Deprotonation of the yttrium-arsine complex [Cp′3Y{As(H)2Mes}] (1) (Cp′=η5-C5H4Me, Mes=mesityl) by nBuLi produces the μ-arsenide complex [{Cp′2Y[μ-As(H)Mes]}3] (2). Deprotonation

Triamidoamine-supported zirconium complexes have been demonstrated to catalyze a range of bond-forming events utilizing arsines. Three different mechanisms have been observed in these reactions. In the first mechanism, triamidoamine-supported zirconium complexes of the general type (N 3N)ZrX (N3N = N(CH2CH2NSiMe 3)33-; X = monoanionic ligand) catalyzed the dehydrogenative dimerization of diphenylarsine. Mechanistic analysis revealed that As-As bond formation proceeds via σ-bond metathesis steps similar to the previously reported dehydrocoupling of phosphines by the same catalysts. In the second mechanism, sterically encumbered primary arsines appear to be dehydrocoupled via α elimination of an arsinidene fragment. Dehydrocoupling of dmpAsH2 (dmp = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl) to form (dmp)As = As(dmp) by (N3N)Zr-complexes appeared to proceed via elimination of dmpAs: from the arsenido intermediate, (N3N)ZrAsH(dmp) . Further support for α-arsinidene elimination came from the thermal decomposition of (N3N)ZrAsHMes (9) to (MesAs)4 (10), which obeyed first-order kinetics. In the third mechanism, the observation of stoichiometric insertion reactivity of the Zr-As bond with polar substrates, PhCH2NC, PhCN, (1-napthyl)NCS, and CS2, led to the development of intermolecular hydroarsination catalysis of terminal alkynes. Here, (N3N)ZrAsPh2 (2) catalyzed the addition of diphenylarsine to phenylacetylene and 1-hexyne to give the respective vinylarsine products. Arsenido complexes 2 and 9 and tetraarsine 10 have been structurally characterized.
