The structure of the title Te IV complex, C 13 H 19 Br-N 2 OS 4 Te.0.45(CH 2 Cl 2 ), is pentagonal bipyramidal with four S atoms [Te-S 2.623 (1)-2.717 (1) A] and the Br atom [Te-Br 2.890(1) A] in equatorial positions. The p-methoxyphenyl group is axial [Te-C 2.145 (3) A] and the second axial position seems to be occupied by a dithiocarbamate group of a neighbouring molecule acting as a π ligand [Te...C 3.751(3)A, C-Te...C 170.2 (1)°], so that molecules are joined into centrosymmetric associations by this secondary coordination.
