telluryl
Telluryl is a chemical term referring to a functional group or ion containing tellurium in a +6 oxidation state bonded to oxygen. The most common telluryl species is the telluryl ion, TeO3^2-. This ion is isoelectronic with the sulfate ion (SO4^2-) and the selenite ion (SeO3^2-). It is a linear molecule.
Telluryl compounds are generally derived from telluric acid, H2TeO4. Telluric acid is a weak acid and exists
The telluryl ion is a component of various salts, such as sodium telluryl (Na2TeO3), which can be
