Telluride (chemistry)

The telluride ion is the anion Te²⁻ and its derivatives. Telluride is a member of the fifth period of the periodic table, containing the dianions O²⁻, S²⁻, and Se²⁻ (see chalcogenide).

The telluride anion is formed from the reduction of tellurium metal. The redox potential of pure Te metal is fairly negative, -1.14 V.

The acid hydride of tellurium, hydrogen telluride, H₂Te, is an unstable compound that decomposes to tellurium metal. It is strongly acidic, dissociating into a hydrogen telluride ion (HTe⁻) in aqueous solutions. Like its sulfide and selenide counterparts, the Te²⁻ anion only exists in aqueous solutions in basic conditions.

Organic tellurides

Tellurides also describe a class of organotellurium compounds formally derived from Te²⁻. An illustrative member is dimethyl telluride, which results from the methylation of telluride salts:

Dimethyl telluride is formed by the body when tellurium is ingested . Such compounds are often called telluroethers because they are structurally related although the length of the C-Te bond is much longer than a C-O bond. C-Te-C angles tend to be closer to 90°.

We Weren't Crazy

We Weren't Crazy is the second studio album from American country music artist Josh Gracin. Originally titled All About Y'all, the album was slated for release in mid-2006 after the release of its debut single "Favorite State of Mind". However the album release was delayed when the debut single failed to perform strongly on radio. A second single, "I Keep Coming Back", was issued in early 2007, and the album's name was changed to I Keep Coming Back. This single similarly failed to perform well. The album was finally issued on April 1, 2008 as a limited release, following the release of its title track which was a top 10 hit.

Overall, the album's five singles have all charted in the Top 40 on the Hot Country Songs charts, including the number ten title track. Next came "Unbelievable (Ann Marie)" (a song that Josh Gracin wrote about his wife), which peaked at number 36, his least successful single to date, and "Telluride", which was previously recorded by Tim McGraw on his 2001 album Set This Circus Down, which peaked at number 34. "I Don't Want to Live" was recorded as "I Don't Wanna Live" by Chris Cagle on his 2008 album My Life's Been a Country Song. The album debuted at number four on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
