The crystal and molecular structures of dithienyl ditelluride (C4H3S)2Te2 (1), difuryl ditelluride (C4H3O)2Te2 (2), dithienyl diselenide (C4H3S)2Se2 (3), and difuryl diselenide (C4H3O)2Se2 (4) are reported in this paper and compared to those of other simple diaryl ditellurides and diselenides. The chalcogen-chajcogen bonds exhibit approximately single bond lengths [Te-Te = 2.7337(8) and 2.7240(4) Å in 1 and 2, respectively; Se-Se = 2.357(1) and 2.368(2) Å in 3 and 4, respectively], as do the chalcogen-carbon bond lengths [Te-C = 2.095(9) - 2.104(6) in 1 and 2.091(6) - 2.105(9) Å in 2; Se-C = 1.87(1) - 1.90(1) Å in 3 and 1.887(8) - 1.897(10) Å in 4]. The aromatic rings are disordered. The dihedral angles C-E-E-C range from 79(2) to 96(1)° are consistent with the concept of minimized p lone-pair repulsion of adjacent chalcogen atoms. The dependence of molecular parameters on the angle between the aromatic rings and the chalcogen-chalcogen bonds follow trends established previously for aromatic disulfides. Though the bond parameters and conformations of 1 - 4 are similar, the packing of the molecules is different. The two ditellurides 1 and 2 show short Te···Te contacts (3.900 - 4.002 Å in 1 and 4.060 - 4.172 Å in 2). The two diselenides 3 and 4 do not exhibit close chalcogen-chalcogen interactions. The NMR spectroscopic properties of 1 - 4 are discussed.
