The Synthesis and the Raman and Infrared Spectra of Methanetellurol

The Raman spectrum of methanetellurol (CH3TeH) is known, but the infrared spectrum has not yet been reported. In this paper the Raman and infrared spectra of CH3TeH are reported and compared with those of structurally related compounds: CH3Br, CH3OH, CH3SH and CH3SeH. Also, this report includes a description of the synthetic method and the chemical properties of CH3TeH.
