Organoarsenic (III) xanthates and dithiocarbamates of the types [RAs (S⌢ iS) 2] and [Me2As (S⌢ S)][R= Me, Et, Ph;(S⌢ S)-S2COEt, S2CNR′ 2 (R′= Me, Et)] have been prepared and characterised by arsenic analysis, mass, IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectral data. Crystal structure determinations for two of the compounds, RAs (S2CNEt2) 2 [R= Me or Ph], have also been determined and show that the arsenic atoms exist in pyramidal geometries and ...
