title: Controlling the oxidation state of arsenic in cyclic arsenic cations.
abstract: Reduction of AsCl3 with SnCl2, followed by treatment of the "AsCl" with a 1,4-diimine results in electron transfer and formation of an arsenic(III) salt, while treatment of this arsenic(I) reagent or AsI3 with an alpha,alpha'-diiminopyridine ligand forms an arsenic(I) salt.
