Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An arsinide, arsanide, dihydridoarsenate(1−) or arsanyl compound is a chemical derivative of arsine, where one hydrogen atom is replaced with a metal or cation. The arsinide ion has formula AsH−2. It can be considered as a ligand with name arsenido or arsanido. Few chemists study arsanyl compounds, as they are both toxic and unstable.[1] The IUPAC names are arsanide and dihydridoarsenate(1−). For the ligand the name is arsanido. The neutral −AsH2 group is termed arsanyl.

Alkali metal arsinides can form by bubbling arsine through a liquid ammonia solution of alkali metal such as sodium, potassium or alkaline earth metal such as calcium.[2]
Arsinides are also formed when arsine reacts with thin layers of alkali metals.[3]
The arsine may reduce some compounds to metals, so for example an attempt to make an indium arsinide results in metallic indium.[1]
When heated, metal hydrogen arsinide and metal dihydrogen arsinide compounds lose hydrogen to become a metal arsenide:
With lithium dihydrogen arsinide LiAsH2, it can also lose arsine AsH3 to become dilithium hydrogen arsinide Li2AsH:
These reactions take place even at room temperature, and result in a discolouration of the original chemical.[3]
Sodium dihydrogen arsinide NaAsH2 reacts with alkyl halides RX (where X = F, Cl, Br, I, and R is alkyl) to make dialkylarsine AsHR2. Potassium dihydrogen arsinide KAsH2 reacts with alkyl halides to make trialkylarsine AsR3.[4]
Sodium dihydrogen arsinide NaAsH2 reacts with diethyl carbonate (CH3CH2O)2CO to yield the 2-arsaethynolate [OCAs]− ion, (analogous with cyanate [OCN]− ion) which can be crystallised with the sodium ion Na+ and 18-crown-6.[5]
Arsinides react with water to yield arsine AsH3:
Potassium dihydrogen arsinide KAsH2 reacts with halobenzenes C6H5X, where X = Cl, Br, I (chlorobenzene C6H5Cl, bromobenzene C6H5Br, iodobenzene C6H5I) to produce benzene C6H6, tetraphenyldiarsine (C6H5)2As−As(C6H5)2 and triphenylarsine As(C6H5)3.[7]
Potassium dihydrogen arsinide KAsH2 reacts with a silyl halide, e.g. chlorosilane SiH3Cl, producing trisilylarsine.[8]
Potassium dihydrogen arsinide KAsH2 reacts with H2As−BH2·N(CH3)3 and a crown ether resulting in [K(C12H24O6)]+[H2As−BH2−AsH2]−.[9]

The hydrogen atoms in the arsinide anion may be substituted by organic or other groups which can then also produce ions, for example by methyl −CH3, like in potassium methyl arsinide (K+CH3AsH−),[12] or by trimethylsilyl −Si(CH3)3.[1] The doubly bonded ligand =AsH (or AsH2−) is called arsinidene.[11]
