Abstract
The attempted synthesis of bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl) phenylarsane and tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl) arsane through condensation of chloro arsanes and diphenyl (trimethylsilylmethyl) phosphane yielded a number of side products originating from migratory and redox-reactions in addition to the targeted ligands. An unexpected, 1,3,4-phosphadiarssolan-1-ium salt was obtained and crystallographically characterized as an A-shaped chlorido adduct.
