The preparation and structure of the first scorpionate complex of
a group 16 element, [Te(κ<sup>2</sup>-Tm<sup>Me</sup>)<sub>2</sub>], is reported. It displays square
planar geometry at the Te atom and two distinct ligand conformations. In addition, the first pyrazolylborate complex of a group 15
element, [Bi(Tp)<sub>2</sub>(pzH)Cl], has been synthesized and characterized.
