The reactions of triarylalkylarsonium acetates with CuI and AgI in the presence of excess potassium thiocyanate yield the corresponding triarylalkylarsonium thiocyanato(N)iodocuprates(I) and -argentates(I). The composition, structure, and thermal behavior (in the range 20 31000oC) of these compounds were studied by chemical analysis, IR spectroscopy, conductometry, and differential thermal analysis.Tetraalkyl(aryl)arsonium halides are excellent precipitants for both relatively simple [1] and complex [2,3] anions. In this connection, it was suggested [4] that quaternary ammonium salts could be successfully used as reagents for quantitative determination of some elements capable of forming anionic complexes. The reactions of soluble arsonium salts with anionic complexes containing different acido ligands were not studied previously. In this study we prepared mixedligand anionic complexes of Cu(I) and Ag(I) with quaternary arsonium cations and examined their structure and thermal behavior in the range 20 31000oC.
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.
