The geometry around the Te IV atom in the title compound, C 12 H 15 Cl 3 O 2 Te or [TeCl 2 (C 5 H 8 ClO)(C 7 H 7 O)], is pseudo-trigonal bipyramidal, with the Cl atoms in the apical positions and the Te lone pair occupying the fifth position in the equatorial plane. By including the intermolecular secondary Te...Cl contact [3.485 (1) A] trans to the Te-C vinyl bond, the structure may be regarded as pseudo-octahedral. The molecules are associated via an O-H...Cl hydrogen bond to form centrosymmetric dimeric units, which in turn are arranged in an infinite zigzag chain along the b axis through the secondary Te...Cl bond. Distances and angles are: Te-Cl 2.4820(8) and 2.5600(8), Te-C 2.124(3) and 2.129 (3) A; Cl-Te-Cl 173.24(3), Cl-Te-C 92.42 (8), 92.86 (8), 87.06 (8) and 88.03 (8), and C-Te-C 98.02 (12)°.
