This document describes the synthesis and characterization of 4-(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzylideneamino)phenyltellurium tribromide. The compound was synthesized by reacting 4-(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzylideamino)phenyl mercuric chloride with tellurium tetrabromide. It was characterized using various techniques such as elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Visible, 1H and 13C- NMR spectroscopies, X-Ray diffraction and optical measurements. Thin films of the compound were deposited and their optical properties like refractive index, extinction coefficient and optical energy gap were determined from transmittance measurements in the wavelength range of 190-900
