Phosphinoarsonium and diarsonium cations from chloride-abstraction-induced pnictogen coupling.
The first salts of phosphinoarsonium, diarsonium, and phosphinodiarsonium ions are obtained from reaction mixtures of a chlorophosphine, a tertiary arsine, and a chloride-abstracting agent. The versatile synthetic approach has implications in the development of a wide variety of interpnictogen compounds.
