Compounds formed by the
tritertiary arsine ligand methylbis(3-dimethyl- arsinylpropyl)arsine
(tas) with titanium tetrahalides (where the halide is
F, Cl, Br, or I) and zirconium tetrabromide are
described. Titanium and zirconium tetrabromide yield isomorphous crystals of
the neutral diamagnetic complexes (MBr4 tas), which are believed to be seven- coordinate, The
complexes [(TiF4)3 tas], [(TiCl4)2
tas], and [TiI3 tas]I have been isolated and their physical properties and
possible structures are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
