Shielding by four TeCl4 molecules is observed for the distorted rhombic dodecahedron core of the tellurium nitride Te6N8 (see picture). With the characterization of this structure, the composition of the tellurium nitride discovered 100 years ago has now been determined. As a result of the shielding effect, the explosive character of the nitride is lost.
