The conjugate acids of benzo-2,1,3-selena- and benzo-2,1,3-telluradiazole are the simplest members of the family of N-substituted chalcogenadiazolium cations. Four crystalline phases that in principle contain such molecular ions were isolated and structurally characterized: C_{6}H_{4}(NH)_{2}TeCl_{2}, [C_{6}H_{5}(NH)]_{3}[C_{6}H_{4}(NH)_{2}TeCl_{4}]Cl, C_{6}H_{4}N(NH)SeCl and C_{6}H_{4}N(NH)SeCl ยท 1/2 [H_{5}O_{2}]Cl. The stepwise protonation of benzo-2,1,3-teluradiazole in DMSO solution was monitored by ^{1}H NMR, providing an estimate of the basicity of this molecule relative to pyridine. While most of the structures are consistent with the chalcogen in oxidation state II, the molecular geometry of C_{6}H_{4}(NH)_{2}TeCl_{4} is suggestive of oxidation state IV. The relationship between the two structural types was examined with DFT calculations.
