TLDR
The crystal structure of the 1:1 compound TeCl4 · AlCl3 has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data as mentioned in this paper, which consists of layers composed of strongly distorted TeCl6 octahedra sharing three neighbouring corners with three different AlCl4 tetrahedra.
Abstract
Die 1:1-Verbindung TeCl4 · AlCl3 kristallisiert monoklin in der Raumgruppe P21/c mit a = 6,600, b = 12,675, c = 13,578 A, β = 105,72°, Z = 4. Die Rontgenstrukturanalyse ergab eine Schichtenstruktur. Die Schichten werden von TeCl6-Oktaedern gebildet, die jeweils uber drei benachbarte Ecken mit verschiedenen AlCl4-Tetraedern zu einem zweidimensionalen Netz verbunden sind. Die TeCl6-Oktaeder sind stark verzerrt, die mittleren Abstande TeCl (endst.) betragen 2,276 A, wahrend die Abstande TeCl (Brucke) im Mittel mit 3,061 A sehr viel langer sind. Der Art ihrer Verknupfung entsprechend (uber 3 Ecken mit verschiedenen TeCl6-Polyedern) sind die AlCl4-Tetraeder schwach verzerrt: AlCl-Bindungsabstande: 2,138, 2,142, 2,146 A (Brucke), 2,087 A (endst.). Im polaren Grenzfall ist die Struktur in guter Naherung zu beschreiben als Anordnung von trigonal-pyramidalen TeCl-Ionen und AlCl-Ionen, beide im wesentlichen mit C3v-Symmetrie. Diese Formulierung ist in Ubereinstimmung mit schwingungsspektroskopischen Ergebnissen. The crystal structure of the 1:1 compound TeCl4 · AlCl3 has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data. The compound crystallizes in space group P21/c with a = 6.600, b = 12.675, c = 13.578 A, β = 105.72°, Z = 4. The structure consists of layers composed of strongly distorted TeCl6 octahedra sharing three neighbouring corners with three different AlCl4 tetrahedra. Mean bond distances are 2.276 A in the TeCl (terminal) bonds and 3.061 A for the TeCl (bridge) bonds. The AlCl tetrahedra, which share one corner with each of three TeCl6 polyhedra, have AlCl distances of 2.087 A (terminal), 2.138, 2.142 and 2.146 A. As a good approximation (in the polar limiting case) the structure can be described as an arrangement of trigonal pyramidal TeCl ions and tetrahedral AlCl ions, both with essentially C3v symmetry. This formulation is in accordance with spectroscopic results.

Secondary Bonding to Nonmetallic Elements

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative explanation of the secondary bond behavior is given, and it is argued that the secondary bonds are the result of directed forces rather than electrostatic or non-nondirectional van der Waals forces.
