Abstract

The reactions of CyPHM (M = Li, Na) with As(NMe2)3 in the presence of various Lewis-base donor ligands leads to the formation of five-membered, heterocyclic [(CyP)4As]- anions. The syntheses and structures of the new complexes [(CyP)4AsLi· TMEDA·thf] (1), [(CyP)4AsNa·TMEDA] (2) (TMEDA = Me 2NCH2CH2NMe2) and [(CyP) 4AsLi(HNMe2)3] (3) are reported.
