Coordination of arsine ligands as a general synthetic approach to rare examples of arsenic-antimony and arsenic-bismuth bonds

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Apr 15;131(14):5066-7. doi: 10.1021/ja900968j.

Abstract

Tertiary arsines form stable adducts with trichlorostibine and with cationic antimony and bismuth centers, defining coordination chemistry as a general synthetic approach to the formation of rare As-Sb and As-Bi bonds. A series of compounds containing As-Sb and As-Bi bonds define key milestones in the systematic development of interpnictogen compounds.
