Abstract
The reaction of alkyl iodides with iodo-arsines in the presence of mercury generally gives arsonium derivatives of triiodomercury (II). Thus tetramethylarsonium triiodomercury (II) is obtained from the reactions of methyl iodide with the compounds (CH3)3−nAsIn (n = 1,2,3). Phenyl-iodo-arsines give the new compounds C6H5AsR3HgI3 and (C6H5)2AsR2HgI3 (R = CH3 or C2H5) from similar reactions. However, the reaction of iododimethylarsine with ethyl iodide gives the 1:1 arsine complex (CH3)2AsC2H5.HgI2. The compounds (C2H5)4AsI and (C2H5)4 AsHgI3 were reinvestigated, and used to prepare the compound ((C2H5)4As)2HgI4.Keywords
