CCRIS 9168 ; Orthotelluric acid ; Tellurate ; Tellurium hydroxide ; Telluric acid (H6TeO6) .The anhydrous acid of Telluric acid (CAS NO.7803-68-1) is stable in air at 100 °C but above this it dehydrates to form polymetatelluric acid, a white hygroscopic powder (approximate composition (H2TeO4)10), and allotelluric acid, an acid syrup of unknown structure (approximate composition (H2TeO4)3(H2O)4). Strong heating at over 300 °C produces the α- crystalline modification of tellurium trioxide, α-TeO3.
Reaction with diazomethane gives the hexamethyl ester, Te(OMe)6. Telluric acid and its salts mostly contain hexacoordinate tellurium. This is true even for salts such as magnesium tellurate, MgTeO4, which is isostructural with magnesium molybdate and contains TeO6 octahedra.
