Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS in these laboratories of the complexes formed by the 1s2 core (Light) elements, beryllium and boron, with the ditertiary arsine, o-phenylenebis(dimethylarsine) (refs. 1 and 2) (I), have now been extended to carbon. Compounds of the type [CH3AsR3] + X− (X = halogen), have been known for a long time and more recently3 derivatives of the type II and III have also been described.
